Migrate applications and data to Oracle Linux 8, Oracle Linux 9, or Oracle Linux 10, as soon as possible.

  1. Enable the ol7_UEKR6 yum repository.

    For example, if you have yum-utils installed, run: 

    sudo yum-config-manager --enable ol7_UEKR6

Verify the DTrace Installation

Check that DTrace is installed to the correct location and verify the DTrace version.

  1. Confirm DTrace is installed into /usr/sbin/dtrace.
    ls -lah /usr/sbin/dtrace
  2. Display the DTrace version number.
    dtrace -V

    The output looks similar to:
