Working with Software Notifications and
Updates
You can set up periodic checks for software updates, or you can check for updates at any time.
When an updated software package is available, you are directed to download the latest package
from My Oracle Support (MOS). It is recommended that you remove older system updates to
avoid accruing unnecessary space on the system disks.
To use the update notification feature, the Phone Home service must be enabled, as described in
“Phone Home Configuration” in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Administration Guide, Release
OS8.6.0.
