Table of Contents
This section describes new features and changes in Update 3 for Oracle Linux 7.
For details of the new features and changes in the initial release of Oracle Linux 7, see the Oracle Linux 7 Release Notes.
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 lists the maximum file size and maximum file system size for the btrfs, ext4, and XFS file systems.
File System Type | Maximum File Size | Maximum File System Size |
---|---|---|
btrfs | 50 TB | 50 TB |
ext4 | 50 TB | 50 TB |
XFS | 16 TB | 500 TB |
The maximum supported size for a bootable LUN is 50 TB. GPT and UEFI support are required for LUNs larger than 2 TB.
The maximum size of the address space that is available to each process is 128 TB.
Oracle Linux 7 Update 3 ships with the following kernel packages:
kernel-3.10.0-514.el7
Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK).
kernel-uek-4.1.12-61.1.18.el7uek
Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 update 2 (UEK R4u2), which is the default kernel.
Oracle Linux 7 Update 3 continues to support, but does not ship with, the latest Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 3 updates. At the time of publication this is UEK R3u7.
The kernel source code for the shipped kernel is available after the initial release via a public git source code repository at https://oss.oracle.com/git/?p=linux-uek.git.
Oracle Linux 7 includes tools to assist with the resolution of runtime issues. This section describes new features and changes to these tools in this update.
It is now possible to configure Kdump during non-graphical
installation. For limitations on using the
crashkernel=auto
setting, see
Section 3.5, “Crash Kernel auto Setting”.
makedumpfile can now use
sadump
format for dumps of more than 16 TB
of physical memory.
Oracle Linux 7 includes the Keepalived and HAProxy technologies for balancing access to network services while maintaining continuous access to those services.
Keepalived uses the IP Virtual Server (IPVS) kernel module to provide transport layer (Layer 4) load balancing, redirecting requests for network-based services to individual members of a server cluster. IPVS monitors the status of each server and uses the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) to implement high availability.
HAProxy is an application layer (Layer 7) load balancing and high availability solution that you can use to implement a reverse proxy for HTTP and TCP-based Internet services.
For more information, see Load Balancing and High Availability Configuration in the Oracle Linux 7 Administrator's Guide.
Note that the MySQL Community packages in this release update have been updated from MySQL Community 5.6 to MySQL Community 5.7.
In the initial release of Oracle Linux 7, the MySQL Community 5.6 packages were provided on the Oracle Linux 7 full installation DVD image but were not installable using the Anaconda installer or kickstart. The ISO image for this update to Oracle Linux 7 provides support for installing either MySQL 5.7 or MariaDB by using either the Anaconda installer or kickstart.
It is not possible to install MySQL and MariaDB on the same system as package conflicts exist. Installing the MySQL packages replaces any conflicting MariaDB packages.
By default, neither MySQL 5.7 packages nor MariaDB packages are installed. It is possible to install either the MySQL 5.7 package group or the MariaDB package group on a system by using the graphical installer or kickstart, but not both package groups.
To install the MySQL 5.7 packages using kickstart, specify the
@mysql
package group in the
%packages
section. If you also specify
@mariadb
, it is ignored.
To install the MariaDB packages using kickstart, specify
@mariadb
but not @mysql
in
the %packages
section.
If you want to install MariaDB, you must deselect the MySQL repository. Otherwise, MySQL is installed even if you select only the MariaDB group. (Bug ID 22238684)
The MySQL Community 5.7, MySQL Community 5.6 and MySQL Community 5.5 packages are also available on the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) and Oracle Public Yum.
It is not necessary to install the Spacewalk client before registering an Oracle Linux 7 Update 3 system with a Spacewalk server. Instead, you can use the rhnreg_ks command, specifying the CA certificate file for the server, the server URL, and the activation key to be associated with the system.
To register a system as a client of a Spacewalk server:
Download the CA certificate file
RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
to the system.
In a browser tab, navigate to
http://
,
where swksvr_FQDN
/pubswksvr_FQDN
is the fully
qualified domain name of the Spacewalk server, and
download the CA certificate file
RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
to
/usr/share/rhn/
.
