You can install Oracle Linux 7 on
x86-64
systems with up
to 2048 logical CPUs and 64 TB of memory. The theoretical upper
limit is 5120 logical CPUs and 64 TB of memory, but Oracle has not
tested this configuration. A minimum of 2 logical CPUs and 1 GB of
memory per logical CPU is recommended. Although the minimum disk
space required for installation is 1GB, a minimum of 5 GB is
recommended.
The following table describes the maximum file size and maximum
file system size for the
btrfs
,
ext4
, and XFS file systems. File system
limitations are affected by kernel versions and features, and by
the architecture of the system on which Oracle Linux is installed. The
values depicted here are estimates based on the known variables
that might affect the maximum theoretical value that can be
achieved. The theoretical values might be higher than those
depicted here, and the actual achievable values might be lower
than the values shown, depending on the hardware and the kernel
version that is used.

The limits for the ext4 file system that are described here are higher than recommended and might prove unstable. If you plan to work with systems where you are intend to work towards using higher file system sizes or file sizes, it is recommended that you use either the btrfs or XFS file system.
The maximum supported size for a bootable logical unit number (LUN) is 50 TB. GPT and UEFI support are required for LUNs that are larger than 2 TB.
The maximum size of the address space that is available to each process is 128 TB.
Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 ships with the following kernel packages:
kernel-3.10.0-1062.el7
Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK).
kernel-uek-4.14.35-1902.3.2.el7
Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 5 (UEK R5), which is the default kernel.
The Oracle Linux release is tested as a bundle, as shipped on the installation media image. When installed from the installation media image, the minimum kernel version supported is the one that is included in the image. Downgrading kernel packages is not supported, unless recommended by Oracle Support.
Note that previous releases of UEK, such as UEK R4, are not included on the installation media image but can be installed from the Oracle Linux yum server or from the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN).
The kernel source code for the shipped kernel is available after the initial release through a public git source code repository at https://github.com/oracle/linux-uek .
Table of Contents
The following features and changes are included in Oracle Linux 7 Update 7.
For details of the new features and changes in the initial release of Oracle Linux 7, see the Oracle Linux Release Notes for Oracle Linux 7 .
The following installation and upgrade features, bug fixes, and enhancements are included in this update:
Before installing Oracle Linux 7 Update 7, review the following important information:
Any system that is installed by using any Oracle Linux 7 ISO that is
subsequently registered with the Unbreakable Linux Network
(ULN), is automatically subscribed to the
ol7_x86_64_latest
and
ol7_x86_64_UEKR5
channels and are
configured to download the latest Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 5 (UEK R5) release
on the next system update. When you run
yum
update
after registering with ULN initially, the
system is upgraded to the Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 release and the default
kernel is automatically changed to UEK R5. If you prefer to
continue to use an alternate kernel, such as UEK R4, you
must manually change the subscriptions for the system in ULN
before performing the system update.
Systems that are not registered with ULN retain any existing
yum configuration and continue to use the kernel that is
installed with Oracle Linux 7 Update 7. If you are not registered with ULN
and want to upgrade to use UEK R5, you must enable the
ol7_UEKR5
repository in your yum
configuration.
The Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 graphical installation program has been enhanced to detect whether Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) is enabled on a system. SMT enables multiple execution threads to be executed on a single physical CPU core, which can improve performance. Note that if SMT is enabled, a message is displayed at the bottom of the Installation Summary screen. SMT is only possible where the CPU is SMT-capable.
Kernel options are available to set whether or not SMT should
be used on a system. By default, the
mitigations=auto
kernel parameter is set,
which mitigates against CPU vulnerabilities, but leaves SMT
enabled even if it is vulnerable. If you need to disable SMT
if a vulnerability is detected, you should boot the system
with the kernel option set to
mitigations=auto,nosmt
.
Image Builder, previously available as a Technology Preview
only, is now included in Oracle Linux 7 Update 7. Image Builder version 19.7.33
is provided by the
lorax-composer
package and
is available in the Extras channel. This version of Image
Builder enables you to build cloud images for additional cloud
vendors, such as Amazon Web Services, VMware vSphere, and
OpenStack.
You can access Image Builder by using the composer-cli command.
This version of Image Builder includes other notable changes and provides the following additional capabilities:
Setting a host name and creating users.
Setting boot loader parameters such as disabling
Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) with the
nosmt=force
option. Note that this feature in
only available when using the
composer-cli
command-line tool.
