Goal

To discuss this information further with Oracle experts and industry peers, we encourage you to review, join or start a discussion in the My Oracle Support Community, Storage Disk 2000, 3000, 6000 RAID Arrays & JBODs Community.

The intent of this document is to explain how to download Common Array Manager (CAM) and its patches from My Oracle Support (MOS) - Patches & Updates when you know the patch number.

The 3 steps are:

Determine the MOS Patch number for the software.
Download the software.
Download any required CAM patch (which includes CAM bug fixes and/or new array firmware).

The other option is to search and download CAM without knowing the patch number, these optional steps are described at the bottom of the "Solution" section.

Note: It is important to install any available and corresponding CAM patch after installing the software.

Fix

Note: Make sure to follow the 3 steps below. While step 1 gives the instructions to download CAM, the step 3 indicates how to download any required patches for the version of CAM you installed.
