Software Releases
Software releases on My Oracle Support are grouped by product family (such as
Oracle Server), then the product (the specific server or blade), and finally the
software release version. A software release contains all the updated software and
firmware for your server or blade 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 provides 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 releases for your server as
described in the following table. You can obtain these software releases by
downloading the files from My Oracle Support. Alternatively, you can download the
same firmware and software to your server using Oracle System Assistant.
