Subscribe Exadata Targets

To use Fleet Maintenance patching, the Exadata targets must be subscribed to appropriate image for each Exadata component. An Exadata target should be subscribed to only one gold image at a time.

To subscribe Exadata targets to the updated (latest) gold image, use the following EMCLI command format based on the Exadata type:

  • EMCLI command format for Storage Server: 

    emcli db_software_maintenance 
-subscribeTarget 
-target_type="oracle_exadata" 
-target_list="cell1.subdom.example.com,cell2.subdom.example.com" 
-image_id="148AFC66D2523DDDE063DF034B64E36D"

  • EMCLI command format for Switch: 

    emcli db_software_maintenance 
-subscribeTarget 
-target_type="oracle_si_netswitch" 
-target_list="switch4.subdom.example.com,switch05.subdom.example.com" 
-image_id="148AFC66D2523DDDE063DF034B64E36D"

  • EMCLI command format for Database Node: 

    emcli db_software_maintenance 
-subscribeTarget 
-target_type="host" 
-target_list="exadatabase4.subdom.example.com,exadatabse5.subdom.example.com" 
-image_id="148AFC66D2523DDDE063DF034B64E36D"

After the targets are subscribed, you can proceed to patching.
