ULN Steps for Linux 5.5: #up2date --register channel:ol5_x86_64_latest #up2date --nox --show-channels #up2date --nox --install oracle-validated Make sure the Linux firewall is turned off

Get A Package
# up2date --get <package>-<version>-<release>[.<arch>] For example: # up2date --get kernel-devel-2.6.18-164.2.1.0.1.el5.x86_64 This downloads the rpm to /var/spool/up2date Note that up2date stores package metadata in /var/spool/up2date where you can search for specific package versions, for example el5_x86_64_latest-all.* To get the extra packages from here http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/files/Enterprise_Linux/

ULN

Steps for Linux 5.5: 
#up2date --register
channel:ol5_x86_64_latest

#up2date --nox --show-channels
#up2date --nox --install oracle-validated

To register the box on ULN login to the Linux box and either use the gui for Unbreakable Linux Network or the command line below.

Then run oracle-validated to update the packages you need for the database installation.


#up2date --register 

follow the prompts 

then after it's registered did the following:

[root@r410i scripts]# up2date --nox --show-channels
ol5_i386_latest
ol5_x86_64_latest

#up2date --nox --install oracle-validated

There was a package dependency problem. The message was:

Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
glibc-headers 2.5-58 requires kernel-headers
glibc-headers-2.5-58 requires kernel-headers >= 2.2.1
oracle-validated 1.0.0-24.el5 requires kernel-headers
oracle-validated-1.1.0-7.el5 requires kernel-uek >= 2.6.32
oracle-validated 1.1.0-7.el5 requires kernel-uek-headers
python-libs-2.4.3-43.el5 conflicts with python < 2.4.3-32.el5

so I ran

"up2date --configure" and

select option "pkgSkipList" (typically this is option 19). 
Follow the instructions to clear the list and save the changes

Then I ran up2date oracle-validated again:


[root@r410i scripts]# up2date --nox --show-channels
el5_i386_latest
el5_x86_64_latest


#up2date --nox --install oracle-validated



Unresolvable chain of dependencies:

python-libs-2.4.3-43.el5                 conflicts with python < 2.4.3-32.el5

Removed the channel el5_i386_latest

[root@r410i scripts]# up2date --nox --show-channels
ol5_x86_64_latest

up2date --nox --install oracle-validated

Install kernel - I did this when I registered my server. It gave me the option to install it then. When i did the command below it said it was already installed.

1.mount Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 CD 1 or DVD
2.copy the rpms from <mount_point>/Server/oracle_updated to your system
3.install the required kernel using the rpm command, e.g:

# rpm -ihv kernel-2.6.18-128.0.0.0.1.el5.x86_64.rpm

i turned off the Firewall and the packages installed
