Downloading and Installing the Host Drivers

Language:

These topics describe how to download and install the host drivers for UEK and RHCK.

Oracle virtual networking supports both UEK and RHCK that are distributed with Oracle Enterprise Linux ISO. The following table describes the installation and configuration differences between the two kernels.

UEK	RHCK
Oracle virtual networking host drivers are embedded with Oracle Linux 7.0 OS.	Oracle virtual networking host drivers are unbundled and not embedded into Oracle Linux 7.0 OS.
Host drivers are not stand-alone RPMs that you need to install.	Host drivers are a separate, stand-alone package (for example, an individual RPM) that you must install after the OS is installed.
Embedded host drivers must be activated. You must install `userspace_RPM` to activate the host drivers.	After the host driver package is installed, you must reboot the host to load the host driver package into memory.
