Register and Update Your Oracle Linux OS

Before You Begin

The Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) is a comprehensive resource for Oracle Linux support subscribers, offering access to Linux software patches, updates and fixes,and information on updates and support policies.

If you are a licensed Oracle customer with an active Oracle Linux support subscription, use your Oracle Linux CSI (customer support identifier) number to register your server on ULN.

1. If you don't already have one, create your ULN account. Use your email address and CSI and create a password.

   https://linux.oracle.com/register

   Once your account is configured, use your email address and password to login to ULN.

2. Once you have an account, run the command below on the server as the root user in a terminal window or on the command line:

   uln_register

   The uln_register wizard collects machine information and uploads it to Oracle.

   Executing the above command chooses the default channel of ol6_<arch>_latest.

   The _latest channels provide RPMs for all the packages in the distribution, including those errata also provided in the _patch channels. The version of any RPM downloadable on the _latest channels is always the most recent available. You can subscribe to other channels using the web interface, after you have registered.
