ARPUPDATE
option for
ifcfg-*
files
iptables-services
Package Includes Support for
/etc/sysctl.d
This chapter describes the new features and notable changes that are introduced by Oracle Linux 6 Update 10.
In this update, the
ARPUPDATE
option for
ifconf-*
files is introduced. By default, the
value for this setting is
yes
. However, you
can change the value to
no
, which enables you
to disable updating of neighboring computers by using the
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) information about the current
network interface controller.
The
init
scripts for the
iptables
and
ip6tables
services includes support for configuration files that are
located in the
/etc/sysctl.d
directory, as
well as
/etc/sysctl.conf
. This enhancement
ensures that any user-provided files in
/etc/sysctl.d
are also correctly accounted
for when the
iptables
service restarts.
The following Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK) drivers have been updated in Oracle Linux 6 Update 10:
bnxt_en
driver updated to version 1.5.0
lpfc
driver updated to version 11.0.1.6
qla2xxx
driver updated to version
8.07.00.26.06.8-k
Support for retpolines has been added to the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) in this update. The kernel uses this technique to reduce the overhead of mitigating Spectre Variant 2 attacks, which is described in CVE-2017-5715.
Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 ships with the following kernel packages:
Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 (
kernel-uek-4.1.12-124.16.4.el6uek4
) for x86-64
Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2 (
kernel-uek-2.6.39-400.294.3.el6uek
) for i386
Red Hat Compatible Kernel
(
kernel-2.6.32-754.el6
) for i386 and x86-64
By default, both UEK and RHCK for the specific architecture (i386 or x86-64) are installed and the system boots the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel release.
The ISO image for Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 for i386 includes the Red Hat Compatible Kernel and Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2 but not Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4, which does not support i386.
The ISO image for Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 for x86-64 includes the Red Hat Compatible Kernel and Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 7 but not Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2. You are still able to run Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 using the latest UEK R3 version.
Note that the default I/O scheduler that is used for the UEK
is
deadline
, while
cfq
is
the default for RHCK.
To make your system boot the Red Hat Compatible Kernel by default:
Edit the
/etc/grub.conf
file and change
the value of the
default
parameter to
indicate the Red Hat Compatible Kernel. Note that each entry
for a bootable kernel in the file starts with a
title
definition. The entries are
effectively numbered from
0
upwards,
where
0
corresponds to the first entry in
the file,
1
corresponds to the second
entry, and so on. To view the GRUB man page, type the
info grub
command.
Edit the
/etc/sysconfig/kernel
file and
change the setting for the default kernel package type from
DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel-uek
to
DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel
.
The Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2 (UEK R2) is based on the upstream kernel 3.0.36 stable source tree.
UEK supports a wide range of hardware and devices. In close cooperation with hardware and storage vendors, a number of device drivers have been updated by Oracle in the 2.6.39-400 kernel. For details, see the Oracle Linux Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2 Quarterly Update 5 Release Notes .
Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 7 is based on the upstream kernel 4.1.12 stable source tree. For more information, see the Oracle LinuxUnbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 7 Release Notes .
A very large number of changes have taken place in mainline Linux between 3.0.x, on which UEK R2 is based, and 4.1.12, on which UEK R4 is based. For details about these changes, see the kernel change logs that the Linux Kernel Newbies maintain at http://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxVersions .
Note the following information about feature changes introduced in a previous Oracle Linux 6 update.
Although previous releases of Oracle Linux 6 provide some support for Ceph Storage Release 1.0, which is based on the Ceph Community Firefly release (v0.80), no support is provided on Oracle Linux 6 for the subsequent Ceph Storage Release 2.0, which is based on the Ceph Community Jewel release (v10.2.2).
From Oracle Linux 6 Update 9 and onward, Ceph is no longer supported on Oracle Linux 6. Continued support for subsequent releases of Ceph is available on Oracle Linux 7.
The Open Security Content Automation Protocol (OpenSCAP)
Guide package (
scap-security-guide
)
provides guidance, baselines, and validation mechanisms for
implementing security hardening of an Oracle Linux 6 system. OpenSCAP
includes the
oscap
utility that you use to
test the security compliance of a system and produce an online
report that describes security policy requirements and how
your system measures up to these requirements. OpenSCAP
enables you to check system compliance, as required by your
site security policy.
See Using OpenSCAP to Scan for Vulnerabilities in the Oracle Linux 6 Security Guide .
Oracle Linux 6 includes the Keepalived and HAProxy technologies for balancing access to network services while maintaining continuous access to those services.
Keepalived uses the IP Virtual Server (IPVS) kernel module to provide transport layer (Layer 4) load balancing, redirecting requests for network-based services to individual members of a server cluster. IPVS monitors the status of each server and uses the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) to implement high availability.
