You can obtain and install the UEK and associated firmware packages in the following ways:
If you have a valid Oracle Linux Support subscription, you can obtain the latest Oracle Linux and UEK2 packages from the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) at http://linux.oracle.com. After you have logged in to ULN and registered your system, you can subscribe the system to the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2 channel for the appropriate Oracle Linux release and machine architecture. This channel will provide the latest Oracle Linux packages and updates for your system as they become available.
For more information about ULN, see Chapter 3, The Unbreakable Linux Network
You can obtain Oracle Linux and UEK packages from the public yum package repository.
To enable access, download the appropriate configuration file, such as http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo to the
/etc/yum.repos.d directory, and edit the file to enable the
repositories from which you want to receive updates, such as
ol6_UEK_base for the base Oracle Linux 6 Unbreakable Enterprise
Kernel repository, or ol6_UEK_latest for UEK bug fixes, errata and
quarterly driver updates. You can use the yum command to download and
install the packages.
For more information about yum, see Chapter 2, Yum
To list the installed kernel packages and also the kernel packages that are available to be installed from the repositories that you have enabled, use the following yum command:
# yum list kernel*
