Oracle Linux Post Installation Tasks

After completing the Oracle Linux installation, you should review the following post installation tasks and, if necessary, perform the tasks that are applicable to your system.

Configure Support for TPM

If you intend to use the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) feature set that is provided in Oracle Linux, you must configure your server to support this feature. For instructions, see the service manual for the server:


Note - TPM enables you to administer the TPM security hardware in your server. For additional information about implementing this feature, refer to the TPM documentation available for Oracle Linux.


Register Oracle Linux and Activate Automatic Updates

After installing Oracle Linux, you should register your system and activate your subscription with Oracle to receive automatic updates to the software. For more details, see Oracle Linux Support at:
