8.9.2.1.1 Configuring YUM to Connect to the Oracle Public Repository
The Oracle Linux YUM server offers a free and convenient way to install the latest Oracle Linux packages. Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) enables you to update patches and errata for a specific version.
This procedure is only supported for Oracle Exadata on-premise database servers running Oracle Linux. It is not supported for storage servers or Oracle VM environments, either management domains (dom0) or user domains (domU).
Oracle Linux Yum Server is the Public Repository. For more information on how to obtain updates from the Oracle Linux Yum Server, see http://yum.oracle.com. For more information about ULN, see http://linux.oracle.com.
WARNING:
If you are not using the latest release of Oracle Linux, you will need to edit the file/etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol6.repo
and enable the correct repository to match the system version. Contact Oracle Support Services and refer to My Oracle Support Doc ID 2241729.1.