HAProxy is an application layer (Layer 7) load balancing and high availability solution that you can use to implement a reverse proxy for HTTP and TCP-based Internet services.
See Load Balancing and High Availability Configuration in the Oracle Linux 6 Administrator's Guide .
The System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) supports the following features when using Oracle Linux clients with Active Directory (AD):
Dynamic updates to DNS.
Group and user lookups of NetBIOS names.
Site discovery of domain controllers.
User and group resolution and user authentication for trusted domains within a single AD forest.
The log format for Oracle ASMLib that is used to manage Oracle
ASM devices dedicated to Oracle Databases has been updated to
include timestamps of the activities that are logged to
/var/log/oracleasm
.
The
oracleasm
command is improved for the
scandisks
operation so that it is able scan
devices that are not directly available under
/dev
, but could be available within
subdirectories within
/dev
. You can
configure additional directories to be scanned during the
scandisks
operation by setting the
Directories to scan
option when using the
interactive configuration tool, as shown in the following
example:
#oracleasm configure -I
Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver. ... The next two configuration options take substrings to match device names. The substring "sd" (without the quotes), for example, matches "sda", "sdb", etc. You may enter more than one substring pattern, separated by spaces. The special string "none" (again, without the quotes) will clear the value. . Device order to scan for ASM disks []: Devices to exclude from scanning []:dm
Directories to scan []:/dev/mapper/
Use device logical block size for ASM (y/n) [n]: Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: done
If you need to remove RHCK from a system, you can use the
kernel-transition
package to prepare the
system for removing RHCK without removing dependent packages
such as
bluez
,
fuse
, and
irqbalance
that might be needed for system
operation. The
kernel-transition
package does
not contain any files itself, but instead transfers the package
dependencies from the
kernel
package to the
kernel-uek
package.
You must have subscribed the system to be transitioned to the
ol6_latest
channel on ULN.
Because the
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau
package
requires
kernel-drm-nouveau
version 16, but
kernel-uek
provides
kernel-uek-drm-nouveau
version 12, removing
the RHCK also removes
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau
.
If you use this procedure on systems with Nvidia graphics
hardware, the graphical interface will become low resolution
and slow.
Transition a system from the Red Hat Compatible kernel to the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel as follows:
Install the
kernel-transition
package on
the system:
# yum install kernel-transition
This command changes the dependencies for important packages from the RHCK to UEK.
Remove RHCK:
# yum remove kernel
This command prompts you before removing remaining packages that depend on RHCK.
When
yum
prompts you to remove a
package, only remove packages that relate to the
kernel
package. If you are prompted to
remove a package that your system requires, enter
n
to prevent the package being
removed. You should also retain any other dependent
packages.
Running the yum update command subsequently updates only UEK.
To reinstall RHCK, run the following command:
# yum install kernel
You can also use
kernel-transition
with a
kickstart installation. Include the following lines in the
%packages
section to install the
kernel-uek
and
kernel-transition
packages, but not the
kernel
package:
-kernel kernel-transition
If you create a customized installation ISO, you can replace the
kernel
package with the
kernel-transition
package so that dependency
resolution pulls in
kernel-transition
instead
of
kernel
. If
kernel-transition
is present on the
installation media, it cannot be installed accidentally because
it provides a kernel version that is lower than that of any
RHCK.
Technology Preview features are still under development but are made available for testing and evaluation purposes and to give the features wider exposure. These features are not supported under Oracle Linux support subscriptions and are not suitable for production use.
Features that are currently under technology preview when using UEK R4U7 are described in the Oracle LinuxUnbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 7 Release Notes .
Features that are currently under technology preview when using UEK R2QU5 are described in Oracle Linux Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2 Quarterly Update 5 .
The following technology preview features are currently not supported under Oracle Linux 6 and might not be functionally complete:
Apache IPA identity management modules
Cross Realm Kerberos Trust Functionality (relies on the Samba 4 client library)
DIF/DIX support for SCSI
dm-era
is a device mapper target that
records when blocks are written to a device and is typically
intended for use by backup applications

The following are known issues in this update.
If your system supports UEFI boot mode, and you want to boot in this mode to install Oracle Linux 6 Update 10, the target disk must use the GUID Partition Table (GPT), as some UEFI firmwares do not allow UEFI/MBR boot. (Bug ID 28213206)
If a system is configured to use iSCSI storage on a network
interface within the BIOS or UEFI, the Oracle Linux installer
does not provide an option to select the network device to use
if the
URL
option is selected on the
Installation Method
screen.
Workarounds include the following:
Disable iSCSI configuration in the BIOS or UEFI to cause
the installer to display the
Network Devices
screen when viewing the
URL
Setup
options.
Make sure that the URL is accessible by using the same
network device that is configured for iSCSI in the BIOS or
UEFI, as this is the network interface that is used by
default by the installer when the
Installation
Method
is set to
URL
.
Perform a kickstart installation and specify that the
ksdevice
kernel boot parameter point to
the correct network interface to use for the installation.
The
Network Devices
screen is still not
displayed in the installer, but a network interface that
is not configured for iSCSI can be used to complete the
installation. For more information, see
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37670_01//E41137/html/ch03s02.html
in the
Oracle Linux Installation Guide for Release
6
.
(Bug ID 23273430)
A kickstart installation fails when the
ignoredisk
--only-use
option is used to point to a multipath
device. This problem occurs because multipath is not started
by the time that the installer searches the multipath map to
match the device.
Rather than use the
ignoredisk --only-use
option, specify which drives should
not
be used in the partitioning section by using the
ignoredisk --drives
option, as shown in the
following example:
clearpart --all --initlabel ignoredisk --drives=sda,sdb part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=500 --asprimary --ondisk=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600144f0cab1f53e000058a15c870904 part / --fstype=ext4 --size=8192 --grow --maxsize=51200 --asprimary --ondisk=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600144f0cab1f53e000058a15c870904 part swap --size=16384 --asprimary --ondisk=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600144f0cab1f53e000058a15c870904
(Bug ID 25548146)
For a description of the known issues for Btrfs with Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 7, see the Oracle LinuxUnbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 7 Release Notes .
For a description of the known issues for Btrfs with Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2 Quarterly Update 5, see the Oracle Linux Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2 Quarterly Update 5 Release Notes .
If a snapshot is deleted and the parent directory is
fsynced
, the log cannot be replayed during
the next mount operation, which prevents the file system from
mounting. This issue is solvable by wiping the log trees with
the
btrfs-zero-log
tool, but this method is
very inconvenient, as it results in the loss of any data and
metadata that was
fsynced
before the parent
directory was
fsynced
. (Bug ID 24424719)
If a symbolic link is created and then the parent directory is
fsynced
, a system crash or power outage
results in an empty symbolic link when the file system is
remounted. (Bug ID 23748445)
If a directory or file is moved to a new parent directory, and the file system logs the new parent but does not explicitly log the old parent, when the log is replayed entries for the moved directory or file can appear in both the old and new parent directories. (Bug ID 23748405)
If a file is renamed and
fsynced
and a
system crash or power outage occurs, when the log is replayed,
the file is deleted. This issue occurs because the
last_unlink_trans
value is not captured in
the log of the inode, which leaves the log without enough
information to later replay the rename operation. (Bug ID
23725060)
Operations that trigger a quota rescan or those that disable the quota on a mounted file system cause a kernel oops message when attempting to unmount the file system. This behavior can cause the system to hang. (Bug ID 22377928)
Freeze and unfreeze operations that are performed across multiple threads on any supported file system can cause the system to hang and the kernel to panic. This problem is the result of a race condition that occurs when the unfreeze operation is triggered before it is actually frozen. The resulting unlock operation attempts a write operation on a non-existent lock resulting in the kernel panic. (Bug ID 25321899)
The man page for
mkfs.ext4
describes an
optional command line parameter,
-f
, to
specify fragment size. However, this option was removed when
support for creating
bigalloc
file systems
was added. Attempts to create an
ext4
file
system with the
mkfs.ext4
command in
conjunction with this option may result in an error notifying
the user of an invalid option. (Bug ID 25512202)
A bug for XFS that exists in the multi-block buffer logging code can cause a kernel panic at log push time. This problem is due to invalid regions being set in the buffer log format bitmap. (Bug ID 24400444)
An Oracle Linux 6 system with the
oracle-ofed-release
packages installed and
an iSER (iSCSI Extensions for RDMA) target configured fails to
log in to the iSER target as an initiator. On the Oracle Linux 6
initiator machine, the following behavior is typical:
# iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.iser-target.t1 -p 10.196.100.134 --login Logging in to [iface: default, target: iqn.iser-target.t1, portal: 10.196.100.134,3260] (multiple) iscsiadm: Could not login to [iface: default, target: iqn.iser-target.t1, portal: 10.196.100.134,3260]. iscsiadm: initiator reported error (8 - connection timed out) iscsiadm: Could not log into all portals
This is expected behavior resulting from an errata fix for CVE-2016-4564 to protect against a write from an invalid context. (Bug ID 23615903)
If the
root
partition is formatted by using
Btrfs, the system is unable to boot into RHCK. This problem
occurs because the features that are included in the version
of Btrfs provided are not supported on older kernel versions.
