Hello Danesh, Happy to hear that you are done with the updates About Kenel updates : 1) Check if this kernel update will effect any of your loaded/running system driver (specially from my point of View RAID/SCSI) 2) IF it will not effect your driver , go for it 3) if you are not sure, do not go for it Do you have a firewall , what are the services that are running ? - that may help you to decide if you will go for the kernel updates I do not recommend Kernel Updates ! - But .... Good luck, and keep me posted if you needed anything Regards Samer Azmy <div>On 1/16/07, <a href="mailto:d.qureshi@mdx.ac.uk">d.qureshi@mdx.ac.uk</a> <<a href="mailto:d.qureshi@mdx.ac.uk">d.qureshi@mdx.ac.uk</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi Samer, This what I did to update all the erratas and packages on my system. I first ran up2date up2date to update the agent. I then ran up2date -u & The update took about 35 minutes to complete. I then rebooted the system. Now the system is show thats it running on RHEL AS 3 Taroon Update 8. The system was previously running on RHEL AS 3 Update 4. Also runnng the up2date did not change the kernel version at all. I am happy the system is updated now. Just one more thing can you advise me on this when I check the RHN for this system it is showing 12 erratas and 5 packages. The 12 erratas relate to kernel issues,bug fix,security. Do I need to apply these 12 erratas on my system? Regards, Danesh.. Hello, to apply all the errata or not , depends on your environment (But I recommend you do, IF it will not effect any of th running services compatibility) and I Recommend not to upgrade kernel (make package exclude for kernel packages) as this may have impact on some drivers on your drivers - like RAID drivers- Good Luck Keep me posted if you needed anything Regards Samer On 1/16/07, <a href="mailto:d.qureshi@mdx.ac.uk"> d.qureshi@mdx.ac.uk</a> <<a href="mailto:d.qureshi@mdx.ac.uk">d.qureshi@mdx.ac.uk</a>> wrote: > > Hi, > > I have gone to the RHN web page and selected one system then clicked on > manage.I can see > that there are 387 erratas and 286 packges listed for this system. > > Do I need to apply all 387 erratas listed to my system? > > Also do I need to apply all 286 packages listed to my system? > > Also if run the up2date command will it apply all 387 erratas to my > system? > > Thanks > > > Hello, > > from Shell you can > 1) yum update > > >From GUI/X-Windows > 1) you can run from shell up2date > 2) System Tools Menu --> Redhat Network (it is the same as if you launch > up2date) > > Good Luck > > Kind Regards > Samer Azmy > > > On 1/15/07, Mark Watts <<a href="mailto:m.watts@eris.qinetiq.com">m.watts@eris.qinetiq.com</a>> wrote: > > > > > > > Hello, > > > > > > I am currently running the following operating system on HP Proliant > > DL380 > > > G3 servers:- > > > > > > Red Hat Enterprise Linux As 3 (Taroon) > > > > > > How do I apply patches to this server and what is the latest taroon > > update > > > on RHEL AS 3? > > > > > > I do have a RHN account. > > > > Login to RHN, select your system and click the "update now" link, then > > "confirm" to schedule the updates to be applied next time your system > > checks > > in. > > > > Or run "rhn_check" from a root console to force a check in. > > > > Mark. > > > > -- > > Mark Watts BSc RHCE MBCS > > Senior Systems Engineer > > QinetiQ Trusted Information Management > > Trusted Solutions and Services Group > > GPG Public Key ID: 455420ED > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > rhn-users mailing list > > <a href="mailto:rhn-users@redhat.com"> rhn-users@redhat.com</a> > > <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhn-users">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhn-users</a> > > > > > > > > --Boundary_(ID_t33rrPu0Cvv/vJ21QZ48QQ) > Content-type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 > Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT > Content-disposition: inline > > Hello, from Shell you can 1) yum update From > GUI/X-Windows 1) you can run from shell up2date 2) System Tools Menu > --> Redhat Network (it is the same as if you launch up2date) Good > Luck > Kind Regards Samer Azmy <div><span > class="gmail_quote">On 1/15/07, Mark Watts > <<a href="mailto: <a href="mailto:m.watts@eris.qinetiq.com">m.watts@eris.qinetiq.com</a>"><a href="mailto:m.watts@eris.qinetiq.com">m.watts@eris.qinetiq.com</a></a>> > wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid > rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> > > Hello, > > I am currently running the following > operating system on HP Proliant DL380 > G3 servers:- > > > Red Hat Enterprise Linux As 3 (Taroon) > > How do I apply > patches to this server and what is the latest taroon update > > on RHEL AS 3? > > I do have a RHN > account.
