Updating the Cloud Tooling on Exadata Cloud Service

You can update the cloud-specific tooling included on an Exadata Cloud Service compute node by downloading and applying a software package containing the updated tools.

Note:

It is highly recommended to maintain the same version of cloud tooling across your Exadata Cloud Service environment.

To check the installed cloud tooling release and check for updates:

Connect to the compute node as the opc user.

See Connecting to a Compute Node Through Secure Shell (SSH).
Start a root-user command shell:
```
$ sudo -s
#
```
Use the following command to display information about the installed cloud tooling and to list the available updates.
```
# dbaascli patch tools list
```
The command output displays:
- The version of the cloud tooling that is installed on the compute node.
- A list of available updates.
- Notification of the cloud tooling version that is installed on the other compute nodes in the VM cluster.

To update the cloud-specific tooling:

Connect to the compute node as the opc user.

See Connecting to a Compute Node Through Secure Shell (SSH).
Start a root-user command shell:
```
$ sudo -s
#
```
Download and apply the cloud tooling update:
- To update to the latest available cloud tooling, use the following command:
```
# dbaascli patch tools apply --patchid LATEST
```
- To update to a specific cloud tooling release, use the following command:
```
# dbaascli patch tools apply --patchid patch-id
```
  In the preceding command, patch-id is a cloud tooling patch identifier, as reported in the output of the dbaascli patch tools list command.
