If you are an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure customer, you can use Ksplice on any of the Oracle Linux systems that are hosted in your cloud environment. You do not need to register through ULN to use Ksplice. Any system that runs inside of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure has automatic access to the Ksplice servers and all of the Ksplice updates.
To install Ksplice Uptrack on a system running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure:
Log in as the
root
user on the system.If you use an Internet proxy, configure the HTTP and HTTPS settings for the proxy in the shell.
For the sh, ksh, or bash shells, use commands such as the following:
#
http_proxy=http://
#proxy_URL
:http_port
https_proxy=http://
#proxy_URL
:https_port
export http_proxy https_proxy
For the csh shell, use commands such as the following:
#
