Subscribing to ULN Channels

ULN channel 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 be subscribed to:

  • ol7_aarch64_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 ULN channels:

  • ol7_x86_64_latest (latest user space packages for Oracle Linux 7)

  • ol7_x86_64_UEKR5 (kernel-uek*, dtrace-utils*,ndctl-*, btrfs-progs-* and xfsprogs-*)

The following procedure assumes that you have already registered your system with ULN.

To subscribe your system to a channel on ULN:

  1. Log in to https://linux.oracle.com with your ULN user name and password.

  2. On the Systems tab, click the link named for the system in the list of registered machines.

  3. On the System Details page, click Manage Subscriptions.

  4. On the System Summary page, select each required channel from the list of available channels and click the right arrow to move the channel to the list of subscribed channels.

    Subscribe the system to the appropriate channels for your platform architecture.

  5. Click Save Subscriptions.
