How to Update the OEL Operating System
You must already have OEL installed on your server.
Choose a method for updating your Oracle Enterprise Linux operating system:
■
For Oracle Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) installations, create local yum repositories and
configure yum and up2date to install update packages from them.
See
technology/tech/linux/htdocs/yum-repository-setup.html
■
For OEL installations without Unbreakable Linux Network support, use the Oracle Public
yum server and a yum client to install updates.
See
Note –
This yum server is offered without support of any kind. If you require errata, security
patches and other updates, you should use Oracle Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN),
available from the
or your sales representative.

How to Update the OEL Drivers
Check the Tools and Drivers CD shipped with your server for the latest drivers for installed
components.
The Sun Fire X2270 M2 Server Tools & Drivers CD is provided in the Documentation and
Media Kit, which is an option you can order. If necessary, you can also download an ISO image
of the Tools & Drivers CD at:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/SystemsComm/Sun+Fire+X2270+M2+Server
Ensure that the device driver media is available at boot.
■
For a distribution CD/DVD, insert the Tools & Drivers CD into the local or remote
CD/DVD-ROM drive.
■
For an ISO image, in the
Device
menu of the Sun ILOM Remote Console, select the
CD-ROM
image to specify the location of the customer-provided CD image.
Change to the mounted USB CD/DVD directory by typing the following command:
#
cd
<
mount_point
>
/drivers/linux/
Look for drivers supported for your operating system and view the readme file for instructions
on performing the update.
Reboot the server after the update for the changes to take effect.
