You can install Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 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 that is 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, as well as the architecture of the system on which
Oracle Linux is installed. The values that are 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 on which 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 8 ships with the following kernel packages:
kernel-3.10.0-1127.el7
Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK).
kernel-uek-4.14.35-1902.300.11.el7uek
Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 5 Update 3 (UEK R5U3), 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 that is supported is the kernel that is included in the image. Downgrading kernel packages is not supported, unless recommended by Oracle Support.
Note that although the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 (UEK R6) is not included on the installation media image, you can install it from the Oracle Linux yum server or the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN). For more information about UEK R6, see Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel: Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 .
Previous UEK releases, such as UEK R4 can also be installed from the Oracle Linux yum server or 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 8.
For details of the new features and changes in the initial release of Oracle Linux 7, see Oracle ® Linux 7: Release Notes for Oracle Linux 7 .
Before installing Oracle Linux 7 Update 8, review the following important information:
Any system that is installed by using any Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 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 8 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 8. 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.
Starting with Oracle Linux 7 Update 4, BTRFS is deprecated in RHCK. Note that BTRFS is fully supported with UEK R4 and UEK R5.
An improvement has been made to the
rsyslog
service in Oracle Linux 7 Update 8. A new option for managing letter-case
preservation by using the
FROMHOST
property
for the
imudp
and
imtcp
modules has been added. Note that you must implicitly set the
preservecase
value to
on
to enable handling of the
FROMHOST
property
in a case-sensitive manner. To avoid breaking any existing
configurations, the default
preservecase
value is set to
on
for the
imtcp
module and
off
for
the
imudp
module.
In Oracle Linux 7 Update 8, the Pacemaker
concurrent-fencing
cluster property defaults to
true
. Also,
Pacemaker now executes fencing simultaneously for multiple nodes
that use different configured fence devices that require fencing
at the same time. Previously, this type of fencing was
serialized. Note that this enhancement speeds up recovery in a
large cluster, where multiple nodes are fenced.
The following security features, bug fixes, and enhancements are included in this update.
scap-security-guide
packages updated to veresion
4.2.1.
In this update, the Protection Profile for General Purpose
Operating Systems (OSPP) profile with the
ospp
ID in the
scap-security-guide
packages is updated
to version 4.2.1. Also, the previous version 4.0 OSPP
profile is renamed to the NIST National Checklist Program
Security Guide (NCP) profile, with the
ncp
ID, and the
ospp42
ID is removed.
selinux-policy
packages updated to enable tomcat_t
domain access to redis_port_t labeled ports.
New in Oracle Linux 7 Update 8, the
selinux-policy
packages now enable the
tomcat_t domain
domain to connect to ports that are labeled
redis_port_t
when the
tomcat_can_network_connect_db SELinux
boolean is enabled. This boolean provides
tomcat_t
with access to several
databases.
SELinux policy updated to enable
sysadm_u
users to
log in to graphical sessions.
In this update, the SELinux policy now allows
sysadm_u
users login access to
graphical sessions, while still conforming to DISA STIG
requirements. In addition, enabling the
xdm_sysadm_login
boolean allows the
sysadm_u
user to successfully log in to
an X Window System session from the GNOME Display Manager
(GDM).
Features that are currently under technology preview in UEK R5 are described in the release notes for the UEK R5 release that you are running, which is part of the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Documentation library.
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:
Extended Berkeley Packet Filter tool (eBPF) system call for tracing.
Heterogeneous memory management (HMM).
kexec
and
kexec
fast reboot system calls for loading and booting into
another kernel from the currently running kernel.
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.
Cisco proprietary User Space Network Interface
Controller in UCM servers provided in the
libusnic_verbs
driver.
The
flower
classifier with
off-loading support.
Trusted Network Connect included.
Storage:
Multi-queue I/O scheduling for SCSI
(
scsi-mq
). This functionality is
disabled by default.
NVMe over Fibre Channel (NVMe/FC) transport type
available in Qlogic adapters using the
qla2xxx
driver.
Plug-in for the
libStorageMgmt
API
used for storage array management. The
libStorageMgmt
API is now 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 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 known issues in Oracle Linux 7 Update 8.
For any additional issues that are specific to the UEK kernel that you are using, refer to the release notes for your UEK release in the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Documentation library.
The following issues might be encountered during an Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 installation or upgrade.
Upgrading from Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 to Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 by installing packages from
ULN fails if the
openscap-containers
package is already installed on the system that you are
upgrading.
You can prevent this issue from occurring by removing the
openscap-containers
package prior to
upgrading to Oracle Linux 7 Update 8:
# yum -y remove openscap-containers
(Bug ID 30686371)
The following issue applies to the
x86_64
and 64-bit Arm platforms.
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 you 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, you can only modify fields that have not already been defined in the kickstart configuration file.
(Bug ID 28642357)
This issue is due to a known limitation that the
bnx2x
and
bnx2fc
drivers
have with the Option Card Black Box - Active Health (OCBB)
feature when input–output memory management unit (IOMMU) is
enabled. The issue occurs because the network adapter firmware
attempts to access a memory area that is not assigned network
devices when bringing the interface up/down or when
loading/unloading the driver. When this issue occurs, you must
reboot the system.
As a workaround, you must specify
intel_iommu=off
in the kernel boot
parameters.
(Bug ID 30102871)
When installing on an iSCSI disk, you must add
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
.
Any prior instruction to use the
ip=ibft
is no longer valid, as this option is now fully deprecated.
(Bug ID 22076589 and 30155659)
If you have not applied a Thin Persistence license to an HPE 3PAR storage array, the 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 this issue, disable multipath for the
installation at boot time by using the installer boot argument
nompath
. After the installation completes,
black list the NVMe block devices for the multipath
configuration on the system by editing the
/etc/multipath.conf
file. Or, you can
disable device mapper multipath altogether. See
Oracle
® Linux 7: Administrator's Guide
for more information about configuring
multipath.
(Bug ID 27638939)
The following issue applies to the
x86_64
and 64-bit Arm platforms.
An upgrade from Oracle Linux 7 Update 6 can fail if the log-in session open
files limit is set too low and the system that is being
upgraded includes multiple packages from many channels or
repositories. This issue can be triggered if the
rpm-plugin-systemd-inhibit
package is
installed and the session is configured for a maximum open
file limit that is lower than 4096. The issue typically
results in yum failing to update and error messages similar to
the following:
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)
For upgrades 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. Thus, 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)
The
PackageKit.i686
package in 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
similar to the following:
Transaction check error: file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/packagekit/__init__.pyc from install of PackageKit-version.el7.i686 conflicts with file from package PackageKit-version.el7.x86_64 file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/packagekit/__init__.pyo from install of PackageKit-version.el7.i686 conflicts with file from package PackageKit-version.el7.x86_64 file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/packagekit/backend.pyc from install of PackageKit-version.el7.i686 conflicts with file from package PackageKit-version.el7.x86_64 file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/packagekit/backend.pyo from install of PackageKit-version.el7.i686 conflicts with file from package PackageKit-version.el7.x86_64 file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/packagekit/enums.pyc from install of PackageKit-version.el7.i686 conflicts with file from package PackageKit-version.el7.x86_64 file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/packagekit/enums.pyo from install of PackageKit-version.el7.i686 conflicts with file from package PackageKit-version.el7.x86_64 file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/packagekit/filter.pyc from install of PackageKit-version.el7.i686 conflicts with file from package PackageKit-version.el7.x86_64 file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/packagekit/filter.pyo from install of PackageKit-version.el7.i686 conflicts with file from package PackageKit-version.el7.x86_64 file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/packagekit/misc.pyc from install of PackageKit-version.el7.i686 conflicts with file from package PackageKit-version.el7.x86_64 file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/packagekit/misc.pyo from install of PackageKit-version.el7.i686 conflicts with file from package PackageKit-version.el7.x86_64 file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/packagekit/package.pyc from install of PackageKit-version.el7.i686 conflicts with file from package PackageKit-version.el7.x86_64 file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/packagekit/package.pyo from install of PackageKit-version.el7.i686 conflicts with file from package PackageKit-version.el7.x86_64 file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/packagekit/progress.pyc from install of PackageKit-version.el7.i686 conflicts with file from package PackageKit-version.el7.x86_64 file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/packagekit/progress.pyo from install of PackageKit-version.el7.i686 conflicts with file from package PackageKit-version.el7.x86_64
You may only install one of these packages on the same system at
the same time. To avoid this conflict, exclude the
PackageKit.i686
package in your
yum
configuration. For more information about
how to exclude packages, see
Oracle
® Linux: Unbreakable Linux Network User's Guide for Oracle Linux 6 and Oracle Linux 7
.
(Bug ID 24963661)
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 8 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 8, 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 following information pertains to the 64-bit Arm platform also.
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.
The following file systems issues are encountered when running Oracle Linux 7 Update 8.
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. The
file system can only be mounted as read-only.
(Bug ID 30119906)
The following issue applies to the
x86_64
and 64-bit Arm (aarch64) platforms.
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 8 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.
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.
(Bug ID 22750169)
The following information applies to the
x86_64
and 64-bit Arm (aarch64) platforms.
Installing the
tex-fonts-hebrew
package fails
unless you first install all of the
texlive*
packages.
(Bug ID 19059949)
The following are issues that you might encounter when using InfiniBand devices.
Kdump might fail on Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 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)
The following issue applies to both
x86_64
and 64-bit Arm platforms.
You cannot create 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 by producing
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 Update 8 KVM guest that is 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
controller when creating ISCSI virtual
disks. For example, change
-device lsi
to
-device megasas
, as highlighted in the
following examples:
# /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -machine accel=kvm -m 8192 -smp 8 \
-drive file=/path/OracleLinux-7.6-x86_64.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=disk \
-device ide-hd,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=disk,bootindex=0 -device lsi,id=lsi0 \
-drive file=/path/disk1.img,format=raw,if=none,id=drive_image1 \
-device scsi-hd,id=image1,drive=drive_image1,bus=lsi0.0 \
...
# /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -machine accel=kvm -m 8192 -smp 8 \
-drive file=/path/OracleLinux-7.6-x86_64.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=disk \
-device ide-hd,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=disk,bootindex=0 -device megasas,id=lsi0 \
-drive file=/path/disk1.img,format=raw,if=none,id=drive_image1 \
-device scsi-hd,id=image1,drive=drive_image1,bus=lsi0.0 \
...
(Bug 27681238)
The following issue applies to the
x86_64
and 64-bit Arm platforms.
The
libpcap
package is updated to enable
functionality for upcoming 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 following issue applies to the
x86_64
and 64-bit Arm platforms.
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 following issues are related to network features and configuration.
The ip and iproute commands included with Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 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 that you use to set, add, or view Geneve devices are only functional when used with RHCK or UEK R5.
(Bug ID 24652835) .
When running UEK R4 on Oracle Linux 7 Update 8,
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.
The issue is not encountered if you are running the UEK R5 release, which is the default kernel that is shipped with Oracle Linux 7 Update 8.
(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 Update 8 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)
Running the sosreport command in this release issues warnings similar to the following:
[plugin:networking] skipped command 'ip -s macsec show': required kernel modules or services not present (kmods=[macsec] services=[]). Use '--allow-system-changes' to enable collection. [plugin:networking] skipped command 'ss -peaonmi': required kernel modules or services not present (kmods=[tcp_diag,udp_diag,inet_diag,unix_diag,netlink_diag,af_packet_diag] services=[]). Use '--allow-system-changes' to enable collection.
These warnings are expected and are due to a change in the
sos
package version in Oracle Linux 7 Update 8, which now
includes the
--allow-system-changes
option.
The warning is advising you to specify this option whenever you
run the
sosreport
command to ensure that all
data is collected correctly and that no system information is
omitted from the resulting sosreport.
When the
--allow-system-changes
option is
specified, it runs all subcommands, even those subcommands
that are capable of changing the system, for example, load
kernel modules, etc.
(Bug ID 30650012)
The following issue applies to the
x86_64
and 64-bit platforms. Note that on the
x86_64
platform, this issue only occurs
when UEFI firmware is selected for the guest. BIOS-based
installations are unaffected.
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.
The error that is displayed is similar to the following:
Error apply changes: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'rfind'
Traceback (most recent call last):

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 8. For more information, see the release notes for the UEK R5 release that you are running in the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Documentation library.
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 8 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 8 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 that is 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 that is provided with Oracle Linux 7 Update 8.
No Oracle product stack is present on the system.
Upgrades are 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 performing an upgrade, see Oracle ® Linux 7: Installation Guide .
The following steps are specific to the update for this release:
Ensure that your system is completely up to date by using the yum update command to update to the latest Oracle Linux 6 release.
Note that the system must be subscribed to the
ol6_x86_64_latest
and
ol6_x86_64_addons
channels or
ol6_latest
and
ol6_addons
repositories prior to updating
the system.
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 the
/root/preupgrade/result.html
file to
ensure that there are no failed items or any items that
require attention.
Peform the upgrade by running the redhat-upgrade-tool-cli command, for example:
#redhat-upgrade-tool-cli --network=7.5 --instrepo=\OL7_repo_url--debuglog=/tmp/upgrade.log --cleanup-post
In the previous command,
OL7_repo_url
is the URL of the
repository in which the Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 ISO is hosted.
Reboot the system to start the upgrade process.
When upgrading from Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 to Oracle Linux 7 Update 8, the previous UEK R4 version 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 8 provides UEK R5 as the default kernel. The Oracle-supported RDMA packages that are shipped with UEK R5 replace the previous OFED packages and use an updated package and channel-naming scheme. Oracle recommends using UEK R5 with Oracle Linux 7 Update 8. If you intend to install RDMA packages, see the release notes for the UEK R5 release that you are running in the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Documentation library.
If you are upgrading your system from a release prior to Oracle Linux 7 Update 8, and you are already using UEK R5 with the Oracle-supported RDMA packages, these packages are updated automatically during 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 8, 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
repository is enabled before
upgrading.
Upgrading requires that you remove existing OFED packages prior to installing the compatible packages for UEK R5. For instructions, see the release notes for the UEK R5 release that you are running in the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Documentation library.
If you are upgrading your system from a release prior to Oracle Linux 7 Update 8, 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 8 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 8 with the UEK R4 compatible OFED packages.
If you do not have any of the OFED packages installed, you can install the packages, per the installation instructions in the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel: Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 7 .
Table of Contents
The following information pertains to the Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 (aarch64) release. Some general information in this chapter may also apply to the x86_64 platform.
System requirements and limitations for 64-bit Arm architecture are under review. You can check whether your hardware is supported on Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 (aarch64) by checking the Hardware Certification List at https://linux.oracle.com/hardware-certifications . Hardware is listed as it becomes available and is validated.
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 those 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 8 (aarch64) ships with the following kernel package:
kernel-uek-4.14.35-1902.300.11.el7uek
Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 5 (UEK R5), which is the default kernel.
Besides the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 5 (UEK R5) kernel, the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 (UEK R6) kernel is also supported on the 64-bit Arm platform. You can download the UEK R6 packages from ULN or the Oracle Linux yum server. For information about features and known issues in UEK R6, see Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel: Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 .
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 that is supported is the kernel that is included in the image. Downgrading kernel packages is not supported, unless recommended by Oracle Support.
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 .
The following new features are specific to the 64-bit Arm (aarch64) platform only . See Chapter 3, New Features and Changes for information about new features in Oracle Linux 7 Update 8, some of which may also be supported on the 64-bit Arm (aarch64) architecture.
DTrace is enabled for 64-bit Arm platforms and ports of the DTrace code are available in UEK R5. Refer to the release notes for the UEK R5 release that you are running in the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Documentation library.
The DTrace user-space code in the
dtrace-utils
package has also all been
ported to run on 64-bit Arm platforms to fully enable DTrace
for Oracle Linux 7 Update 7 (aarch64)
This release includes Oracle Arm Toolset 1, which provides the following developer tools:
gcc
v7.3.
Supports the 2011 revision of the ISO C standard
g++
v7.3.0.
Supports the 2014 ISO C++ standard
gfortran
v7.3.0.
Supports Fortran 2008
go
v1.10.1.
Go Programming Language
gdb
v8.0.1.
GNU debugger
binutils
v2.30.
Binary utilities
Note that the versions of the tools that are listed are more recent than the base system versions. The base versions are intentionally kept stable for several years to ensure compatibility for device drivers and other components that might be closely tied to a specific compiler version. However, you might choose to use more modern language features for your own applications.
Refer to the Oracle Linux 7 Software Collections yum Repository for a complete list of the software packages that are included in Oracle Arm Toolset 1.
To use the Oracle Arm Toolset 1, do the following:
Download the aarch64 version of the Oracle Linux
.repo
file.
#cd /etc/yum.repos.d#wget https://yum.oracle.com/aarch64/public-yum-ol7.repo
Enable the Software Collection by editing the
.repo
file and setting
enable=1
for the
ol7_software_collections
repository.
