Software Releases
Software releases on My Oracle Support are grouped by product family (such as Oracle
Server), then the product (the specific server), and finally the software release
version. A software release contains all the updated software and firmware for your
server as a set of downloadable files (patches), including firmware, drivers, tools, or
utilities, all tested together to be compatible with your server.
Each patch is a zip file that contains a ReadMe file and a set of subdirectories
containing firmware or software files. The ReadMe file contains details on the
components that have changed since the prior software release and the bugs that have
been fixed.
My Oracle Support provides the set of software release packages for your server as
described in the following table. You can obtain these software release packages by
downloading the files from My Oracle Support.