Note that Btrfs is included onl.y as a technology preview for
RHCK and is not fully supported on this kernel.
However, Btrfs is fully supported in production with the UEK release. Systems that boot into this kernel are unaffected by this particular issue.
When formatting file systems from the installation ISO, be
aware that formatting the
root
partition
with Btrfs makes it impossible to boot into the RHCK. Note
that
btrfs
is the default file system for
system disks when using the
boot-uek.iso
.
If you are installing from this ISO and you intend to use the
RHCK, you must change the default system disk layout in the
installer. (Bug ID 23198167)
Support for DTrace is available for UEK R4 only. To use
DTrace, you must have both the
ol6_x86_64_UEKR4
and
ol6_x86_64_UEKR4_DTrace_userspace
channels enabled for ULN.
Using kill -9 to terminate dtrace can leave breakpoints outstanding in processes that are being traced, which might kill them at some point.
The following compiler warning can be ignored for static
probe definition arguments of type
string
(which is a D type, but not a C
type):
provider_def
.h:line#
: warning: parameter names (without types) in function declaration
The Linux Containers package (
lxc
) is
available for the x86-64 architecture with UEK R3, but
not the i386 architecture.
The default location for a container's configuration has
changed from
/etc/lxc/
to
name
/container/
in
name
lxc 0.8.0
onward.
To start a container that you created with a previous update of Oracle Linux, specify the -f option to lxc-start , for example:
# lxc-start -n ol6u3 -f /etc/lxc/ol6u3/config
Convert an existing container to use the new location as follows:
Move the container's configuration directory to
/container/
.
name
# mv /etc/lxc/name
/container
Edit the
/container/
file and change the values of any
name
/config
lxc.rootfs
and
lxc.mount
parameters to refer to
/container
instead of
/etc/lxc
.
For example, the
config
file
might contain the following entries:
lxc.rootfs = /etc/lxc/example/rootfs lxc.mount.entry=/lib /etc/lxc/example/rootfs/lib none ro,bind 0 0 lxc.mount.entry=/usr/lib /etc/lxc/example/rootfs/usr/lib none ro,bind 0 0 lxc.mount.entry=/lib64 /etc/lxc/example/rootfs/lib64 none ro,bind 0 0 lxc.mount.entry=/usr/lib64 /etc/lxc/example/rootfs/usr/lib64 none ro,bind 0 0
You would change these entries to the following:

After converting the container, you do not need to specify the -f option with the lxc-start command. (Bug ID 15967411)
Attempting to create an
lxc-oracle
container on a remote file system that is mounted by using
NFSv4 fails. In addition, attempting to mount a remote
file system by using NFSv4 from within an
lxc-oracle
container also fails. The
workaround is to use NFSv3 instead. (Bug ID 16316266)
The
avahi-daemon
fails to start with
UEK R2 and messages such as the following are logged:
avahi-daemon[PID
]: SO_REUSEPORT failed: Protocol not available avahi-daemon[PID
]: Failed to create server: No suitable network protocol available
The workaround for this issue is to comment out the
disallow-other-stacks
entry in the
/etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf
file as
follows:
#disallow-other-stacks=yes
(Bug ID 19712845)
On some hardware, the console may appear to hang during the
boot process after starting
udev
. However,
the system boots properly and is accessible. A workaround for
this problem is to add
nomodeset
as a
kernel boot parameter in the
/etc/grub.conf
file. (Bug IDs 10094052, 13485328)
Oracle Linux 6 defaults to reverse path filtering in strict mode. Some Oracle products and network storage devices work more reliably with reverse path filtering in loose mode. To enable loose mode, run the following command
# sysctl net.ipv4.conf.iface
.rp_filter=2
where
iface
is the network
interface, for example,
eth1
.
The default setting for strict mode is
1
.
(Bug ID 10649976)
You might see a message similar to the following during the first reboot of an HP ProLiant server:
[Firmware Bug]: the BIOS has corrupted hw-PMU resources (MSR 186 is 43003c)
This message can be safely ignored, as the functionality and performance of the operating system and the server are not affected.
