OCI: Upgrade Oracle Linux 8 to Oracle Linux 9 Using Leapp

edited Oct 23, 2024 2:04PM in Linux

Applies to:  

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

OS Management Hub (OSMH)

Linux x86-64 


Goal 

This document describes how an OCI Instance can be upgraded from Oracle Linux 8 to Oracle Linux 9 using Leapp 

Note: Currently Instances managed with the Oracle OS Management Hub (OSMH) are NOT supported by Leapp. See: Upgrading Oracle Linux 8 Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Instances

Solution 

The Leapp utility is a framework for updating and upgrading operating systems as well as applications. The utility's component packages enable the creation of different workflows into profiles for updating software. 

The Leapp utility can be used to upgrade Linux instances on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure that are based on the Oracle Linux 8 image. The Leapp utility also supports both the x86_64 and Arm (aarch64) platforms when upgrading Oracle Linux 8 instances on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure See Supported Images for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure :
