Oracle Linux 7 Supported Kernels?

[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!

Thank you very much for the clarification.

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

Thanks!