Editing external repositories ("sources") by using the web console user interface.
The following developer tools features and enhancements are included in this update.
gcc-libraries
packages updated to version 8.3.1.
This version of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)
introduces several bug fixes and enhancements over the
previous GCC version.
linuxptp
packages updated to version 2.0.
This version of the
linuxptp
compiler
tool introduces several bug fixes and enhancements over
the previous version.
Python version 3.6 available.
This update includes
python3
packages,
which provide the Python 3.6 interpreter and the
pip
and
setuptools
tools. Note that previously these packages were only
available as a part of software collections.
Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 includes support for the NVMe/FC driver on the QLogic qla2xxxx adapter.
The following file systems features, bug fixes, and enhancements are included in this update.
The following changes are specific to the Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK). For more information, refer to latest versions of the release notes for Oracle Linux Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 5 in the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Documentation library.
IMA and EVM features available on all architectures. In this update, the Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA) and Extended Verification Module (EVM) features are available on all architectures. The IMA and EVM features are used to monitor files for accidental or malicious altering. In Oracle Linux 7 Update 6, these features were only available on the AMD64 and Intel 64 architectures.
PMTU discovery and route redirection is now supported with VXLAN and GENEVE tunnels. This enhancement adds support for Path MTU (PMTU) discovery and route redirection for Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) and Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (GENEVE) tunnels. The kernel can now handle Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) error messages such as "Destination Unreachable" and "Redirect Message", as well as ICMPv6 error messages such as "Packet Too Big" and "Destination Unreachable" for VXLAN and GENEVE tunnels, which is done by adjusting the PMTU and modifying the forwarding information.
Spectre V2 mitigation default has changed form IBRS to Retpoline for new Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 installations. For new Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 installations, the default mitigation for the Spectre V2 vulnerability (CVE-2017-5715) for systems with the 6th Generation Intel Core Processors and close derivatives has changed from the Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation (IBRS) to Retpoline. This implementation is a result of Intel’s recommendations to align with the defaults that are used in the Linux community and also to restore lost performance. Note that using Retpoline in certain situations might not fully mitigate Spectre V2.
The
makedumpfile
utility, which is used to
produce a compressed dump file from VMCORE dump data, has been
updated in the
kexec-tools
package. The
utility now uses a dynamically allocated buffer instead of a
fixed size buffer. This change resolves several issues that can
occur when using the tool and ensures that memory consumption is
limited to just the amount that is required.
MySQL Community packages are not included on the provided ISO in this release. This change ensures that the ISO size is appropriate for use on typical DVD-ROM media. The MySQL Community packages continue to be available on the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) and the Oracle Linux yum server.
You can install MySQL Community packages directly from ULN or from the Oracle Linux yum server by enabling the appropriate channel or repository.
If you are using the Oracle Linux yum server you can install the
mysql-release-el7
package from
_latest
repository to enable the MySQL
Community yum repositories. The latest MySQL Community release
is enabled by default, but you can enable alternate channels,
using
yum-config-manager
, for example:
# yum-config-manager --enable ol7_MySQL57
The following networking features, bug fixes, and enhancements are included in this update:
NetworkManager support for VLAN filtering on bridge interfaces.
This enhancement enables you to configure virtual LAN
(VLAN) filtering on bridge interfaces in the corresponding
NetworkManager
connection profiles, as
well as define VLANs directly on bridge ports.
NetworkManager support for configuring policy routing rules.
This enhancement enables you to configure rules as part of
a connection profile,which means that
NetworkManager
now adds the rules when
the profile is activated and removes the rules when the
profile is deactivated. Previously, you would have to set
up policy routing rules outside of
NetworkManager
by using the dispatcher
script provided in the
NetworkManager-dispatcher-routing-rules
package.
The following security features, bug fixes, and enhancements are included in this update:
Network Security Services (NSS) package updates. This update introduces several NSS changes, including several bug fixes and security enhancements over the previous NSS version.
Notably, the NSS code and Certificate Authority (CA) list now meet the recommendations that are published with the latest Mozilla Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR). The updated CA list improves compatibility with the certificates that are used in the Internet Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
SCAP Security Guide support for Universal Base Image containers and
images.
