Enable Yum Repositories

If the system isn't subscribed to ULN and you want to use the Oracle KVM Stack, the ol9_kvm_utils yum repository must be enabled before installing the virtualization packages.

Note:

The Default KVM Stack is available in the core system repositories and can be installed without enabling any other repositories. If the Oracle KVM Stack is already installed and you intend to switch KVM stacks, see Switch KVM Stacks for more details.

What Do You Need?

• Ensure that the system meets the virtualization package requirements, see KVM Host: System Requirements and KVM Repositories and Channels: Yum and ULN.
• Ensure that the required version of Oracle Linux 9 is installed to use the KVM features provided by the yum repository. For more details about the virtualization package requirements, see KVM Virtualization Packages: Recommended.
• Ensure that UEK R7 is installed and running on the system.
• Administrator privileges.

Steps

1. Install or update the release package:

   sudo dnf install -y oraclelinux-release-el9

2. Enable the Oracle Linux 9 yum repositories, by running the dnf config-manager command:

   sudo dnf config-manager --enable ol9_kvm_utils

3. Proceed to the topic for installing the virtualization packages (Install Virtualization Packages).
