Downloading a Software Image

You can download available software images and make them available in your Exadata Cloud Service environment by using the cswlib download subcommand of the dbaascli utility as follows:

1. Connect to a compute node as the opc user.

   For detailed instructions, see Connecting to a Compute Node Through Secure Shell (SSH).

2. Start a root-user command shell:

   $ sudo -s
   #

3. Execute the dbaascli command with the cswlib download subcommand:

   # dbaascli cswlib download [--version software_version] [--bp software_bp]

   In the above command:

   • software_version — optionally specifies an Oracle Database software version. For example, 11204, 12102, or 12201.

   • software_bp — optionally identifies a bundle patch release. For example, APR2018, JAN2018, or OCT2017.

   Without the use of any optional arguments, the dbaascli cswlib download command downloads the latest available software image for all available Oracle Database software versions.

4. Exit the root-user command shell:

   # exit
   $
