Removing Packages from an Instance

Remove a package to uninstall it from an Oracle Linux instance in OS Management Hub.

Important

If an instance is assigned to a lifecycle stage, you can't change its contents directly. Instead, manage its content through the lifecycle environment.

Want to update multiple instances at once? See:

    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 Packages.
    3. Select the package versions to remove on the instance.
      Tip

      Use the search box to find a specific package.
    4. Select Remove.
    5. Define the job that will remove the packages:

      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 Remove.

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

    oci os-management-hub managed-instance remove-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 RemovePackagesFromManagedInstance operation to remove packages on a managed instance.
