Register and Update Your Oracle Linux Operating
System
The Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) is a comprehensive resource for Oracle Linux support
subscribers, offering access to Linux software patches, updates and fixes, and information on
updates and support policies.
If you are a licensed Oracle customer with an active Oracle Linux support subscription, use
your Oracle Linux CSI (customer support identifier) number to register your server on ULN.
1.
If you do not already have one, create your ULN account. Use your email
address and CSI and create a password.
https://linux.oracle.com/register
Once your account is configured, use your email address and password to log in to ULN.
2.
Once you have an account, run the command below on the server as the root
user in a terminal window or on the command line:
uln_register
The uln_register wizard collects machine information and uploads it to Oracle.
Executing the above command chooses the default channel of ol6_<arch>_latest.
The _latest channels provide RPM Packet Managers (RPM) for all the packages in the
distribution, including those errata also provided in the _patch channels. The version of any
RPM downloadable on the _latest channels is always the most recent available. You can
subscribe to other channels using the web interface, after you have registered.

Network, see:
