After this is complete, open a browser and ensure you can navigate to
http://yourserver.yourdomain.com/yum/unknown/EXADATA/dbserver/11.2/latest/x86_64 .
The patch instructions may, at this point, require you to remove some or many existing RPMs on your system; as
these requirements may vary for different patches, please following the instructions in the README file to identify and
remove any packages that the patch requires removing.
Typically, after removing unnecessary patches, the README will instruct you to install yum support. This is
accomplished by installing a number of packages in the yum_essential_rpms directory from patch 13741363:

[root@cm01dbm02 yum_essential_rpms]# pwd
/u01/stg/13741363/11.2.3.1.0/yum_essential_rpms
[root@cm01dbm02 yum_essential_rpms]# rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps *rpm
-nodeps: unknown option
[root@cm01dbm02 yum_essential_rpms]# rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps *rpm

[root@cm01dbm02 yum_essential_rpms]#

After this is complete, import the RPM key for signature validation and remove the yum rhn plugin:

[root@cm01dbm02]# rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY
[root@cm01dbm02 yum_essential_rpms]# rpm -q yum-rhn-plugin
package yum-rhn-plugin is not installed
[root@cm01dbm02 yum_essential_rpms]#

The next step is to copy the repository file from the yum patch, 13741363, to
/etc/yum.repos.d/Exadata-computenode.repo and edit it to match Oracle's instructions in the storage
server README file.

■ When editing the information in the following file, use the instructions supplied in the exadata storage server
patch, not those in patch 13741363. the latter patch provides generic instructions that are not release-specific to the
exadata patch you are applying, and the patch you are applying should have instructions in its README file that identify
alternative steps to those in 13741363.
