Oracle VM 3: New Patch Set! (or Mega Millions winner?...you decide!..)
- by Adam Hawley
Today, my favorite number is 14736185 (despite the fact that it did not win me $249million in the MegaMillions lottery...or did it?)! Why? Because it is our latest patch release and it is chock-full of good stuff for the Oracle VM 3.0 user. Oracle VM support customers can find it on My Oracle Support as patch number 14736185. This can be installed on Oracle VM 3.0.x systems as an incremental patch on top of 3.0.3, so if you
previously ran 3.0.3 GA or updated to 3.0.3 patch 1 ( build 150)
this will just apply on top. We're recommending you update to this patch set at your earliest convenience. For more details, see below but also see Wim Coekaert's blog with related info here.