The security policies in the SCAP Security Guide been
enhanced in Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 to support Universal Base Image (UBI)
containers and UBI images, including
ubi-minimal
images. This enhancement
enables configuration compliance scanning of UBI
containers and images by using the
atomic
scan
command. UBI containers and images can now
be scanned against any profile that is shipped in the SCAP
Security Guide, with only those rules that are relevant to
the secure configuration of UBI being evaluated. Any rules
that are inapplicable to UBI images and containers are
automatically skipped.
scap-security-guide packages updated to version 0.1.43.
The
scap-security-guide
packages are
updated to version 0.1.43 in this update. This version of
the
scap-security-guide
packages
provide several bug fixes and enhancements over the
previous version, including a change to the minimum
supported Ansible version, which is now 2.5, and the
addition of the Protection Profile for Virtualization
(VPP) version 1.0.
shadow-utils packages updated to version 4.6.
The
shadow-utils
packages have been
updated to version 4.6 in this update. This version of the
shadow-utils
packages provide several
bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version,
including the new
newuidmap
and
newgidmap
commands for manipulating
name space mapping for UID and GID.
tangd_port_t SElinux type added.
Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 includes the
tangd_port_t
SELinux type, which enables the
tangd
service to run as confined while in SELinux enforcing
mode. The change simplifies the configuration of a Tang
server to listen on a user-defined port, while preserving
the security level that SELinux provides when in enforcing
mode.
The following server and services features, bug fixes, and enhancements are included in this update:
As of this update, the
tuned
packages are
updated to version 2.11. This version of Tuned provides
several bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version,
including the following: added support for the boot loader
specification, an updated
virtuaal-host
profile, the additional of a range feature for CPU exclusion,
and other important improvements.
As of this update, the
chrony
packages are
updated to version 3.4. This version of Chrony provides
several bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version,
including the following: hardware time-standing improvements,
extended polling interval ranges, the addition of the burst
and filter options to NTP sources, and other important
improvements.
Features that are currently under technology preview when using UEK R5 are described in the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 5 Update 2 Release Notes
For RHCK, the following features are currently under technology preview:
Systemd: Importd features for container image imports and exports.
File Systems:
Block and object storage layouts for parallel NFS (pNFS).
DAX (Direct Access) for direct persistent memory mapping from an application. This feature is under technical preview for the ext4 and XFS file systems.
OverlayFS remains in technical preview.
Kernel:
Heterogeneous memory management (HMM).
No-IOMMU mode virtual I/O feature.
Networking:
Cisco VIC InfiniBand kernel driver, which provides similar functionality to RDMA on proprietary Cisco architectures.
Single-Root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) in the
qlcnic
driver.
Support for a Cisco proprietary User Space Network
Interface Controller in UCM servers provided in the
libusnic_verbs
driver.
Trusted Network Connect support.
Storage:
Multi-queue I/O scheduling for SCSI
(
scsi-mq
). This functionality is
disabled by default.
Plug-in for the
libStorageMgmt
API
used for storage array management. The
libStorageMgmt
API is now fully
supported, but the plug-in is under technology preview.
Oracle Linux maintains user-space compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which is independent of the kernel version that underlies the operating system. Existing applications in user space will continue to run unmodified on the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 5 (UEK R5) and no re-certifications are needed for RHEL certified applications.
To minimize impact on interoperability during releases, the Oracle Linux team works closely with third-party vendors whose hardware and software have dependencies on kernel modules. The kernel ABI for UEK R5 will remain unchanged in all subsequent updates to the initial release. UEK R5 contains changes to the kernel ABI relative to UEK R4 that require recompilation of third-party kernel modules on the system. Before installing UEK R5, verify its support status with your application vendor.
Table of Contents
This chapter describes issues that are fixed in Oracle Linux 7 Update 7.
Note that additional issues specific to the kernel that you are using might also be resolved. If you are using the default UEK R5, see the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 5 Release Notes . If you are using an alternate UEK release or update, please refer to the appropriate release notes for this kernel version, available as part of the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Documentation Library .
A bug that resulted in
depmod
errors when
upgrading or reinstalling the
kmod-oracleasm
package has been fixed. This error appeared on systems that were
running a previous version of the
kmod-oracleasm
package and only occurred if
the packages were downgraded and then upgraded again.
(Bug ID 28864195)
Table of Contents
This chapter describes the known issues for Oracle Linux 7 Update 7.
