Oracle released the PatchSet 5 for Exalytics last week.
Here are some highlights:
New base image - 1.0.0.7 to include kernel upgrade to 2.6.39-400. additional drivers and firmware upgrade for X4-4 machines.
It comes with an Upgrade utility which will allow for patching a PS4 machine to PS5.
I will update this as we upgrade a client's machine to PS5!
