Oracle Linux

Goal:

How to subscribe Oracle Linux Extended Support yum channels on Oracle Linux 7 instances running on OCI.

Solution

  • Install the oraclelinux-els-release-el7.x86_64 package. This package is available in ol7_oci_included channel and should be enabled.
$ sudo yum-config-manager —enable ol7_oci_included
$ sudo yum install oraclelinux-els-release-el7.x86_64 -y

This will enable the following Oracle Linux Extended Support channels by default:

ol7_latest_ELS

ol7_UEKR6_ELS

ol7_ksplice_ELS

  • Check your yum channel configuration:
$ sudo yum repolist
  • If you are using the optional channels ol7_kvm_utils and ol7_userspace_ksplice, then you should consider enabling Oracle Linux Extended Support channels