Note that additional issues that are specific to the kernel that you are using might also be present. If you are using the default UEK R5 kernel, see the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 5 Release Notes . If you are using an alternate UEK release or update, please refer to the release notes for the appropriate kernel version in the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Documentation Library .
The following issues might be encountered during an installation.
When performing a graphical installation, where some installation options are already set by using a kickstart configuration file, it is still possible to modify these settings by clicking the various fields during the installation to edit the predefined content. These types of edits during the installation process requires a user to intentionally attempt to modify the setting, effectively enabling an interactive installation, where options that are set in the kickstart configuration are not secured by any policy.
Note that this type of change is not possible when performing a text installation. During a text installation, the user can only modify fields that have not already been defined in the kickstart configuration file.
(Bug ID 28642357)
When installing on an iSCSI disk, you must add either
ip=ibft
or
rd.iscsi.ibft=1
to the boot command line
and then specify at least one MBR or GPT-formatted disk as an
installation target. Otherwise, the installation fails with
the error message
No valid boot loader target device
found
.
(Bug ID 22076589)
If you have not applied a Thin Persistence license to an HPE 3PAR storage array, installation fails to create a file system on a thin provisioned virtual volume (TPVV). This license is required to support the low-level SCSI UNMAP command for storage reclamation. If you do not have a suitable license, the workaround is to use a fully provisioned virtual volume (FPVV) instead of a TPVV.
(Bug ID 22140852)
Installation fails if the target device is an Aura7 NVMe add-in card with two block devices. Although the card has two independent NVMe controllers and devices, they are assigned identical WWIDs. The multipath device mapper maps the two block devices to the same WWID, resulting in a bogus multipath configuration that prevents installation.
To work around the issue, disable multipath at boot for the
installation by using the installer boot argument
nompath
. After the installation, blacklist
the NVMe block devices for multipath configuration on the
system by editing
/etc/multipath.conf
, or
you can disable device mapper multipath altogether. See the
Oracle Linux Administrator's Guide for Release
7
at
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E52668_01/E54669/html/index.html
for more information about configuring multipath.
(Bug ID 27638939)
An upgrade from Oracle Linux 7 Update 6 can fail if the login session open
files limit is set too low and the system that is being
upgraded includes many packages from many channels or
repositories. The issue can be triggered if the
rpm-plugin-systemd-inhibit
package is
installed and the session is configured for a maximum open
file limit below 4096. This issue typically results in yum
failing to update and error messages similar to:
Verifying : glib2-static-2.56.1-1.el7.i686 glib2-static-2.56.1-1.el7.i686 was supposed to be installed but is not!
To resolve this issue, set the open file limit to 4096 before running yum update :
#ulimit -n 4096#yum update -y
(Bug ID 28720235)
The version of the
libpmemobj++-devel
package in the
ol7_optional_beta
repository
is not compatible with the version that is in the
ol7_optional_latest
repository. As a
result, a dependency issue is encountered when upgrading from
Oracle Linux 7 Update 6 to Oracle Linux 7 Update 7.
This error is expected, as the version of the
libpmemobj++-devel
package that is in the
ol7_optional_latest
repository for Oracle Linux 7 Update 6
is not provided in Oracle Linux 7 Update 7.
If you running Oracle Linux 7 Update 6 and this package is installed, the
workaround for this issue is to remove the
libpmemobj++-devel package
prior to
upgrading to Oracle Linux 7 Update 7.
(Bug ID 30141105)
When upgrading from a system prior to Oracle Linux 7 Update 4, where the
rdma-core.noarch
package is installed,
32-bit versions of the packages and many dependencies are also
installed, unnecessarily. This problem occurs because the
original version of the package is obsoleted, and during
upgrade, the package is replaced with both the
rdma-core.i686
and
rdma-core.x86_64
versions of the package,
along with those packages' dependencies.
To work around the issue, run the
yum
update
command with the
--exclude=\*.i686
option:
# yum update --exclude=\*.i686
(Bug ID 28217831)
During installation and while booting, an error may appear in the system log:
dracut: microcode_ctl: kernel version "4.14.35-1818.3.3.el7uek.x86_64" failed early load check for "intel-06-4f-01", skipping
The intel ucode 06-4f-01 file is incorrectly excluded from initramfs for boot-time microcode updates on some kernel versions. This affects certain Intel Xeon E5 v4 CPUs, one of the models formerly known as Broadwell. Oracle Server X6-2 uses this CPU model. The message is harmless provided the BIOS is current for any system using this processor model, as the BIOS will perform the required update. This issue is planned to be addressed in an errata update for microcode_ctl.
