Enabling Access to Oracle Linux Yum Server Repositories
Packages are also available on the Oracle Linux yum server repository at https://yum.oracle.com/.
Yum repository requirements differ depending on the platform architecture that you are using.
For Oracle Linux 7 on the 64-bit Arm (aarch64) platform, no RHCK is available and UEK R5 is used by default. Your system must have the following repository enabled:
-
ol7_latest(latest user space packages for Oracle Linux 7)
For Oracle Linux 7 on the x86 platform, the kernel image and user space packages are available on the following repositories:
-
ol7_latest(latest user space packages for Oracle Linux 7 other than the RDMA tool packages) -
ol7_UEKR5(kernel-uek*,dtrace-utils*,ndctl-*,btrfs-progs-*andxfsprogs-*)
To enable access to the Oracle Linux 7 repositories on the Oracle Linux yum server, use
yum-config-manager. For example, to enable
access to the ol7_latest and
ol7_UEKR5 repositories, run the following
command:
# yum-config-manager --enable ol7_latest,ol7_UEKR5
Note:
You can only use yum-config-manager to
enable or disable repositories after you already have a
configuration file for the specified repository. Repository
configurations are typically stored in
/etc/yum.repos.d. The repository
configurations that are required to install UEK on Oracle Linux 7 are
included in the oraclelinux-release-el7
package.
