Procedure

To change the maintenance schedule of an Exadata Infrastructure:

1. Go to the Details page of the Exadata Infrastructure resource whose maintenance schedule you want to change.

   For instructions, see View Details of an Exadata Infrastructure Resource.

2. You can change the existing maintenance schedule of the Exadata Infrastructure resource.
   Click Edit maintenance preferences.

   Note:

   On Oracle Public Cloud, you have another way to edit maintenance schedule. Click Maintenance and from the Maintenance page, click Edit maintenance run.
3. Change the settings for the Maintenance method and Maintenance schedule as desired.
   • Configure Maintenance schedule: Choose one of the following options.
     • Select No preference to permit Oracle to schedule maintenance as needed. In Exadata Cloud@Customer this choice would be Oracle managed schedule.
     • Select Specify a schedule to restrict when Oracle can schedule maintenance. You can choose your preferred month, week, weekday, start time, and lead time for infrastructure maintenance. In Exadata Cloud@Customer this choice would be Customer managed schedule .

     Tip:

     For guidance on choosing a custom schedule, see Settings in Maintenance Schedule that are Customizable.
   • Configure maintenance method: By default, Exadata Infrastructure is updated in a rolling fashion, one server at a time. You can select non-rolling maintenance to update database and storage servers in parallel. However, non-rolling maintenance incurs a full system downtime.
4. When finished, save your changes.