(Bug ID 28879995)
The following are known package conflicts for packages that are distributed by Oracle for Oracle Linux 7 through ULN or the Oracle Linux yum server.
The
PackageKit.i686
package from the
ol7_x86_64_optional_latest
ULN channel
conflicts with the
PackageKit.x86_64
package in the
ol7_x86_64_u6_base
channel.
Attempting to install both packages results in a transaction
check error:

You may only install one of these packages on the same system
at once. To avoid the conflict, exclude the
PackageKit.i686
package in your
yum
configuration. For more information
about how to exclude packages, see the
Oracle
Linux Unbreakable Linux Network User's
Guide
.
(Bug ID 24963661)
The daemons and features that are provided by the Red Hat
Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) are not supported in Oracle Linux.
ABRT packages and associated files, such as
libreport
, are included in the distribution
to satisfy package dependencies, but the features within these
packages are not supported. For technical assistance, contact
Oracle Support by accessing the My Oracle Support portal or by
telephone.
If an XFS file system is created with support for the
reflink
feature with the UEK R5 kernel,
you cannot mount the XFS file system with the RHCK kernel. It
can only be mounted as a read-only file system.
(Bug ID 30119906)
You cannot do snapshots of KVM guests if they use UEFI. In older
versions of QEMU and
libvirt
, the tools might
allow you to create the snapshot without an error or warning,
but the snapshot could be corrupted. More recent versions of
these tools prevent snapshot creation with an error similar to
the following:
virsh # snapshot-create-as OL7-seboot error: Operation not supported: internal snapshots of a VM with pflash based firmware are not supported
(Bug ID 26826800)
An Oracle Linux 7 KVM guest using the LSI MegaRAID SAS ISCSI controller is limited to 7 virtual disks. Although KVM guests can have up to 8 ISCSI virtual disks, the LSI MegaRAID SAS controller uses the first slot for the ISCSI Initiator, leaving just the 7 remaining slots for virtual disks.
The workaround for this issue is to use the
megasas
controller instead of the
lsi

(Bug 27681238)
If
/boot
is hosted on a btrfs subvolume, GRUB
2 is unable to correctly process the
initramfs
and
vmlinuz
pathnames. This problem occurs when you update or install a new
kernel and
grubby
attempts to update the GRUB
2 configuration. In the case where you are running a fresh
installation of Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 and you upgrade the RHCK or UEK
kernel, the following error is displayed:
grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template
After the kernel update, when the system is rebooted, it boots the old kernel.
Similarly, when upgrading from Oracle Linux 7 Update 4 to Oracle Linux 7 Update 7, if
/boot
is hosted on a
btrfs
subvolume, the system boots to the old Oracle Linux 7 Update 4 kernel after the
upgrade is complete.
The workaround for this problem is to use
grub2-mkconfig
to regenerate the
/etc/grub2/grub.cfg
file, or
/etc/grub2-efi.cfg
file on a UEFI booted
system, immediately after the kernel has been installed or
upgraded, for example:
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Obtain a listing of the kernel menu entries in the generated configuration as follows:
# grep -P "submenu|^menuentry" /boot/grub2/grub.cfg | cut -d "'" -f2
From the listing, select the kernel entry that you want to run as the default kernel and set this entry as the default by using the following command:
# grub2-set-default "menu entry title"
where
menu entry title
is the title
of the kernel entry that you identified in the listing.
You can use the
grub2-editenv list
command to
check that the
saved_entry
has been updated
with the selected kernel menu title.
Reboot the system and use uname -a to check that the correct kernel is now running.

The following are issues that you might encounter when using InfiniBand devices.
Kdump might fail on Oracle Linux 7 Update 6 if the Oracle Dual Port QDR InfiniBand Adapter M3 Firmware version 2.31.5350 is installed.
To prevent this issue from occurring, update the Oracle Dual Port QDR InfiniBand Adapter M3 Firmware version to at least 2.31.5350.
(Bug ID 26351183)
You might see the following warning messages if you use the ibportstate disable command to disable an InfiniBand CA or router port:
ibwarn: [2696] _do_madrpc: recv failed: Connection timed out ibwarn: [2696] mad_rpc: _do_madrpc failed; dport (Lid 38) ibportstate: iberror: failed: smp set portinfo failed
You can safely ignore these warnings.
