In this procedure, you are downloading the MiniCluster component bundle, which is contained in a series of patch zip files. You are only downloading these patch zip files at this point, and you will move the MiniCluster component bundle files to the compute nodes later in the overall installation process.
Go to the My Oracle Support (MOS) site:
and click on the Sign In button to log in to the site.
Enter 2153282.1 in the search field in the upper right corner of the page, or in the search field beneath the Enter search terms text lower on the page, and locate the MiniCluster MOS note (Oracle MiniCluster S7-2 Software Download Center).
Click on the Latest Release link at the top of the MOS note, or on the MiniCluster Component Bundle link beneath the Latest Release link, to go to the section in the MOS note with the latest version of the MiniCluster component bundle.
The MiniCluster component bundle is contained within a patchset. Clicking on the patch ID brings you to the download page for this particular patchset.
Download the patch zip files onto any system, such as a laptop. Note that the information in the Platform or Language field on the patch page refers to the OS that runs on the MiniCluster itself, not the OS for the system where you will be downloading the patch zip files. You can download the patch zip files for the MiniCluster component bundle onto any system that runs the Windows, Solaris or Linux operating systems.
A set of TAR files are created.
At this point in the process, you have downloaded and extracted the necessary MiniCluster component bundle files onto your system. You will move the MiniCluster component bundle files to the compute nodes later in the overall installation process.
