Enabling Access to Oracle Linux Yum Server Repositories
Packages for UEK R6 and associated user space applications are available on the Oracle Linux yum server at https://yum.oracle.com/.
Oracle Linux 7
All kernel image and associated user space packages for Oracle Linux 7
on the x86_64 and aarch64 platforms are available in the
ol7_UEKR6 repository.
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_UEKR6 repositories, run the following:
sudo yum-config-manager --enable ol7_latest ol7_UEKR6
Note:
You can only use yum-config-manager to
enable or disable repositories where you already have a
configuration file for the specified repository. Repository
configurations are typically stored in
/etc/yum.repos.d. The repository
configurations required to install UEK on Oracle Linux 7 are
included in the oraclelinux-release-el7
package. You may need to update this package to the latest
version to obtain the correct yum repository configuration.
See Oracle Linux 7: Administrator's Guide for more information.
