7.1.16.2 Deprecation of USB Images

Commencing with the September 2022 Oracle Exadata System Software maintenance releases (versions 21.2.16 and 22.1.3), USB images are deprecated.

After the deprecation, USB images are no longer available for imaging or re-imaging an Oracle Exadata Database Machine server and are not included in the Secure Eraser package (secureeraser_label.zip). Instead of USB image files, use the PXE option with ISO image files.