Alternatively, you can use wget from the command line, for example:
#wget -q -O /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
\http://
swksvr_FQDN
/pub/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
Register the system with Spacewalk using the rhnreg_ks command, using the --sslCACert option to specify the certificate.
#rhnreg_ks --sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
\--serverUrl=https://
swksvr_FQDN
/XMLRPC --activationkey=activation_key
Specify the Spacewalk server or proxy by its fully qualified domain name.
If you need to re-register a Spacewalk client with a Spacewalk server, additionally specify the --force option.
Oracle recommends installing the Spacewalk client software after registration to support all of the features provided by Spacewalk, which include provisioning and auditing.
To install the Spacewalk client software after registration, subscribe the server to a Spacewalk Client 2.2 software channel and use yum to install the packages:
# yum install rhn-client-tools rhn-check rhn-setup rhnsd m2crypto yum-rhn-plugin
This update allows you to install and use Oracle Linux 7 on
systems that have enabled UEFI Secure Boot. A system in Secure
Boot mode will load only boot loaders and kernels that have been
signed by Oracle. Oracle has updated the
kernel
and grub2
packages
to sign them with a valid Extended Validation (EV) certificate.
The EV certificate has been compiled into the
shim
binary and has been signed by Microsoft.
This feature is fully supported on Oracle Linux 7 update 3.
If you have previously enabled Secure Boot while it was
available under technology preview, you must ensure that the
shim
, grub2
and
kernel
packages are updated as an atomic
operation if you intend to upgrade the system. If these packages
are not all updated, the Secure Boot process may break and must
be disabled until a full system upgrade is complete.
Features that are currently under technology preview when using UEK R4u2 are described in Oracle Linux Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 2.
Features that are currently under technology preview when using UEK R3QU7 are described in Oracle Linux Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 3 Quarterly Update 7.
For the RHCK, the following features are currently under technology preview:
Systemd:
Importd features for container image imports and exports
File Systems:
DAX (Direct Access) for direct persistent memory mapping from an application. This is under technical preview for the ext4 and XFS file systems.
Block and object storage layouts for parallel NFS (pNFS).
SCSI layout for parallel NFS (pNFS), including syupport for both client and server configurations.
OverlayFS remains in technical preview.
btrfs file system. Oracle supports btrfs with UEK R3 and UEK R4.
Kernel:
Heterogeneous memory management (HMM).
Usernamespace (security features for isolating Linux containers from the host).
10GbE RoCE Express for RDMA.
ocrdma
and
libocrdma
packages for RDMA over
RoCE.
No-IOMMU mode virtual I/O feature.
Networking
Support for a Cisco proprietary User Space Network
Interface Controller in UCM servers provided in the
libusnic_verbs
driver
Cisco VIC Infiniband kernel driver that provides similar functionality to RDMA on proprietary Cisco architectures.
Trusted Network Connect.
Single-Root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) in the
qlcnic
driver.
nftables
and
libnftnl
network filtering and
classification functionality
Storage
LVM2 support for RAID-level takeover (striped RAID4, linear RAID1 and mirror RAID1)
Multi-queue I/O scheduling for SCSI
(scsi-mq
). This functionality is
disabled by default.
The plug-in for the libStorageMgmt API used for storage array management. The libStorageMgmt API is now fully supported, but the plugin is under technology preview.
DIF/DIX for data integrity checking on SCSI devices other than certain, specified native HBA and storage hardware. Oracle supports DIF/DIX with UEK R3 and UEK R4.
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 4 (UEK R4) 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 R4 will remain unchanged in all subsequent updates to the initial release. UEK R4 contains changes to the kernel ABI relative to UEK R3 that require recompilation of third-party kernel modules on the system. Before installing UEK R4, verify its support status with your application vendor.

/boot
Is On
a btrfs SubvolumeThis chapter describes the known issues for Oracle Linux 7 Update 3.
Note that additional issues specific to the kernel that you are using may also be present. If you are using the default UEK R4u2, please see the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 2 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 Oracle Linux 7 Documentation Library.
The following sections describe issues that might be encountered during installation.
During installation, if you select Encrypt my data on the Installation Destination screen and then perform manual partitioning, the Encrypt check box is not shown as selected on the Manual Partitioning screen. This check box refers to encryption that you can configure on a file system type that supports encryption or on an LVM logical volume that contains the file system. If you click Modify, the Encrypt check box on the Configure Volume screen is shown as selected for the volume, meaning that the encryption will be applied at the level of the underlying block device.
For LVM, selecting Encrypt my data encrypts the LVM physical volume and all the logical volumes that it contains. If you do not select Encrypt my data, you can encrypt the logical volume by selecting the Encrypt check box on the Manual Partitioning screen or encrypt the physical volume by selecting the Encrypt check box on the Configure Volume screen.
For btrfs, encryption can only be applied to the block device
that contains the file system, including its subvolumes. For
example, enabling encryption for the /home
subvolume of a btrfs root file system implicitly enables
encryption for the root file system itself. You can only
select the
Encrypt check
box on the Configure Volume screen. As btrfs does not support
encryption at the file-system level, you cannot select the
Encrypt check
box on the Manual Partitioning screen for a btrfs file system.
Do not select the Encrypt
check box or a
BTRFS,
LVM, or
LVM Thin
Provisioning device type for
/boot
. The /boot
file
system must be configured on a standard partition and should
be of type ext4 or XFS.
When entering a password in the Disk Encryption Passphrase dialog, press Tab to move between the entry fields. You cannot use the mouse to select the fields.
Attempting to perform a network installation without
configuring a network interface to use DHCP to obtain its IP
settings or with static IP settings results in the error
Error in Installation Source
.
For example, if you use a feature such as a remote console or Lights-out management to access a boot ISO, the network configuration of the embedded server manager might not be available when you select the installation location. The workaround is to use the graphical installer to configure the network settings manually before configuring the installation location. (Bug ID 19047736)
When installing on an iSCSI disk, add either
ip=ibft
or
rd.iscsi.ibft=1
to the boot command line
and 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 HP 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)
The following sections describe issues that might be encountered
when upgrading from Oracle Linux 6 (_latest
)
to Oracle Linux 7 Update 3.
The libcgroup
package in Oracle Linux 7
does not include the cgconfig
and
cgred
control group services. To restore
these services on an upgraded system, install the
libcgroup-tools
package. (Bug ID 19177606)
The postupgrade scripts fail if a proxy is required to access Oracle Public Yum. (Bug ID 19169163)
The redhat-upgrade-tool-cli utility
requires that you install version 3.2.29-43.0.1 or later of
the yum
package on the Oracle Linux 6
system that you want to upgrade. If you use an earlier version
of the yum
package, the upgrade tool fails
with dependency errors. (Bug ID 18648783)
The daemons and features provided by the Red Hat Automatic Bug
Reporting Tool (ABRT) are not supported with 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 via the My Oracle Support portal or by telephone.
Pressing the Tab key to complete commands automatically in the bash shell works for some commands such as ls but not for other commands such as export. You can use the following workaround to enable autocompletion for all commands:
Remove the bash-completion
package:
# yum remove bash-completion
Run the complete -r command in the shell.
To make this command persistent, you could put it in
$HOME/.bashrc
.
(Bug ID 19248362)
If you enable the crashkernel=auto
kernel
parameter for UEK R3 to simplify Kdump configuration, both
dmesg output and
/proc/cmdline
show
crashkernel=
.
This is the expected behavior for the implementation, where
NNN
M@0M@0M
implies the auto
setting. The crashkernel=auto
parameter is
not supported for Xen.
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 laptops, 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 database
installation to fail or database services to crash.
By default, Oracle Linux 7 Update 3 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 3, 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
systemctl reboot to reboot the system. (Bug
ID 22224874)
The following error message indicates that IPv6 NAT is not
currently supported by firewalld
with UEK R3.
ERROR: ipv6 table 'nat' does not exist (or not enough permission to check)
(Bug ID 18504545)
If grubby is used to remove a kernel menu
entry from the GRUB 2 configuration, the value of the default
entry in /etc/grub2/grub.cfg
is incorrect.
