Oracle^® MiniCluster S7-2 Administration Guide

View Software Component Versions (CLI)

Use this procedure to display the version status of the components through the CLI. Alternatively, you can use the BUI. The BUI provides component version numbers, the CLI does not. See View Software Component Versions (BUI).

1. Ensure that the Patch Bundle is downloaded to MiniCluster.

   The latest Patch Bundle provides the system with the latest component versions, and is used to determine if updates are available for the components. These procedures describe how to administer the Patch Bundle:

   1. Download the Patch Bundle.

      See Check for and Obtain the Latest Updates.

   2. Unzip and extract the bundle.

      See Extract the Patch Bundle.

2. Log into the MCMU CLI as a primary admin, such as mcinstall.

   See Log in to the MCMU CLI.

3. Upload the latest component versions.

   Using the upload option moves the contents of the Patch Bundle to the /var/opt/oracle.minicluster/sfw directory. This is necessary for the list option in Step 4 to report the correct component status.

   This example uploads all the components. It can run for five minutes or more.

   % mcmu patch -p upload
   [INFO    ] Actions to execute: upload
   [INFO    ] mcpatch: 0 % Executing strategy of Main level
   [INFO    ] Running plugins: ['upload', 'check_be', 'check_jbod', 'check_ilom', 'check_omctoolkit', 'check_acfs', 
                                'check_repo', 'check_solaris_gz', 'check_solaris_kz', 'check_tenants']
   .
   <output omitted>
   .
   [INFO    ] mcpatch: 100 % Done.
   [INFO    ] See log file for details: /var/opt/oracle.minicluster/setup/logs/mc_patch_021617_140513.log
   [INFO    ] Completed successfully

   This example uploads one component:

   % mcmu patch -p check_ilom
   [INFO    ] Actions to execute: check_ilom
   [INFO    ] mcpatch: 0 % Executing strategy of Main level
   [INFO    ] Running plugins: ['check_ilom']
   [INFO    ] mcpatch: 0 % Started: Check system firmware version of Executing plugins strategy
   [INFO    ] mcpatch: 0 % Finished: Check system firmware version of Executing plugins strategy
   [INFO    ] mcpatch: 90 % Executing plugins strategy of Executing strategy
   [INFO    ] mcpatch: 90 % Executing strategy of Main level
   [INFO    ] mcpatch: 100 % Executing strategy of Main level
   [INFO    ] Command execution statistics: pexpect.run=10, task=0
   [INFO    ] mcpatch: 100 % Done.
   [INFO    ] See log file for details: /var/opt/oracle.minicluster/setup/logs/mc_patch_021617_140656.log
   [INFO    ] Completed successfully
   mcinstall@mc5qt-n1:/var/home/mcinstall % exit

4. Display the update status of the components.

   As shown in the example:

   • CURRENT – Indicates the component is up-to-date.

   • UPGRADE_NEEDED – Indicates that a newer version is available for the component .

   • NEWER – (Not shown) Indicates that a component's version is newer than what is in /var/opt/oracle.minicluster/sfw.

   % mcmu patch -l
   COMPONENT-------------------------------- | STATUS--------
   MiniCluster Configuration Utility         | CURRENT
   Storage Tray firmware                     | CURRENT
   Shared Filesystem software                | CURRENT
   Operating System package repository       | CURRENT
   Shared Storage Operating System           | CURRENT
   Compute Nodes Operating System            | CURRENT
   Compute Node firmware                     | UPGRADE_NEEDED
   Grid Infrastructure                       | CURRENT
   Oracle db home /u01/.../11.2.0.4/dbhome_3 | CURRENT
   Oracle db home /u01/.../11.2.0.4/dbhome_4 | CURRENT
   Oracle db home /u01/.../12.1.0.2/dbhome_1 | UPGRADE_NEEDED
   Oracle db home /u01/.../12.1.0.2/dbhome_2 | UPGRADE_NEEDED

5. Consider your next action.

   • Update the MCMU component, see Update the MCMU Component (CLI).

   • Update any of the other components, see Update Other MiniCluster Software Components (CLI) or Update MiniCluster Software (BUI).
