Latest Releases and Patching News

Before upgrading, see the Requirements for Exadata Feature Usage section in this document for software requirements that may necessitate pre-upgrade patch application to other software in order to support specific Exadata features or patch application methods
  • Software minimum requirements for newer model replacement 8TB high capacity disk drives are documented in the Exadata Cell hardware sub-section of the Version Compatibility and Requirements section.
    • Currently for SuperCluster with Apr 2018 QFSDP/M8 built with 2.5.12 or later.
  • NEW QUARTERLY FULL STACK DOWNLOAD PATCH FOR SUPERCLUSTER (2019.Q2 - 11.2, 12.1, 12.2, and 18.x) : Patch 29252451
    • This is the patch for V1.x, V2.x  that will bring the SuperCluster Solaris 11.1/11.2/11.3  hosts to Solaris 11.4 SRU5.3 with Custom Incorporation v1.08. Refer to QFSDP Readme file the SuperCluster Patching Companion Document  for known issues.
    • The Q2 2019 QFSDP requires that components be at the versions included in Apr 2018 QFSDP or later QFSDP prior to applying.
    • SEE : Oracle Database 2019.Q2 Quarterly Full Stack Download Patch for SuperCluster Known Issues Document 2566857.1
    • Please be aware that a small number of M7 and M8 systems have been found to have IB HCA (CX-3) firmware version above the tested 2.11.1280 version. During testing we found that later versions of the IB HCA firmware will enduce node evictions during IB switch reboots. To address this issue a check for the correct IB HCA firmware version has been included in the 2019.Q1 install_smu script (part of the Infrastructure --> SCMU content) and the install order for this QFSDP recommends that the SCMU component be updated BEFORE attempting to update the IB switches.
  • New Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant (OEDA)  available , please review the applicable table in 888828.1
  • The preferred level for all Oracle SuperCluster T4-4, T5-8,  M6-32, M7, and M8  systems  is the QFSDP 2019.Q2 however, the minimum  QFSDP level for all Oracle SuperCluster T4-4, T5-8, M6-32, M7, and M8 systems is QFSDP Apr 2018.
    • This is the minimum version to get Operating system fixes backported and included in the supercluster-solaris custom incorporation.
    • If your Oracle SuperCluster T4-4, T5-8, M6-32,  or M7 (M8 cannot be)  is below this level contact support for guidance on getting your system up to date.
  • The QFSDPs contain the Solaris 11 IDRs within a SuperCluster Custom Incorporation.
    • If you want to see the contents you can do a pkg info or pkg contents command on supercluster-solaris.
    • Please check Document 2086278.1 for post release updates to the recommended Custom Incorporations, IDRs, and CVEs and apply these.

Important information

  • Please read the README files and the SuperCluster critical issues notes carefully. Please read them long before your patching window so you can make informed plans. 
  • Note that Quarterly Full Stack Download Patches (QFSDPs) are provided as close to the standard Oracle CPU dates (Jan, Apr, July, Oct) as possible*.
    • QFSDPs contain the recommended updates (if any) for SuperCluster component products, including system firmware, Solaris Operating System, Solaris Cluster, ZFS Storage Appliance, Exadata Storage Cells, Database, Infiniband Switches, the SuperCluster specific "exafamily" utilities, and user documentation.
    • QFSDPs are intensely tested by Oracle and should be applied as a unit, in line with the Engineered Together, Tested Together philosophy of Engineered Systems.
    • You should only ever need to apply the latest recommended QFSDP. The detailed component product tables below provide additional details regarding what works with what, but it should not be necessary to apply updates to individual components outside of the QFSDP unless advised to do so by Oracle Support to address a specific issue encountered.
    • The exception to this is that additional or updated Solaris 11 Custom Incorporations including IDRs (Interim Diagnostics and Relief) released after the QFSDP was built to address critical issues may be recommended in Document 2086278.1.
    • Read the nested READMEs in the QFSDP and the referenced Known Issues and SuperCluster Critical Issues docs thoroughly before applying and follow the instructions to the letter.
      *Issues found during testing may delay release.
  • Please Note that the 11.2.0.3.28 Exadata Bundle patch and the 12.1.0.1.8 GI PSU are the FINAL patch sets for these items , it is strongly recommended to get to 11.2.0.4 or 12.1.0.2.
  • Please Note  that there is always an initial install build version for any Oracle SuperCluster and that may not map to a specific QFSDP level . 
  • The 11.2.0.3 Grid Infrastructure portion of the BP still requires Patch 20303485 11.2.0.3.9 GI merge. However you should strongly consider upgrade to 11.2.0.4 or 12.1.0.2 and their latest bundle patches/PSUs as part of your patching exercise if your application permit.
  • Our recommendation is to upgrade to the latest EM framework with the latest plugins.

Oracle SuperCluster Update Policy

Overview

There are two types of maintenance – Proactive Maintenance to prevent issues, and Reactive Maintenance to address issues encountered.
Maintenance Updates will be provided quarterly for the proactive maintenance of SuperCluster.   (1)
Reactive Maintenance should be undertaken in consultation with Oracle support who will advise if an update should be applied to a component.

Proactive Maintenance

For Proactive Maintenance, a Maintenance Update will be provided quarterly, comprising an update procedure checklist and the recommended versions of components to which to update. 
The Maintenance Update should be applied as a unit.
Such proactive maintenance is important to help prevent issues arising in production, improve performance, etc.
Since the cost of planned downtime is typically far less than the cost of unplanned downtime, scheduled proactive maintenance windows should be part of SLAs with business units utilizing the servers.

