Subscribe to ULN Channels

If a system is subscribed to ULN and you want to use either of the Oracle KVM Stacks, the ol8_<arch>_kvm_appstream ULN channel must be enabled before installing the chosen virtualization application stream module.

Note:

A ULN channel subscription isn't required when installing the Default KVM Stack. The Default KVM Stack is available as an application stream module in the standard ULN channels on an Oracle Linux 8 system.

What Do You Need?

• A registered ULN Oracle Linux 8 server. For details on how to register an Oracle server with ULN, see Oracle Linux: Managing Software on Oracle Linux.
• Ensure that the system meets the virtualization package requirements for the KVM application stream module that you're installing. See KVM Repositories and Channels: Yum and ULN.
• Ensure that either UEK R6 or UEK R7 is installed and running on the system.
• ULN username and password.
