Sandy,
Note 888828.1 has the latest quarterly full stack download patch and the
individual patches. Each one of those patches has its own README that has
very specific steps for that patch. Is this what your team was referring
to?

We do not need to *upgrade* the OS. It's my understanding we need to
*upgrade* GRID, the databases, and the storage. We're going from
11.2.0.4 to 12.1.0.2 for both the X3 and the X4. We are familiar with
upgrading non-Exadata GRID and RAC databases to 12c, but the part that
seems to be confusing is where/how does the storage software upgrade fit
in. We were told we do not need a firmware upgrade by Platinum support.

What exactly is to be updated? OS? DBMS? Grid software? Storage software?
All of the above? "Update" is an ambiguous term here.

Exadata x3 and x4
We need to upgrade our Exadata x3 and x4 databases and cell storage to
be in compliance with our SLAs. These are two-node RAC databases with
ASM. The two gentlemen on the team who are doing the work say the oracle
documentation is inadequate. We also talked to Oracle about them doing the
upgrade, but apparently, it isn't a viable option for us right now. Does
anyone have or know where we can find step-by-step upgrade instructions
both the cell storage and the databases? The guys tell me their searches
haven't resulted in finding a good document.
