Upgrading Your System

To upgrade your system to Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 5:

  1. After enabling access to the appropriate ULN channels or repositories on the Oracle Linux yum server, run the following command, which upgrades the system to UEK R5: 

    # yum update

  2. After upgrading the system, reboot it, selecting the UEK R5 kernel (version 4.14.35) if it is not the default boot kernel.

If you have questions regarding configuring or using the yum command to install updates, refer to Oracle Linux: Unbreakable Linux Network User's Guide for Oracle Linux 6 and Oracle Linux 7.

The kernel's source code is available through a public git source code repository at https://github.com/oracle/linux-uek.