(Bug ID 16248314)
If
RemoveIPC=yes
is configured for systemd,
interprocess communication (IPC) is terminated for a non-system
user's processes when that user logs out. This setting, which is
intended for use on laptop systems, can cause software problems
on server systems. For example, if the user is a database
software owner such as
oracle
for Oracle
Database, this configuration can cause a database installation
to fail or database services to crash.
By default, Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 configures
RemoveIPC=no
in
/etc/systemd/logind.conf
to prevent
systemd from terminating IPC. However, if you have touched this
file before updating your system to Oracle Linux 7 Update 6, the update installs
the new version of the file as
/etc/systemd/logind.conf.rpmnew
and does not
set
RemoveIPC=no
in
/etc/systemd/logind.conf
. To avoid database
crashes, set
RemoveIPC=no
in
/etc/systemd/logind.conf
and run the
systemctl reboot
command to reboot the
system. (Bug ID 22224874)
The
libpcap
package is updated to enable
functionality for future technologies. If you install this
package and then attempt to uninstall it, a large number of
libvirt
packages might also be uninstalled
due to dependency relationships. The
libvirt
package has a dependency on the
libvirt-daemon-driver-nwfiler
package and
this package has a dependency on
libpcap
.
Removing
libpcap
removes the entire
libvirt
family of packages. (Bug ID 28582266)
The creation of Oracle Linux 7 containers fails when the
root
file system
(
/container
) is hosted on an NFS share. This
problem occurs because the
iputils
package in
Oracle Linux 7 is built to use the Linux file extended attributes
[xattr(7)] security capabilities(7)
. Because
the NFS protocol does not support these file capabilities, the
iputils
package might not be installed into
an NFS files system. For example, when attempting to create an
Oracle Linux 7 container, the installation fails while installing the
iputils
package, producing the following
error:
Error unpacking rpm package iputils-20121221-7.el7.x86_64 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/bin/ping: cpio: cap_set_file error: iputils-20121221-7.el7.x86_64: install failed
Similar issues are seen when attempting to install the
initscripts
and
systemd
packages while creating an Oracle Linux 7 container.
This issue occurs on both NFSv3 and NFSv4.
Note that Oracle Linux 6 containers are not affected. (Bug ID 25024258)
Oracle Linux 7 guests are supported for both hardware virtualization (HVM) and hardware virtualization with paravirtual drivers (PVHVM) on Oracle VM Release 3. Oracle Linux 7 guests in a paravirtualized domain (PVM) on Oracle VM or other Xen-based hypervisors are not supported.
Oracle Linux 7 guests of any type are not supported on Oracle VM Release 2. (Bug IDs 18712168, 18667813, 18266964)
The
hypervkvpd
and
hypervvssd
services fail to start if the
Hyper-V packages are at version
0-0.29.20160216git.el7
. This issue occurs on
Oracle Linux 7 guests that have the UEK R4 kernel running on a Windows
Hyper-V Server.
To resolve the issue, downgrade the package version for the
following packages to
0-0.26.20150402git.el7
:
hyperv-daemons
hyperv-daemons-license
hypervfcopyd
hypervkvpd
hypervvssd
These user-space packages are available in the
ol7_latest
yum repository and the
ol7_x86_64_UEKR4
ULN channel.
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Stop any running Hyper-V services:
#systemctl stop hypervfcopyd.service#systemctl stop hypervkvpd.service#systemctl stop hypervvssd.service
Downgrade the packages:
# yum downgrade hyperv*
Restart the Hyper-V services:
#systemctl restart hypervfcopyd.service#systemctl restart hypervkvpd.service#systemctl restart hypervvssd.service
Modify your yum configuration file to exclude the Hyper-V packages from future updates, for example:
# echo "exclude = hyperv*" >> /etc/yum.conf
Remember that you might want to remove this exclude at a later date when this issue is resolved.
(Bug ID 24745861)
The following issues are related to network features and configuration:
The ip and iproute commands included with Oracle Linux 7 Update 6 include support for Geneve-capable devices. The module for this driver is included with the RHCK but is not included in UEK R4. The commands to set, add or view Geneve devices are only functional when used with the RHCK or with UEK R5. (Bug ID 24652835) .