The inline data feature that allows the data for small files to be stored inside their inodes is not available in the UEK release. Also, the -O inline_data option for the mkfs.ext4 and tune2fs commands is not supported. (Bug ID 17210654)
The
xfsprogs
(3.2.0) user space tool
introduced a new superblock format (v5) that includes a
metadata checksum scheme. While this feature is supported in
UEK R4, it is not currently supported on RHCK. If an
xfs
file system is created on a system that
is running UEK R4, where cyclic redundancy checking (CRC) is
enabled,
mkfs.xfs
generates the v5
superblock automatically and the file system can no longer be
mounted on a system running RHCK. The following error is
returned:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail ..."
To check the superblock version number, run the following command:
# sudo xfs_db -r -c "sb" -c p /dev/sdb1
| grep versionnum
This command returns the hexadecimal value of
0xb4a5
for a file system formatted with a
v5 superblock that requires CRC support in the kernel.
Do not try to mount a metadata CRC-enabled XFS file system on RHCK, as it does not support this functionality. (Bug ID 25489518)
The
gcc-libraries
package has been replaced
by individual packages for
libatomic
,
libcilkrts
, and
libitmed
. (Bug ID 19829494)
Some server hardware does not support the Intel TCO watchdog driver. dmesg might display messages such as the following at boot time:
iTCO_vendor_support: vendor-support=0 iTCO_wdt: Intel TCO WatchDog Timer Driver v1.05 iTCO_wdt: failed to reset NO_REBOOT flag, reboot disabled by hardware iTCO_wdt: No card detected intel_rng: FWH not detected
To suppress this warning, disable the TCO watchdog timer
driver by adding the following line to the
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-watchdog
file:
blacklist iTCO_wdt
The Mellanox ConnectX core, Ethernet, and InfiniBand drivers are supported on the x86-64 architecture only. (Bug ID 16228063)
Both the
mlnx_en
and
ofa
packages contain
mlx4_core
. Because only
one of these packages should be installed on a single server,
attempting to install both packages on the same system results
in a package conflict error.
If you have a Mellanox Ethernet Controller, install the
mlnx_en
package. If you have a Mellanox
InfiniBand Controller, install the
ofa
package. If your system has both controllers, use the
ofa
package, as it supports both Ethernet
and InfiniBand controllers.
You can safely ignore the following error that is displayed when the Oracle-supported RDMA service starts:
Loading OpenIB kernel modules:insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/3.8.13-69.3.4.el6uek.x86_64/kernel/drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/ mlx4_ib.ko': -1 File exists
This message indicates that the
mlx4_ib
module is already loaded. (Bug ID 21410136)
If the SELinux policy packages have not been updated recently,
Cluster Ready Services (CRS) might fail to start with messages
such as the following in
/var/log/messages
:
SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/oracleasm/oracleasm-instantiate-disk from associate access on the filesystem DATA1.
The solution is to upgrade the
selinux-policy
and
selinux-policy-targeted
packages to ensure
that you are running a version no earlier than
3.7.19-195.0.1el6_4.5:
# yum update 'selinux-policy*'
After upgrading the packages, reboot the system. (Bug ID 13925445)
PVHVM guests on Oracle VM 3.0 crash during Oracle Database
installation if the value of the maximum memory
(
maxmem
) parameter that is set for the
guest is greater than the amount specified at boot time
(
memory
). To avoid this issue, ensure that
the values of the
maxmem
and
memory
parameters are the same. This issue
has been resolved in Oracle VM 3.1.1. (Bug ID 13396734, 13970935)
A panic can occur in 32-bit guests with UEK R2 on Oracle VM 3.3.1. (Bug ID 20057995)
UEK provides support for PVHVM guests on Oracle VM. The default
is to present only PV drivers when running in an HVM guest. To
run
kernel-uek
fully hardware virtualized,
including the drivers, add the parameter
xen_emul_unplug=never
to the boot
parameters in
/etc/grub.conf
, for example:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-300.2.1.el6uek ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 xen_emul_unplug=never
Adding this parameter makes the kernel also present the
emulated drivers as previously done, such as the
8139cp
network driver.
Under certain conditions, RHCK can panic if an
ext4
file system is defragmented. (Bug ID
21163148)
Note the following default
sched_yield()
settings for the UEK and RHCK kernels:
For UEK, the default setting is
kernel.sched_compat_yield=1
.
For RHCK, the default setting is
kernel.sched_compat_yield=0
.
To set the serial console in an HV guest, use following parameters in the guest:
Add the following parameters to the kernel boot line in
the
/etc/grub.conf
file:
console=tty0 console=ttyS0,57600n8
Add the following line to the
/etc/securetty
file:
ttyS0
Oracle Linux releases prior to Oracle Linux 5 supplied a
hugemem
kernel to allow a system to address
up to 64 GB of memory in 32-bit mode. The
hugemem
kernel is no longer available in
Oracle Linux 5 and later releases.