The workaround is to set the value of
GRUB_DEFAULT
in
/etc/default/grub
to the correct entry and
use grub2-mkconfig to recreate
/etc/grub2/grub.cfg
, or use
yum or rpm to remove the
kernel packages. (Bug ID 19192278)
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 3 and you upgrade the RHCK
or UEK kernel, the following error is displayed:
grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template
When the system is rebooted, after the kernel update, the system boots to the old kernel.
Similarly, when upgrading from Oracle Linux 7 update 2 to Oracle
Linux 7 update 3, if the /boot
directory is
hosted on a btrfs subvolume, the system boots to the old Oracle
Linux 7 update 2 kernel after the upgrade is complete.
The workaround to this problem is to use
grub2-mkconfig to recreate
/etc/grub2/grub.cfg
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:
# grep -P "submenu|^menuentry" /boot/grub2/grub.cfg | cut -d "'" -f2
From the listing, select the kernel entry that you wish to run
as the default kernel and set this entry as the default using
the following command, substituting menu entry
title
with the title of the kernel entry that you
identified in the listing:
# grub2-set-default "menu entry title
"
You can use the grub2-editenv list command to
check that the saved_entry
has been updated
with the selected kernel menu title.
Reboot and use uname -a to check that the correct kernel is running when the system is rebooted.
(Bug ID 22750169)
Installing the tex-fonts-hebrew
package fails
unless you first install all texlive*
packages. (Bug ID 19059949)
The following sections describe issues that might be encountered when using InfiniBand devices.
To configure Internet Protocol over InfiniBand (IPoIB):
Edit the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ib
configuration file, where N
N
is
the number of the interface. The following example shows
the configuration for the interface
ib0
:
DEVICE=ib0 TYPE=InfiniBand ONBOOT=yes DHCP_HOSTNAME="myhost.mydom.com" BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.100.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes IPV6INIT=no CONNECTED_MODE=no NAME=ib0
Stop the NetworkManager service:
# systemctl stop NetworkManager
Start the RDMA service:
# systemctl start rdma
Bring up the interface:
# ifup ibN
(Bug ID 19150870)
The IPoIB driver supports the use of either connected mode or
datagram mode with an interface, where datagram mode is the
default mode. Changing the mode of an InfiniBand interface by
echoing either connected
or
datagram
to
/sys/class/net/ib
is not supported for UEK R3. It is also not possible to change
the mode of an InfiniBand interface while it is enabled if you
are running UEK R3.
N
/mode
To change the IPoIB mode of an InfiniBand interface on a UEK R3 system:
Edit the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ib
configuration file, where N
N
is the number of the interface:
To configure connected mode, specify
CONNECTED_MODE=yes
in the file.
To configure datagram mode, either specify
CONNECTED_MODE=no
in the file or
do not specify this setting at all (datagram mode is
enabled by default).
Before saving your changes, make sure that you have
not specified more than one setting for
CONNECTED_MODE
in the file.
To enable the specified mode on the interface, use the following commands to take down the interface and bring it back up:
#ifdown ib
#N
ifup ib
N
This issue is resolved in UEK R4.
(Bug ID 17479833)
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 UEK R3 does not support the QAT driver that allows cryptographic capabilities to be offloaded to QuickAssist hardware.
If you want to install MariaDB, you must deselect the MySQL repository. Otherwise, MySQL is installed even if you select only the MariaDB group. (Bug ID 22238684)
Running the multipath -ll command under UEK R3 produces messages such as the following:
zram0: No fc_host device for 'host
' zram0: No fc_host device for 'host
' zram0: No fc_remote_port device for 'rport--1:-1-0'
You can ignore these message as there is no effect on multipath
functionality. You can prevent the messages from occurring by
blacklisting the zram
device in
/etc/multipath.conf
, for example:
blacklist { devnode "^(ram|zram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*" }
Note that this issue is fixed for RHCK and UEK R4 u2 as
zram
support is compiled into separate kernel
modules that can be loaded as needed. The warning messages
reappear if the zram
kernel module is loaded
for either of these kernels.
