Registering an Oracle Linux System with ULN

8.9.2.1.2 Registering an Oracle Linux System with ULN

After you have configured the access to the YUM repository, you must register your Oracle Linux database servers with ULN.

WARNING:

Do not register your storage servers with ULN or the public yum server.

Run uln_register to register your system with ULN.
```
# uln_register
```
If you do not have a ULN account, you can register at https://linux.oracle.com. Registering for ULN requires a valid customer support identifier (CSI) for Oracle Linux or Oracle VM support.
When you register your system, if a proxy server is required, then use the ––proxy option to specify the HTTP proxy to use.
```
# uln_register --proxy=proxy_hostname:port_number
```
If your proxy requires authentication, then use the additional options --proxyUser and --proxyPassword to specify the user name and password.
```
# uln_register --proxy=proxy_hostname:port_number 
--proxyUser=username --proxyPassword=password
```
When prompted, enter your ULN user name, password, and CSI.

On the Create Profile — Hardware page, enter the required information.
1. Enter a name for the system that will allow you to identify it on ULN.
2. Choose whether to upload hardware and software profile data that allows ULN to select the appropriate packages for your system.