UEK supports a maximum of 16 GB of memory for 32-bit kernels on bare metal and HVM systems, and 8 GB for fully PVM systems. Note that 32-bit PVM guest operating systems must be located in the first 128 GB of physical memory on the host.
RHCK has the same limitations, except that PVM systems can have up to 16 GB of memory. The 8 GB limitation for PVM on UEK was chosen for reasons of reliability.
A 32-bit system uses the PAE (physical address extension) memory feature to map physical memory beyond 4 GB into the 32-bit address space that is available to each process. A 64-bit system can address memory beyond 4 GB without requiring an extra layer of memory abstraction.
Oracle Linux on x86-64 includes 32-bit libraries, which allow applications that are built for both 64-bit and 32-bit Linux to run on the same system. This capability provides scalability to virtually unlimited memory sizes, while retaining the ability to run 32-bit applications. Oracle recommends this configuration for any system with more than 4 GB of memory. (Bug ID 16974301)
Registering an Oracle Linux guest that is running under Virtual Box
with ULN might fail with a server communication error. The
workaround is to run the following command as the
root
user on the guest:
# echo "uuid=`uuidgen -t`" >> /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
You can then re-run the uln_register command. (Bug ID 14696776)
Following the first reboot after installing Oracle Linux 6, you are
prompted to register your system with ULN. If you did not
configure your network during the installation, the
registration process to ULN cannot succeed. To register your
system, log in as the
root
user, configure
the system's network manually, and run the
uln_register
command.
Some systems installed with Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 and configured to use the UEK R4 kernel fail to boot if the boot disk is a multipath logical unit number (LUN) on a Pure Storage FlashArray. The system boots successfully if the LUN is exposed on a single path, or if the system is installed using Oracle Linux 6 Update 8. Note that the system also boots successfully if it is configured to use RHCK.
This issue has been replicated by using a Pure Storage FlashArray FA-420 Pure Array and a QLogic QLE2562 HBA and is still currently under investigation. (Bug IDs 26732037, 27093062).
Table of Contents
This chapter describes how to upgrade your system to Oracle Linux 6 Update 10.
On i386 systems, upgrading from Oracle Linux 6 GA or a previous update to Oracle Linux 6 is supported for the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 2 and the Red Hat Compatible Kernel. The Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 is not supported on the i386 architecture.
On x86-64 systems, upgrading from a previous update to Oracle Linux 6 or from Oracle Linux 6 GA or is supported for the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2, the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 3, the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4, and the Red Hat Compatible Kernel.
Upgrading from a beta release is not supported.
In-place upgrading from a major version of Oracle Linux 5 or earlier is not supported. Although Anaconda provides an option to perform an upgrade, fresh installation is strongly recommended.
If you have an Oracle Linux 5.8 system, you can use new features in the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2 without upgrading to Oracle Linux 6 as Oracle Linux 5.8 includes the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2. You cannot use features from the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 as this kernel is not available for Oracle Linux 5.8.
You can download Oracle Linux installation media from the Oracle
Software Delivery Cloud at
http://edelivery.oracle.com/linux
.
You can also obtain Oracle Linux packages from the ULN and the Oracle Linux yum server.
You have the option of registering a system with ULN when you install Oracle Linux 6 on a system. To register with ULN after an installation, use the uln_register command.
To obtain Oracle Linux updates from ULN, you must have an Oracle Linux support subscription. For more information, see http://linux.oracle.com .
From Oracle Linux 6 Update 9 onward, ULN registration subscribes a server to
the Oracle Linux 6 latest channel and either the UEK R2 latest channel
(
ol6_i386_UEK_latest
) for i386 or the
UEK R4 channel (
ol6_x86_64_UEKR4
) for
x86-64.
If you want to install UEK R4 on a ULN-registered x86-64
system that is currently running UEK R2, manually subscribe
the system to the UEK R4 channel
(
ol6_x86_64_UEKR4
) and unsubscribe the
server from the UEK R2 latest channel
(
ol6_x86_64_UEK_latest
) before running
yum update
.
ULN also provides channels for Oracle-specific software
packages such as Oracle's
ASMlib
user-space
package and the Oracle Instant Client. To enable access to
these packages, log in to ULN and subscribe your system to the
Oracle Software channel.
Oracle provides all errata and updates for Oracle Linux through the
Oracle Linux yum server, which includes updates to the base distribution, but
does not include Oracle-specific software. You do not require
an Oracle Linux support subscription to use this service. For more
information on how to obtain updates from Oracle Linux yum server and how to
update your
yum
configuration files for the
latest Oracle Linux 6 release, see
http://yum.oracle.com
.
