Michael,
Fuad Arshad is correct. You can't just do installs and apply patches willy-nilly on an ODA. We have two X4-2s and two X5-2s and have patched both, with both amazement and grief at the complexity of ODA patchsets. Yet they do work. ODAs are a packaged, extremely integrated engineered system with many internal dependencies. Each ODA patchset has an Ifrastructure piece (from BIOS to OS), a Grid Infrastructure piece (hugely important), and a Database piece, all of which must be applied sequentially.
You should ONLY apply ODA-specific patchsets and the MOS 888888.1 note is the place to go for that info. You'll have to follow the patch application sequence that note says to get from wherever you are to wherever you want to go.
Good luck. ODAs are very, very nice to work with, but must be handled with great care.

I've read the note and that's where my confusion lies, I just want a bare-metal o/s, GI and rdbms.
I was wondering if there is an option to upgrade the o/s.

oda is an engineered system and you cannot just deploy Linux images in the manner right now I think oda supports oel 5.10 but you will patch to get to it read thru the ODA mos note 888888.1 which explains oda alliance software latest one is 12.1.2.5 note hasn't been updated to include it yet though

We have a x3-2 oda that is just recently being racked. It was purchased two years ago and never turned on.
I believe it has linux 5.8 but I talked to the SA's and I would like it to be oel 6.5 with 12.1.0.2 GI and 11.2.0.4 rdbms.
I'm more than a little confused about the steps involved.
I think it's
get a 12.1.??? iso from oracle that contains the oel 6.5
and then the clone files that contain the GI and rdbms files.
I'm going to open a ticket with oracle but am hoping for a quick hit from the list.
Thanks
Mike
