Oracle Linux 7 Supported Kernels?

Post by FLS_Nick »

I have two physical Linux machines that are Oracle Linux 7 with the following kernels:
  • 4.1.12-112.16.4.el7uek.x86_64
  • 4.14.35-1844.2.5.el7uek.x86_64
According to the KB article https://www.veeam.com/kb2804 these older kernels are not supported for Veeam agent for Linux 4.0.0.1961?

The article states that only up to kernel 3.10.0-1062.18.1.el7 is supported for OL7.0-7.7.

Is that correct?

Hi,

4.1.12-112.16.4.el7uek.x86_64 corresponds to UEK4U6
4.14.35-1844.2.5.el7uek.x86_64 corresponds to UEK5U1

Both are supported by v4:
Oracle Linux 6 (starting from UEK R1) – Oracle Linux 8 (up to UEK R6)
The KB article that you are referring to contains information for RHCK based Oracle Linux releases (Red Hat Compatible Kernel)

Thanks!

For future readers - here is a good article that breaks down Oracle kernels' versions VS their corresponding naming.

Thanks!