By default, all new installations of Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 are automatically configured to use the Oracle Linux yum server. If you subsequently register the system with ULN, the Oracle Linux yum server is automatically disabled.
The following entries in the
/etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol6.repo
file
enable you to download the latest available packages for Oracle Linux 6
and UEK R2:

On a freshly installed Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 system, the
public-yum-ol6.repo
file uses the
variables
uek
,
uekr3
and
uekr4
to enable or disable
ol6_UEK_latest
,
ol6_UEKR3_latest
and
ol6_UEKR4
. For an i386 system, the value
of
uek
is set to 1 in
/etc/yum/vars/uek
to enable
ol6_UEK_latest
and the values of
uekr3
and
uekr4
are
set to 0 in
/etc/yum/vars/uekr3
and
/etc/yum/vars/uekr4
to disable
ol6_UEKR3_latest
and
ol6_UEKR4
. For an x86-64 system, the

repository entries in
public-yum-ol6.repo
are disabled and the values of
uek
,
uek3
and
uekr4
are set
to
0
.

The Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 Media Pack contains the following ISO images:
Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 for x86 (32 bit) or for x86_64 (64 bit)
This ISO image contains everything needed to boot a system and install Oracle Linux.
Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 UEK Boot ISO image for x86 (32 bit) or for x86_64 (64 bit)
This is the boot ISO image for the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel.
Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 Boot ISO image for x86 (32 bit) or for x86_64 (64 bit)
This is the boot ISO image for the Red Hat Compatible Kernel.
Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 Source DVD 1 and 2
These ISO images contain the source code for the software packages in the release.
The full installation media for Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 contains three distinct repository sources for the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2, the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4, and the Red Hat Compatible Kernel.
To configure
yum
to use both the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2
and the Red Hat Compatible Kernel repositories from the full
installation ISO image, create the file
/etc/yum.repos.d/Media.repo
containing
entries similar to the following:
[ol6_base_media] name=Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 Base Media baseurl=file:///media/ISOimage
/Server gpgkey=file:///media/ISOimage
/RPM-GPG-KEY gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 [ol6_uek_media] name=Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 UEK Media baseurl=file:///media/ISOimage
/UEK2 gpgkey=file:///media/ISOimage
/RPM-GPG-KEY gpgcheck=1 enabled=1
To configure
yum
to use both the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4
(
x86-64 systems only
) and the
Red Hat Compatible Kernel repositories from the full
installation ISO image, create the file
/etc/yum.repos.d/Media.repo
containing
entries similar to the following:
[ol6_base_media] name=Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 Base Media baseurl=file:///media/ISOimage
/Server gpgkey=file:///media/ISOimage
/RPM-GPG-KEY gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 [ol6_uekr4_media] name=Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 UEK Media baseurl=file:///media/ISOimage
/UEK4 gpgkey=file:///media/ISOimage
/RPM-GPG-KEY gpgcheck=1 enabled=1
Adjust the value of the
baseurl
and
gpgkey
parameters to match the mount point
of the ISO image on your system. If you do not require one of
the repositories, set the value of the corresponding
enabled
parameter to 0.
Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 ships with the latest Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2 for i386 and Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 for x86-64.
If you upgrade your system from the installation media, the following five upgrade scenarios are possible:
If UEK R2 or UEK R4 is not currently installed on the system, only the latest Red Hat Compatible Kernel is installed. The UEK R2 or UEK R4 kernel is not installed.
If UEK R2 is currently installed on an i386 system, the latest version of the UEK R2 kernel is installed.
If UEK R2 is currently installed on an x86-64 system and you upgrade using the Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 installation media for x86-64, which do not contain a UEK R2 repository, the latest version of UEK R2 is not installed.
If UEK R3 is currently installed on an x86-64 system, and you upgrade using the Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 installation media for x86-64, which do not contain a UEK R3 repository, the latest version of UEK R3 is not installed, the system continues to boot into the existing UEK R3 release.
If UEK R4 is currently installed on an x86-64 system, the latest version of the UEK R4 kernel is installed.
The
yum
command uses whatever repositories
you have configured on your system to upgrade the system. You
can find the latest UEK R2 packages in the
ol6_i386_UEK_latest
and
ol6_x86_64_UEK_latest
repositories, the
latest UEK R3 packages in the
ol6_UEKR3_latest
repository, and the latest
UEK R4 packages in the
ol6_UEKR4
repository.
