1. Release Notes for Release 2.4.3.2
  2. Firmware Qualification

5 Firmware Qualification

This chapter provides information about Oracle Private Cloud Appliance component firmware versions that have been qualified, through Oracle internal platform testing for use with a specific release of the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance Controller Software.

Interim Firmware Patches

Oracle periodically releases firmware patches for many products, for example to address security vulnerabilities. It may occur that an important firmware patch is released for a component of Oracle Private Cloud Appliance outside of the normal Controller Software release schedule. When this occurs, the patches go through the same testing as all other appliance firmware, but they are not added to the qualified firmware list or the installation .iso for the affected Controller Software release.

After thorough testing, important firmware patches that cannot be included in the Controller Software .iso image are made available to Oracle Private Cloud Appliance users through My Oracle Support.
