Attaching Software Sources to an Instance
Attach a software source to an instance in Autonomous Linux to provide that instance with access to content.
Autonomous Linux instances have a set of mandatory software sources automatically attached to the instance. You can't remove these sources, but can attach additional sources as needed.
If an instance is a member of a group, you can't change its associated software sources directly. Instead, manage its software sources through its associated group.
- On the Instances list page, select the name of the instance. If you need help finding the list page, see Listing Instances.
- Under Resources, select Software Sources.
- Select Attach.
-
Enter the details for the job that attaches the software sources:
Software sources: Select the compartment under List scope, and then select the software sources to attach to the instance.Tip
Use the search box to find a specific software source.Name: Enter a name for the job. The name doesn't need to be unique, because an Oracle Cloud Identifier (OCID) uniquely identifies the job. Avoid entering confidential information.
Description: (Optional) Enter a description for the job. Avoid entering confidential information.
Schedule: Choose when to run the job.
- Run immediately: Select this option to run the job now.
- Schedule: Select this option to run the job at a future date and time. Select the calendar icon to select a date and time.
- Automatic Retry: When selected, if the initial execution of the job fails, the service retries the job up three times. Each retry is five minutes apart.
-
Show advanced options: Add tags to this resource.
If you have permissions to create a resource, then you also have permissions to apply free-form tags to that resource. To apply a defined tag, you must have permissions to use the tag namespace. For more information about tagging, see Resource Tags. If you're not sure whether to apply tags, ask an administrator or skip this option. You can apply tags later.
- Select Attach.
- After attaching software sources, next steps might include:
Use the oci os-management-hub managed-instance attach-software-sources command and required parameters to attach a software source to a managed instance.
oci os-management-hub managed-instance attach-software-source --managed-instance-id ocid --software-sources software-source-ocids [OPTIONS]For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the Command Line Reference.
Run the AttachSoftwareSourcesToManagedInstance operation to attach a software source to an instance.
