Installing Individual Updates on an Instance

• Console
• CLI
• API

• 1. On the Instances list page, select the name of the instance. If you need help finding the list page, see Listing Instances.
  2. Under Resources, select Updates.
  3. Select the updates to install on the instance.
     Tip
     
     Use the search box to find a specific update.
  4. Select Update.
  5. Define the update job:

     Name: Enter a name for the job. The name doesn't need to be unique, because an Oracle Cloud Identifier (OCID) uniquely identifies the job. Avoid entering confidential information.

     Description: (Optional) Enter a description for the job. Avoid entering confidential information.

     Schedule: Choose when to run the job.

     • Run immediately: Select this option to run the job now.
     • Schedule: Select this option to run the job at a future date and time. Select the calendar icon to select a date and time.
       • Automatic Retry: When selected, if the initial execution of the job fails, the service retries the job up three times. Each retry is five minutes apart.

       • Show advanced options: Add tags to this resource.

         If you have permissions to create a resource, then you also have permissions to apply free-form tags to that resource. To apply a defined tag, you must have permissions to use the tag namespace. For more information about tagging, see Resource Tags. If you're not sure whether to apply tags, ask an administrator or skip this option. You can apply tags later.

  6. Select Install.

• Use the oci os-management-hub managed-instance update-packages command and required parameters to update a specific package on a managed instance.

  oci os-management-hub managed-instance update-packages --managed-instance-id ocid --package-names package-names.json [OPTIONS]

  For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the Command Line Reference.

• Run the CreateScheduledJob operation to create an update job.
