Subscribe to ULN Channels
WARNING:
Oracle Linux 7 is now in Extended Support. See Oracle Linux Extended Support and Oracle Open Source Support Policies for more information.
Migrate applications and data to Oracle Linux 8 or Oracle Linux 9 as soon as possible.
The Default KVM Stack is available in the standard ULN channels on an Oracle Linux 7 system. To use the Oracle KVM Stack, the appropriate ol7_<arch>_kvm_utils ULN channel must be enabled before installing the virtualization packages.
If a system is subscribed to ULN and you want to install the Oracle KVM Stack, you must subscribe the system to the appropriate ULN channel before installing the virtualization packages.
Note:
A ULN channel subscription isn't required when installing the Default KVM Stack. What Do You Need?
