Patching and Upgrades - Oracle Exadata Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach - page 345

■ in this recipe, as well as recipes 11-3, 11-4, and 11-6, we will be showing examples for applying the July
2012 QFsdp, patch 14207418. the steps in this recipe are specific to the patch contents and README instructions of this
patch, but they should provide an overview of a typical exadata patching.

Note

1. Begin by reading the patch README file. Unzip the patch contents from the

<patch_stage>/14207418/Infrastructure/InfiniBandSwitchSoftware/1.3.3-2
directory and transfer to your first InfiniBand switch's /tmp directory, as outlined:
