OSMH: OSMH Patching Does Not install the latest kernel

in Linux

Applies To:

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

OS Management Hub (OSMH)

Symptoms:

  • OSMH reports "Nothing to update" during patching operations.
  • Vulnerability reports indicate older kernel versions still active on the system.
  • $uname -r command shows the server is booted with an outdated kernel version.
  • Manual patching via yum update or dnf update after unregistering from OSMH successfully installs the latest kernel.
  • $ dnf repolist does not list ol8_uekr7 repository.

Cause:

The ol8_uekr7 (Oracle Linux 8 Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 7) repository is not enabled or attached via OSMH.Without this software source, the latest UEK7 kernel packages are not available to the instance during automated patching.
