OCI: How To Add Ksplice Key To An Oracle Linux Instance

edited Mar 5, 2024 5:28AM in Linux

Applies to

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure - Version N/A and later

Linux x86-64


Goal 

This document describes how to add the key for Ksplice on an OCI Oracle Linux instance.

This is necessary, for example, for instance created from Oracle-Linux-9.1-Minimal-*images.


Solution

To setup the Ksplice on an Oracle Linux instance, install Ksplice.

Example for Oracle Linux 9, which does not use OSMS: 

$ sudo dnf install ksplice-release-el9
$ sudo dnf install ksplice-tools

(Use ksplice-release-el8 for Oracle Linux 8)

Install oci-linux-config and run the script to configure the Ksplice key. 

$ sudo dnf install oci-linux-config
$ sudo /usr/lib/oci-linux-config/misc_updates.sh