Note that the
.repo
file has many other
repositories that can also be enabled, along with the
ol7_software_collections
repository.
Install the
oracle-armtoolset-1
package.
# yum install 'oracle-armtoolset-1*'
Start a new shell for the software collection, which is
the
bash
shell in the following
example:
$ scl enable oracle-armtoolset-1 bash
You can optionally specify another shell in the command.
Run the following commands to check that the gcc command starts the correct copy and also that the paths are as correct:
$which gcc$echo $PATH$echo $MANPATH$echo $INFOPATH$echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
where the output of the which command should return the following:
/opt/oracle/oracle-armtoolset-1/root/usr/bin/gcc
The output of the four echo commands should begin with the following:
/opt/oracle/oracle-armtoolset-1/
For more details and troubleshooting information, see the blog post at https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/getting-started-with-oracle-arm-toolset-1 .
An improvement has been made to the
rsyslog
service in Oracle Linux 7 Update 8. A new option for managing letter-case
preservation by using the
FROMHOST
property
for the
imudp
and
imtcp
modules has been added. Note that you must implicitly set the
preservecase
value to
on
to enable handling of the
FROMHOST
property
in a case-sensitive manner. To avoid breaking any existing
configurations, the default
preservecase
value is set to
on
for the
imtcp
module and
off
for
the
imudp
module.
The following security features, bug fixes, and enhancements are included in this update.
scap-security-guide
packages updated to veresion
4.2.1.
In this update, the Protection Profile for General
Purpose Operating Systems (OSPP) profile with the
ospp
ID in the
scap-security-guide
packages is
updated to version 4.2.1. Also, the previous version 4.0
OSPP profile is renamed to the NIST National Checklist
Program Security Guide (NCP) profile, with the
ncp
ID, and the
ospp42
ID is removed.
selinux-policy
packages updated to allow tomcat_t
domain access to redis_port_t labeled ports.
New in Oracle Linux 7 Update 8, the
selinux-policy
packages now allow the
tomcat_t
domain
domain to connect to ports that are
labeled
redis_port_t
when the
tomcat_can_network_connect_db SELinux
boolean is enabled. This boolean provides
tomcat_t
with access to several
databases.
SELinux policy updated to enable
sysadm_u
users to
log in to graphical sessions.
In this update, the SELinux policy now allows
sysadm_u
users login access to
graphical sessions, while still conforming to DISA STIG
requirements. In addition, enabling the
xdm_sysadm_login
boolean allows the
sysadm_u
user to successfully log in
to an X Window System session from the GNOME Display
Manager (GDM).
The following are known issues for Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 (aarch64). Some of these issue also apply to the x86_64 platform. For more information, see Chapter 4, Known Issues .
Note that additional issues that are specific to the kernel that you are using might also exist. For issues that are specific to the kernel, see the release notes for the UEK R5 release that you are running in the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Documentation library.
Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 (aarch64) is engineered and tested for server-related usage only . Although packages for desktop and productivity features are built and provided, testing of these packages is limited and support for graphical mode packages is not provided in this update. You can install any of these packages on your platform, but some of these applications might not work or could have issues that are not documented here.
Oracle does not provide support for these packages and any assistance is community-based. If you choose to run a desktop environment or any desktop applications, direct your questions to the Oracle Linux for Arm community forum at https://community.oracle.com/community/groundbreakers/server_%26_storage_systems/linux/oracle-linux-for-arm .
The following installation issues might be encountered during an Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 (aarch64) installation.
When performing a text-based installation, the installer detects the video controller and offers a graphical installation on the system video console by default. The boot menu may not offer options to perform text-based or VNC-based installation.
To perform a text-based installation, you must specify the
inst.text
option on the boot command
line. If you intend to perform a remote graphical
installation over VNC, you must use the
inst.vnc
option, as well as specify boot
options to configure the network. Typically
ip=dhcp
is used for this purpose.
For more information about boot options, see Oracle ® Linux 7: Installation Guide .