(Bug ID 20300644)
The Network Priority cgroup subsystem
(net_prio
) is not currently supported for use
with UEK R3. Attempting to use the module with UEK R3 results in
error messages such as the following:
modprobe: FATAL: Module netprio_cgroup not found mount: special device cgroup does not exist.
(Bug ID 18966564)
After upgrading from Oracle Linux 7 update 2 to Oracle Linux update 3, or when running UEK R3 on Oracle Linux 7 update 3, network interfaces configured for IPv6 may not be brought up by Network Manager and errors appear in the system log, similar to the following:
<error> platform-linux: do-add-ip6-address[2: fe80::210:e0ff:fe5f:920c]: failure 22 (Invalid argument) <error> platform-linux: do-add-ip6-address[5: fd00:1:1:24::456]: failure 22 (Invalid argument)
It is possible to manually add the IPv6 address to the interface using the ip addr add command.
This issue is apparent regardless of whether IPv6 is configured statically or assigned dynamically via DHCP.
The workaround for this issue is to disable Network Manager for interfaces where IPv6 must be configured for an interface. To disable Network Manager for an interface you may do either of the following:
Edit the network script for the interface in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-
and add the parameter dev
NM_CONTROLLED=no
.
For example:
# echo "NM_CONTROLLED=no" >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno4
Or, add a keyfile
section to
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
and list the unmanaged device. For example, the section in
the file may look as follows:
[keyfile] unmanaged-devices=interface-name:eno4
You can, alternately, specify unmanaged devices by MAC address. For example:
[keyfile] unmanaged-devices=mac:00:10:e0:5f:90:a1;
(Bug ID 24848072)
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)
The creation of Oracle Linux 7 containers fail when the root
filesystem (/container
) is hosted on an NFS
share. RPM fails to set capabilities while attempting to install
some packages. For instance, when attempting to create an Oracle
Linux 7 update 2 container, the installation fails while
installing the iputils
package:
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 update 1 container.
This issue occurs on both NFSv3 and NFSv4.
Oracle Linux 6 containers are unaffected.
(Bug ID 25024258)
The /etc/init.d/oracleasm script fails if
SELinux is in Enforcing
mode. This interface
is deprecated. Instead, use the global oracleasm userspace tool
installed in /usr/sbin/oracleasm to run any
oracleasm operations while SELinux is enabled.
(Bug ID 18513404)
Oracle Linux 7 guests are supported for both hardware virtualization (HVM) and hardware virtualization with paravirtual drivers (PVHVM) on Oracle VM 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 2.
Per-CPU allocation fails when the kvm_intel
module is loaded with UEK R3. Messages such as the following are
logged:
kvm_intel: Could not allocate 48 bytes percpu data PERCPU: limit reached, disable warning
There is no current workaround for UEK R3. (Bug ID 18459498)
At boot time, systemd
fails to load the
autofs4
and ipv6
modules
and errors such as the following are logged:
systemd[1]: Failed to insert module 'autofs4' systemd[1]: Failed to insert module 'ipv6'
There is no current workaround for UEK R3. (Bug ID 18470449)
xfs_copy fails to copy a file system under UEK R3 if the device sector size is greater than 512 bytes. (Bug ID 19267663)
The ip and iproute commands included with Oracle Linux 7 Update 3 include support for MACsec network devices. The module for this driver is included with the RHCK but is not included in either UEK R3 or UEK R4. The commands to set or view MACsec features are only functional when used with the RHCK. (Bug ID 24614549) .
Where VxLANs are configured for both IPv4 and IPv6 on the same host, there may be issues on UEK R4u2, due to the inability to bind the VxLAN tunnel on the same port and due to the way in which IPv6 sockets lists for IPv4 traffic as well. A patch has been applied in the RHCK, but the patch is not available in UEK R4u2.
