This is a collection or Oracle By Example (OBE) style tutorials with step-by-step instructions for important Oracle Exalogic administrative tasks.
The Exalogic Lifecycle Toolkit is collection of utilities that are available on My Oracle Support and that help simplify and automate common machine administration tasks like health checks, backups, and diagnostics. In this tutorial you will install the ELLC Toolkit to the Exalogic storage appliance by using a compute node.
Oracle provides a base vServer template that includes an Oracle Linux 5 installation along with Exalogic-specific packages and configurations. Like any instance of Oracle Linux, vServers can register with a YUM repository in order to locate and download the latest OS package updates. This can be the public Oracle repository or a local repository in your data center. This tutorial shows you how to use an existing YUM repository to update a vServer's operating system libraries according to Oracle's best practices.