(Bug ID 27581120)
Running the yum install oracle-armtoolset-8 command sometimes fails to install the package. This failure occurs at the following stage of the installation:
Installing : oracle-armtoolset-8-runtime-8.0-1.el7_6.aarch64 16/69 Error unpacking rpm package oracle-armtoolset-8-runtime-8.0-1.el7_6.aarch64 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /opt/oracle/oracle-armtoolset-8/root/lib64: cpio: rename Installing : oracle-armtoolset-8-libgo-8.2.0-6.el7_6.aarch64 17/69 error: oracle-armtoolset-8-runtime-8.0-1.el7_6.aarch64: install failed Installing : oracle-armtoolset-8-libasan-8.2.0-6.el7_6.aarch64 18/69
Subsequent attempts to install the individual package also fail:

(Bug ID 29672241)
The QLogic
cnic
driver module is
unsupported on 64-bit Arm platforms. The Cavium ThunderX2
servers include hardware that can cause the
cnic
driver module to load, thus
triggering a kernel panic.
To work around this issue, black list the
cnic
module at boot by using the
module_blacklist=cnic
boot option in the
kernel command line for the installer. To prevent the module
from installing or loading in the future, create the file
/etc/modprobe.d/cnic.conf
file and add
the following lines:
blacklist cnic install cnic /bin/true
(Bug IDs 27011806, 28109733)
The
btrfs-convert
tool can be used to
convert an
ext4
file system to
btrfs
. However, if the tool attempts to
convert a file system that has not been created with a sector
block size that matches the system default page size (which is
set to 64 KB for the aarch64 platform) the resulting file
system cannot be mounted. This issue can occur if the original
ext4
file system is not created by using
the
-b 65536
option to specify a 64 KB
block size.
(Bug ID 28200561)
Manually loading shim binaries from the UEFI shell may fail in some scenarios. The following cases are known to fail:
FS0:\EFI\redhat\shimaa64.efi
FS0:\EFI\redhat\> shimaa64.efi
FS0:\> \EFI\redhat\shimaa64.efi
is known to
work correctly.
A standard installation is unaffected by this bug. The problem is limited to the manual execution of shim in the UEFI shell.
(Bug ID 27962691)
On systems with multiple CPUs, the crash dump tools that are
included with Kdump, fail to create a
vmcore-dmesg.txt
file, which is created
with the
vmcore
file. This issue may result
in the following segmentation fault:
...
kdump: saving to /sysroot//var/crash/127.0.0.1-2018-05-22-12:34:45/
kdump: saving vmcore-dmesg.txt

kdump: saving vmcore-dmesg.txt failed
kdump: saving vmcore
Copying data : [100.0 %] \
eta: 0s
kdump: saving vmcore complete
This issue is the result of a log buffer that is dynamically
allocated by the kernel.
vmcore-dmesg
does
not know how to access memory that allocated in this way. The
issue is typically triggered on systems with 64 or more CPUs,
but has also been observed on a 32-core Ampere X-Gene 3
system.
The dmesg output can be retrieved manually by the running crash command against vmcore and then using the dmesg command when in the crash shell.

, which is a feature
commonly available on x86_64 platforms:
ERROR: This system does not support CMPXCHG16B instruction (cpuflag cx16). nsslapd-enable-nunc-stans must be set to "off" on this system. In a future release of Directory Server this platform will NOT be supported. ERROR : The above errors MUST be corrected before proceeding.
The dsktune command checks that a system meets requirements and can provide helpful information pertaining to onfiguration, but it is not required to run the 389 Directory Server.
(Bug ID 26861135)
The following installation and availability information applies specifically to the 64-bit Arm platform for the Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 (aarch64) release.
Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 (aarch64) is made available in two forms:
OracleLinux-R7-U8-Server-aarch64-dvd.iso
:
An ISO image that can be used for a standard installation on
generic 64-bit Armv8 hardware. This ISO has been tested on
Arm hardware and is engineered for use with
Ampere
™ eMAG
™-based EVK platform and
the Cavium ThunderX2® processor. For the latest hardware
validated for Oracle Linux 7 Update 8, refer to the Hardware Certification
List at
https://linux.oracle.com/hardware-certifications
.
Note that hardware is listed as it becomes available.
The Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 (aarch64) ISO image is available from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud at https://edelivery.oracle.com/ .
A disk image that uses the file name format,
rpi3-ol7.8-image-
,
which can be installed onto an SD Card and used on Raspberry
Pi 3 Model B or Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, single-board
computer is also available for developers who might not have
access to alternative Arm hardware. This image includes the
necessary firmware to boot the Raspberry Pi directly into
Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 (aarch64). This image is made available for developers who
may not have access to alternate Arm hardware.