If you want to install the latest UEK R2 kernel on an i386 or
x86-64 system, subscribe your system to the
ol6_i386_UEK_latest
or
ol6_x86_64_UEK_latest
channel on ULN, or
configure the repository in the
/etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol6.repo
file as
shown here:
[ol6_UEK_latest] name=Latest Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel for Oracle Linux $releasever ($basearch) baseurl=http://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/UEK/latest/$basearch/ gpgkey=http://yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6 gpgcheck=1 enabled=1
If you want to update an x86-64 system to use the latest UEK R3
kernel, subscribe your system to the
ol6_x86_64_UEKR3_latest
channel on ULN, or
configure the repositories in the
/etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol6.repo
file as
shown here:
[ol6_UEKR3_latest] name=Latest Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 3 for Oracle Linux $releasever ($basearch) baseurl=http://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/UEKR3/latest/$basearch/ gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle gpgcheck=1 enabled=1
If you want to update an x86-64 system to use the latest UEK R4
kernel, subscribe your system to the
ol6_x86_64_UEKR4
channel on ULN, or configure
the repositories in the
/etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol6.repo
file as
shown here:
[ol6_UEKR4] name=Latest Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 for Oracle Linux $releasever ($basearch) baseurl=http://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/UEKR4/$basearch/ gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle gpgcheck=1 enabled=1
When you have set up the ULN channels, yum repositories, or installation media repositories that the yum command should use, you can update all of the installed packages by running the following command:
# yum update
This command upgrades your system to Oracle Linux 6 Update 10.
Use the following command to update a specific package:
# yum update package
For example, to update the Z-shell package
(
zsh
), you would type:
# yum update zsh
For more information, see the
yum(8)
man
page.
Table of Contents
The following information describes additional steps specific to Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 that may be required to install or upgrade the Oracle-supported OFED packages for UEK R4. This chapter also describes steps to upgrade an Oracle Linux system where the Oracle-supported OFED packages for UEK R4 are already installed.
For instructions on installing or upgrading OFED packages with UEK R4, see the most current version of the release notes for UEK R4 at: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E93554_01/ .
For example, if you are installing UEK R4U7, see the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 7 Release Notes .
The following procedures describe how to upgrade an Oracle Linux 6 system to Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 on a system where the Oracle-supported OFED packages for UEK R4 are already present.
The following procedure describes how to use ULN to perform an upgrade.
This procedure assumes that you have registered your system with ULN. See Registering an Oracle Linux 6 or Oracle Linux 7 System .
Subscribe the system to the
ol6_x86_64_UEKR4_OFED
,
ol6_x86_64_UEKR4
, and
ol6_x86_64_latest
channels on ULN. By
default, the
ol6_x86_64_UEKR4
and
ol6_x86_64_latest
channels are enabled
when you register an Oracle Linux 6 system with ULN.
Edit the
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf
file and add the following lines to the end of the file:
[ol7_x86_64_UEKR4_OFED] priority=20
Install the
yum-plugin-priorities
package from the
ol7_x86_64_latest
channel:
# yum install yum-plugin-priorities
Apply Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 to the system:
# yum update
Any Oracle-supported OFED packages for UEK R4 that were
already present are updated from the
ol6_x86_64_UEKR4_OFED
channel. If you
do not have any of the OFED packages installed, you can
proceed to install the packages as described in the
installation instructions provided in the Release Notes
for the most current version of UEK R4 at
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E93554_01/
.
For example, if installing for UEK R4U7, refer to Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 7 Release Notes .
The following procedure describes how to perform an upgrade by using the Oracle Linux yum server.
If you updated the server from Oracle Linux 5 or the initial
release of Oracle Linux 6, download the latest version of the
yum
repository file that includes an
entry for the
ol6_UEKR4_OFED
repository
as follows:
Move the existing
yum
repository
file to a backup file, for example:
# mv /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol6.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol6.repo.bck
Download the latest Oracle Linux 6
yum
repository file the Oracle Linux yum server, for example:
# wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol6.repo http://yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo
Edit the downloaded yum repository file and enable the
ol6_UEKR4_OFED
repository. By default,
ol6_latest
and

are already enabled, but you
should enable these channels as well if they are not
already enabled.
Install the
yum-plugin-priorities
package from the
ol6_latest
repository:
# yum install yum-plugin-priorities
To apply Oracle Linux 6 Update 10 to the system:
# yum update
Any Oracle-supported OFED packages for UEK R4 that were
already present are updated from the
ol6_UEKR4_OFED
repository on the Oracle Linux yum server.
If you do not have any of the OFED packages installed, you
can proceed to install the packages as described in the
installation instructions that are provided in the release
notes for the most current version of UEK R4 at
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E93554_01/
.
For example, if you are installing UEK R4U7, see the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 7 Release Notes .