To allow both versions of VxLAN to co-exist on the same system
running Oracle Linux 7 update 3 when using UEK R4, enable the
bindv6only
system-wide socket option before
bringing up the IPv6 VxLAN interface. You can disable the
bindv6only
system-wide socket option once the
interface is online:
Enable the bindv6only
system-wide socket
option:
# sysctl -w net.ipv6.bindv6only=1
Bring up the IPv6 interface, for example:
# ip link set vlt2
up
Disable the bindv6only
system-wide socket
option once you are certain that the IPv6 interface is up:
# sysctl -w net.ipv6.bindv6only=0
(Bug ID 24579830)

You can download a full Oracle Linux 7 Update 3 installation media image from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud at http://edelivery.oracle.com/linux. You can also obtain the latest Oracle Linux 7 packages from the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) and the Oracle 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 the Oracle Yum configuration. To explore the channels that are available to you on ULN, login to http://uln.oracle.com/ and view the Channels option. To view the Oracle Yum repositories available for Oracle Linux 7, visit http://yum.oracle.com/oracle-linux-7.html.
Oracle Public Yum does not provide equivalent repositories for some channels that are available on ULN. These channels provide non-open source packages.
If you are installing the update on a system on which you have previously installed the Oracle-supported OFED packages, see the following sections for instructions on how to update these packages during the upgrade:
Section 4.2.2.1, “Installing Oracle Linux 7 Update 3 from ULN if the Oracle-Supported OFED Packages Are Already Installed” for instructions on how to install the update from ULN.
Section 4.2.2.2, “Installing Oracle Linux 7 Update 3 from Public Yum if the Oracle-Supported OFED Packages Are Already Installed” for instructions on how to install the update from Public Yum.
UEK R4 Update 2 is the default boot kernel for fresh installations of Oracle Linux 7 but the UEK R3 kernel remains available if you need to continue to use this. For more information, see the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 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 Oracle Public
Yum, upgrade to the latest UEK release as follows:
Upgrade all packages on the system, including 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 3 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 3 under the following conditions:
The system meets the minimum installation requirements for Oracle Linux 7 as described in Section 1.1, “System Requirements and Limits”.
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.
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 may fail or the resulting upgrade may not function as expected.
General instructions on how to perform an upgrade are covered in Upgrading an Oracle Linux System in the Oracle Linux 7 Installation Guide. A summary of steps specific to the update for this release is provided below:
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
channel or
ol6_latest
repository to be updated.
Install the required upgrade packages (specified version or later):
redhat-upgrade-tool-0.7.47-1.0.1.el6.noarch.rpm preupgrade-assistant-el6toel7-0.6.59-5.0.1.el6.noarch.rpm preupgrade-assistant-el6toel7-data-0.20161013-1.el6.noarch.rpm preupgrade-assistant-2.1.10-6.0.1.el6.noarch.rpm preupgrade-assistant-tools-2.1.10-6.0.1.el6.noarch.rpm preupgrade-assistant-ui-2.1.10-6.0.1.el6.noarch.rpm
Obtain the latest versions of these packages from ULN (in
the ol6_x86_64_addons
channel), or from
Oracle Public Yum (in the ol6_addons
repository).
Run the preupg command to perform and upgrade assessment:
# preupg
Examine the results in
/root/preupgrade/result.html
to make sure
that there are not any items that have failed or need
attention.
Run the redhat-upgrade-tool-cli command to perform the upgrade:
# redhat-upgrade-tool-cli --network=7.3 --instrepo=OL7_repo_url
\
--debuglog=/tmp/upgrade.log --cleanup-post
Replace OL7_repo_url
with the URL
of the repository where the Oracle Linux 7 update 2 packages
are hosted.
Reboot the system to start the upgrade process.
The following sections describe how to install or upgrade the
OFED packages provided by Oracle, including how to replace the
default OFED packages from Red Hat that are present on a system
that you have upgraded to Oracle Linux 7 or that you have
installed from the Oracle Linux 7 full installation DVD image,
the ol7_x86_64_latest
channel on ULN, or the
ol7_latest
repository on Oracle Public Yum.
For instructions for installing or upgrading OFED packages with UEK R4 u2, see the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 2 Release Notes. This is the default kernel.
The following sections describe different procedures for installing or upgrading OFED packages with UEK R3.