You can download the Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 (aarch64) release as a developer preview installation media image for Raspberry Pi platforms from the Oracle Technology Network at https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/linux/downloads/index.html .
The disk image for the Raspberry Pi is available as a technology preview for developer use only. Oracle does not provide support for Oracle Linux on Raspberry Pi systems. Developers are encouraged to visit the Oracle Linux for Arm community forum at https://community.oracle.com/community/groundbreakers/server_%26_storage_systems/linux/oracle-linux-for-arm for further assistance.
You can also obtain the latest Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 (aarch64) packages from the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) and the Oracle Linux yum server. You can install additional software for Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 (aarch64) 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 Update 8 (aarch64), 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.
UEK R5U3 is the default boot kernel for fresh installations of Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 (aarch64). Note that this is the only kernel that is available for the aarch64 platform in this update. For more information, see the releases notes for the UEK R5 release that you are running in the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Documentation library.
The installation process for Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 (aarch64) does not differ substantially from the installation process on the x86_64 platform. The same instructions and information that are provided in Oracle ® Linux 7: Installation Guide also apply to the aarch64 platform.
The recommended installation process is as follows:
Obtain the ISO image from the Oracle Technology Network ( https://www.oracle.com/linux/ )
Configure a network installation server to perform the installation. See Oracle ® Linux 7: Installation Guide for more information.
Create a kickstart file to automate your installation. See Oracle ® Linux 7: Installation Guide for more information about the contents of this file and how to use it when booting the installer.
Connect your target Arm hardware to the network and then configure the firmware to boot from the network or by performing a PXE boot. Refer to your hardware documentation for instructions.
Boot the target hardware and wait for the installation to complete.
The following exceptions and additional information might be required to complete the installation:
If you are performing a manual installation over the network
and intend to use the remote graphical installer over VNC by
setting the
inst.vnc
boot option, you
must also set boot options to configure the network.
Otherwise, the graphical installer fails to load and the
installation reverts to text mode.
To ensure that the VNC server starts at boot, append the
appropriate
ip
option to your kernel boot
command. Typically, for a DHCP configuration, this may look
similar to the following:
ip=eth0:dhcp
.
Note that the available Software Selection Groups in the installer may differ slightly from the groups that are available in the x86_64 installer.
Oracle provides an installation image of Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 (aarch64) that is
specifically designed to run on the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ hardware. The installation image that
is provided is a default installation of Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 (aarch64) into a raw
disk image that can be cloned block-by-block to an SD Card for
immediate boot. The default file system used in the image is
btrfs
. Raspberry Pi is a trademark of the
Raspberry Pi Foundation.
For more information about installing a Linux image onto the Raspberry Pi, visit https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/linux.md .
The following is a summary of the recommended installation process:
Obtain the Raspberry Pi disk image from the Oracle Technology Network at https://www.oracle.com/linux/ . Unzip the disk image when you have downloaded it.
On an existing Oracle Linux 7 Update 8 (aarch64) system, insert the SD Card into an SD Card reader that is connected to the system. The image is 5 GB in size. At minimum, your SD Card must have the capacity to store this image. An 8 GB SD Card is the recommended minimum.
Identify the device name for the SD Card. You can obtain this information from the output of dmesg , when you connect the device by using the lsblk or fdisk -l commands to list device names and device information.
Use the dd command to perform a block copy of the image file to the SD Card device, for example:
# dd if=/path/to/img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=4M
where
/path/to/img
is the
relative path to the image file and
/dev/mmcblk0
is the device name
for the SD Card.
This operation is destructive and will overwrite any data on the device that you have specified. Ensure that you have specified the correct device name. The operation may take some time to complete.
When the operation has completed, eject the SD Card from the reader, insert it into the SD Card reader on the Raspberry Pi and boot into Oracle Linux 7.
Log into the image as the
root
user
using the password
oracle
. Change the
password immediately after logging into to image.
If your SD Card is larger than the image (5 GB), you can grow the partition size to maximize disk usage. To grow the partition size, run the following commands after the installation has completed and after logging into the system on the Raspberry Pi:
#growpart /dev/mmcblk0 4#btrfs filesystem resize max /
If you require a graphical user interface (GUI), the XFCE
desktop environment, which is available in the
ol7_developer_EPEL
yum repository, is
usable and may be more suitable for devices with limited
resources, such as the Raspberry Pi.