Proactive Updates between Quarterly Maintenance Updates

Customers can apply additional Solaris packages to the General Purpose ( Application) domains and zones  as needed to support applications.  The packages should be at the same level of release as the GP domain that they are being applied to.
Customers can also apply later Solaris 10 patches and Solaris 11 SuperCluster Recommended Custom Incorporations, which may include Security IDRs Document 2086278.1.

Other components should not be updated outside of the quarterly Maintenance Updates without consulting Oracle Support.

Reactive Maintenance

Reactive maintenance should only be done when specifically requested by the Oracle support staff. Reactive maintenance may involve updating one or more components.
If a system has not been proactively maintained and is significantly out of date, or if Oracle support have grounds to believe the issue has been addressed in an available quarterly Maintenance Update, the customer may be advised to apply a quarterly Maintenance Update to the system.
A service request must be opened to receive a Solaris IDR (Interim Diagnostic Relief) that is not provided with the QFSDP or included in the following DOC as recommended between QFSDP cycles. Any IDR will need to be delivered as part of an updated SuperCluster Custom Incorporation, the latest of which can be found in Document 2086278.1 SuperCluster Recommended SuperCluster Custom Incorporations, IDRs, and CVEs Addressed.




Critical Issues

Document 1452277.1 SuperCluster Critical Issues

Latest Releases

The table below contains the list of the most recently released versions and patches for components of SuperCluster.  When new versions are released, previous versions listed in this table are moved to the Release History section below.
Patch Release Frequency
(1) Recommended bundle patches, named Quarterly Full Stack Download Patch (QFSDP), will be released quarterly, aligned with and including the database Critical Patch Update (CPU) and Patch Set Update (PSU) releases.
Oracle will also continue to make important fixes available in monthly or bimonthly interim bundle patches. Most customers will only install these if they are recommended by Oracle Support to address a specific issue that is fixed in an interim bundle patch and the customer cannot wait for the next QFSDP containing the fix. Interim bundle patches provide faster response for specific issues and are expected to contain fewer fixes than QFSDPs.

All bundle patches are cumulative, as in previous releases.
Note: Patch release frequency is subject to change without notice.

InfiniBand SwitchSemi-annually to annually
(1) Systems running Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1) are strongly advised to upgrade to 12.1.0.2
(2) Recommended Grid Infrastructure and Database patch bundles for Exadata are released quarterly, aligned with and including the database Critical Patch Update (CPU) and Patch Set Update (PSU) releases. The quarterly patch bundles are targeted for planned Grid Infrastructure and Database patching activities and are the only patch bundles that will be applied by most customers.  All patch bundles are cumulative.

Grid Infrastructure and Database patch bundles for Exadata are produced until the patching end date for a given patch set, as described in Note 742060.1.

(3) For information about the Lifetime Support Policy for Exadata  and Oracle Database software, refer to Oracle Software Technical Support Policies.

Recommended Versions
The recommended version depends on the state of deployment and may not be equal to the latest release specified in the Current Versions table below.  The general guideline is the following:
  • Systems that are in production or are in late testing stages before production should plan to periodically adopt more current patch releases. It is not required or necessary to install every new patch release. A patch should be installed on a production system only after it has been validated in a proper test environment if available. However, if the system requires a fix that is available in a newer version, then plans to adopt a newer version should be accelerated.
  • Systems that are in the early stages of testing before production or proofs-of-concept should adopt new releases and patches as they are made available as indicated in the Current Versions table below.

The SuperClusters are  tested and certified at certain SRU levels and Custom Incorporation (including IDR) versions. It is not allowable to send a SuperCluster LDom past the latest certified and tested SRU level . Individual IDRs will have to be backported to the costumer SRU level, applied to the SuperCluster Custom Incorporation,and then can be applied as long as there are not other conflicts.   If the customer needs to get to the latest certified SRU level it is strongly recommend that they do so via the latest QFSDP. Exceptions will have to be worked out between Oracle Support and SuperCluster Engineering.
Solaris 11.4 SRU5.3 with SuperCluster Custom Incorporation solaris/supercluster-solaris CI v1.08 for 11.4 SRU5.3. The Custom Incorporation replaces the need to manage multiple individual IDRs. See the relevant QFSDP README files for further information.
The QFSDP contains the SuperCluster Custom Incorporation that includes Solaris 11 SRU and Solaris 11 IDRs which were available at the time the QFSDP was built to address critical issues.
Please check Document 2086278.1 for post release updates to the Custom Incorporation for the Solaris 11 SRU version contained in the QFSDP and apply these.

 Supplemental README Note 1667414.1
 11.2.3.3.1 was re-released in Patch 19166601, which supersedes patch 17636228. The original cell image version supplied in patch 17636228 was 11.2.3.3.1.140529.1. The new cell image version supplied in patch 19166601 is 11.2.3.3.1.140708.
 Please review the following guidelines:
 1. The revised 11.2.3.3.1 Exadata Storage Server software release (patch 19166601) contains only changes to cell software. It is installed in the same manner as previous Exadata releases using the patchmgr utility. There are no changes to database server or InfiniBand switch software.
 2. Exadata Storage Servers currently running 11.2.3.3.0 or earlier that will be upgraded to 11.2.3.3.1 should ensure patch 19166601 is used for storage server upgrade, not patch 17636228.
 3. Exadata Storage Servers already running image version 11.2.3.3.1.140529.1 should upgrade to image version 11.2.3.3.1.140708 using patch 19166601 at the earliest opportunity. Image version is obtained by running the "imageinfo -ver" command.
 Minimum version required for use with Oracle Database 12.1.0.2.