When running UEK R4 on Oracle Linux 7 Update 6, NetworkManager fails to send
a response to low priority networks with DHCP on UEK R4.
Networks with higher priority (link-local, IPv6
fe80:/64
routes) take priority over the
lower priority networks. This behavior might result in the
DHCPv6 server failing to send a response to a DHCP client on a
lower priority network, even if the network has another output
device. (Bug ID 27714775)
The network connection icon might report an active network
interface as being disconnected. This behavior is seen for the
root
user but not for other users.
Command-line utilities such as
ip link
and
ifconfig
report the correct state.
(Bug ID 19060089)
By default, Oracle Linux 7 in graphical (GUI) console mode treats the hardware power button as equivalent to the ACPI "Sleep" button, which puts the system into low-power sleep mode. This behavior is specific to GNOME desktop environment.
In previous Oracle Linux versions, the hardware power button initiated a
system shutdown. To make Oracle Linux 7 do the same, create a file named
/etc/dconf/db/local.d/01-shutdown-button
with
the following content:
[org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power] button-power='shutdown'
Then run the following command:
# dconf update
You must log out of the desktop environment and log back in for the new setting to take effect. (Bug ID 25597898)
During an installation with
virt-manager
, if
you select a customized configuration and then edit the Name
field to customize the virtual machine (VM) name, an error
occurs when you attempt to apply the changes.
On the
x86_64
platform, this issue only
occurs when UEFI firmware is selected for the guest;
BIOS-based installations are unaffected.
The error that is displayed is similar to the following:
Error apply changes: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'rfind'
Traceback (most recent call last):

Table of Contents
You can download a full Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 installation media image from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud at https://edelivery.oracle.com/linux . You can also obtain the latest Oracle Linux 7 packages from the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) and the Oracle Linux yum server.
You can install additional software for Oracle Linux 7 by subscribing to the different channels on ULN or by enabling the required repositories within your yum configuration. To explore the channels that are available to you on ULN, log in to https://uln.oracle.com/ and view the Channels option. To view the Oracle Linux yum repositories that are available for Oracle Linux 7, visit https://yum.oracle.com/oracle-linux-7.html .
The Oracle Linux yum server does not provide equivalent repositories for some channels that are available on ULN. These channels provide non-open source packages.
If you are installing an update on a system for which you have previously installed the Oracle-supported OFED packages, see Upgrading a system with an existing UEK R4 installation to continue to use UEK R4 for instructions on how to update these packages during an upgrade.
UEK R5 is the default boot kernel for fresh installations of Oracle Linux 7 Update 7. For more information, see the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 5 Update 2 Release Notes .
For systems that are running UEK R3 or UEK R4 and are subscribed
to the
ol7_x86_64_UEKR3
or
ol7_x86_64_UEKR4
channel on ULN, or the
ol7_x86_64_UEKR3
or
ol7_x86_64_UEKR4
repository on the Oracle Linux yum server,
upgrade to the latest UEK release as follows:
Upgrade all of the packages on the system, including the kernel packages.
# yum update
By default, the boot manager automatically enables the most recent kernel version so you do not need to change your GRUB configuration.
Reboot the system.
# systemctl reboot
Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 updates many major subsystems. To ensure that your updated systems function correctly, reboot them after updating.
It is possible to upgrade an Oracle Linux 6 system to Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 under the following conditions:
The system meets the minimum installation requirements for Oracle Linux 7 as described in Chapter 1, System Requirements and Limitations .
The Oracle Linux 6 system has been completely updated from the
ol6_x86_64_latest
channel or
ol6_latest
repository.
UEK R3 or UEK R4 has been installed on the system to be upgraded and is the default boot kernel. Upgrading from UEK R2 is not supported. Note that the system is upgraded to use the UEK R5 release provided with Oracle Linux 7 Update 7.
No Oracle product stack is present on the system.
Upgrading is supported only for systems that are installed with the Minimal Install base environment. If additional packages are installed from an alternative repository or channel, upgrade might fail or the resulting upgrade might not function as expected.
For general instructions on how to perform an upgrade, see Upgrading an Oracle Linux System in the Oracle Linux 7 Installation Guide .
The following steps are specific to the update for this release:
Make sure that your system is completely up to date by using
the
yum update
command to update to the
latest Oracle Linux 6 release. The system must be subscribed to the
ol6_x86_64_latest
and
ol6_x86_64_addons
channels or
ol6_latest
and
ol6_addons
repositories to be updated.
