3.1.4 Oracle Linux 8 Support

Oracle Exadata System Software 23.1.0 uses Oracle Linux 8 with the UEK6 kernel as the server operating system for all storage servers, bare-metal database servers, KVM hosts, KVM guests, and Oracle VM (OVM) guests (DomU).

Rolling upgrade is supported from Oracle Linux 7 to Oracle Linux 8.

OVM management domains (Dom0) do not require Oracle Linux 8 and remain on Oracle Linux 7 with UEK5.
