The software described in this documentation is either in Extended Support or Sustaining Support. See https://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/enterprise-linux-support-policies-069172.pdf for more information.
Oracle recommends that you upgrade the software described by this documentation as soon as possible.
You have the option of registering a system with ULN when you install Oracle Linux 6 on a system. To register with ULN after installation, use the uln_register command.
To obtain Oracle Linux updates from ULN, you must have an Oracle Linux support subscription. For more information about ULN, see https://linux.oracle.com.
During ULN registration, your server is automatically registered with the latest channels for the base repository, the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2, and Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 3 (x86-64 only).
If you upgrade an x86-64 system and want to install the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 3, you must manually subscribe the system to the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 3 latest channel and unsubscribe the server from the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2 latest channel before running yum update.
ULN also provides channels for Oracle-specific software
packages such as Oracle's ASMlib user-space
package and the Oracle Instant Client. To enable access to
these packages, log in to ULN and subscribe your system to the
Oracle Software channel.