Install the latest versions of the required upgrade packages:
# yum install openscap redhat-upgrade-tool preupgrade-assistant \
preupgrade-assistant-el6toel7 preupgrade-assistant-el6toel7-data-0 \
preupgrade-assistant-tools preupgrade-assistant-ui
Obtain the latest versions of these packages from ULN (in
the
ol6_x86_64_addons
channel), or from
the Oracle Linux yum server (in the
ol6_addons
repository).
If the system is registered with ULN, delete the system from ULN and disable yum plugins.
Run the preupg command to perform an upgrade assessment:
# preupg
Examine the results in
/root/preupgrade/result.html
to make sure
there are no items that have failed or need attention.
Run the redhat-upgrade-tool-cli command to perform the upgrade:
#redhat-upgrade-tool-cli --network=7.5 --instrepo=\OL7_repo_url--debuglog=/tmp/upgrade.log --cleanup-post
where
OL7_repo_url
is the URL of
the repository where the Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 ISO is hosted.
Reboot the system to start the upgrade process.
When upgrading from Oracle Linux 6 to Oracle Linux 7 Update 7, the previous version of UEK R4 is removed from the system during the upgrade and the system is updated to use the UEK R5 release that is provided on the installation media image as the default boot kernel.
Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 introduces UEK R5 as the default kernel. The Oracle-supported RDMA packages that are shipped with UEK R5 replace previous OFED packages and use an updated package and channel-naming scheme. Oracle recommends using UEK R5 with Oracle Linux 7 Update 7. If you intend to install RDMA packages, see Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 5 Update 2 Release Notes .
If you are upgrading your system from a release prior to Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 and you are already using UEK R5 with the Oracle-supported RDMA packages, these packages are updated automatically as part of the upgrade process.
If your system is registered with ULN, ensure that it is
subscribed to the
ol7_x86_64_UEKR5_RDMA
,
ol7_x86_64_UEKR5
, and
ol7_x86_64_latest
channels before the
upgrade.
If your system uses the Oracle Linux yum server, ensure that the
ol7_UEKR5_RDMA
,
ol7_UEKR5
, and
ol7_latest
repositories are enabled before
upgrading.
If you are upgrading your system from a release prior to Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 and you are using UEK R4 with the Oracle-supported OFED packages, it is recommended that you upgrade to UEK R5 and switch to the corresponding Oracle-supported UEK R5 RDMA packages before upgrading your system.
Note that if the system is newly registered on ULN, the
ol7_x86_64_UEKR5
and
ol7_x86_64_latest
channels are subscribed
to by default. However, you will need to explicitly subscribe
to the
ol7_x86_64_UEKR5_RDMA
channel.
If your system uses the Oracle Linux yum server, the
ol7_UEKR5
, and
ol7_latest
repositories are enabled by
default, starting with Oracle Linux 7 Update 6. However, ensure that the
ol7_UEKR5_RDMA
and
ol7_UEKR5
repositories are enabled before
upgrading.
Upgrading requires that you remove existing OFED packages prior to installing the compatible packages for UEK R5. For instructions, see the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 5 Update 2 Release Notes .
If you are upgrading your system from a release prior to Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 and you are using UEK R4 with the Oracle-supported OFED packages, and you intend to continue to use UEK R4, you must ensure that your system is subscribed to the correct channels or that the correct yum repositories are enabled before upgrading.
If you are using ULN, check that your system is registered
before upgrading and then subscribe the system to the
ol7_x86_64_UEKR4_OFED
and
ol7_x86_64_UEKR4
channels.
By default, the
ol7_x86_64_UEKR5
and
ol7_x86_64_latest
channels are enabled
when you register an Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 system with ULN. Note that if
the
ol7_x86_64_UEKR5
channel is enabled,
you must disable it to continue if you plan to continue to
use UEK R4 with the Oracle-supported OFED packages.
If you are using the Oracle Linux yum server, check that the
ol7_UEKR4
and
ol7_UEKR4_OFED
repositories are enabled and
make sure that the
ol7_UEKR5
and
ol7_UEKR5_RDMA
repositories are disabled.
Use the yum update command to upgrade to Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 with the UEK R4 compatible OFED packages.
If you do not have any of the OFED packages installed, you can proceed to install the packages as described in the installation instructions that are provided in Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 7 Release Notes .
