You can install Oracle Linux 7 on x86-64 systems with up to 2048 logical CPUs and 64 TB of memory. The theoretical upper limit is 5120 logical CPUs and 64 TB of memory, but Oracle has not tested this configuration. A minimum of 2 logical CPUs and 1 GB of memory per logical CPU is recommended. Although the minimum disk space required for installation is 1GB, a minimum of 5 GB is recommended.
The following table describes the maximum file size and maximum
file system size for the
btrfs
,
ext4
, and
XFS
file
systems. File system limitations are affected by kernel versions
and features, and by the architecture of the system where Oracle
Linux is installed. The values depicted here are estimates based
on the known variables that might affect the maximum theoretical
value that can be achieved. The theoretical values might be
higher than those depicted here, and the actual achievable
values might be below the values that are shown, depending on
hardware and the kernel version used.

The limits for the
ext4
file system that are
described here are higher than recommended and might prove
unstable. If you plan to work with systems where you are intend
to work towards using higher file system sizes or file sizes, it
is recommended that you use either the
btrfs
or
XFS
file system.
The maximum supported size for a bootable logical unit number (LUN) is 50 TB. GPT and UEFI support are required for LUNs that are larger than 2 TB.
The maximum size of the address space that is available to each process is 128 TB.
Oracle Linux 7 Update 5 ships with the following kernel packages:
kernel-3.10.0-862.el7
Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK).
kernel-uek-4.1.12-112.16.4.el7uek
Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 6 (UEK R4u6), which is the default kernel.
The Oracle Linux release is tested as a bundle as shipped on the installation media image. When installed from the installation media image, the minimum kernel version supported is the one included in the image. Downgrading kernel packages is not supported, unless recommended by Oracle Support.
The kernel source code for the shipped kernel is available after the initial release through a public git source code repository at https://oss.oracle.com/git/?p=linux-uek.git .
Table of Contents
This section describes new features and changes in Update 5 for Oracle Linux 7. For details of the new features and changes in the initial release of Oracle Linux 7, see the Oracle Linux 7 Release Notes .
The following file systems features, bug fixes, and enhancements are included in this update.
Starting with Oracle Linux 7 Update 4,
btrfs
is deprecated in RHCK. Note that
btrfs
is fully supported with UEK R4.
The following installation and upgrade features, bug fixes, and enhancements are included in this update:
livemedia-creator includes sample kickstart file for UEFI systems. The livemedia-creator utility now includes a sample kickstart file that can be used for UEFI systems.
New
mount
command for assigning block devices.
Kickstart now includes a new
mount
command, which enables you to assign block devices as
mounts during an installation. The
mount
command assigns a mount point to
a specified block device within a file system. You can
also specify the
--reformat
option with
the
mount
command to reformat a block
device.
New
network
kickstart command option for binding a
device configuration file to a MAC address.
Use the new
--bindto=mac
option with
the
network
kickstart command to
specify the MAC address (
HWWADDR
)
parameter instead of the default
DEVICE
parameter in the device's
ifcfg
file.
Specifying this option binds the device configuration to
the MAC address instead of the device name.
Because the
--bindto
option is
independent of the
network --device
kickstart option, it is applied to the
ifcfg
file, regardless of whether the
device was specified in the kickstart file by its name,
link
, or
bootif
.
Support for in-place upgrade from RHEL Linux 6 to RHEL Linux 7.
You can now perform an in-place upgrade from Red Hat
Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 to RHEL 7 by using the
Preupgrade Assistant
utility. The
utility checks for any issues prior to the actual upgrade
process and additionally provides scripts for the Red Hat
Upgrade Tool.
The following changes are specific to RHCK. For more information, refer to latest versions of the release notes for Oracle Linux Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 in the Oracle Linux 7 Documentation library.
For security reasons, the automatic loading of the Datagram
Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) kernel modules through the
socket layer has been disabled by default. This change ensures
that userspace applications are not able to maliciously load
any modules. However, you can explicitly load DCCP modules by
using
modprobe
. Note that the automatic
loading of DCCP modules is also not allowed on UEK releases.
MySQL Community packages are not included on the provided ISO in this release. This change ensures that the ISO size is appropriate for use on typical DVD-ROM media. The MySQL Community 5.7, MySQL Community 5.6, and MySQL Community 5.5 packages continue to be available on the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) and the Oracle Linux yum server.
You can install MySQL Community packages directly from ULN or
the Oracle Linux yum server by enabling the appropriate channel
or repository. For example, you would enable the
ol7_MySQL57
repository on the Oracle yum
server to install the MySQL Community 5.7 packages as follows:
# yum-config-manager -\\-enable ol7_MySQL57
The following networking features, bug fixes, and enhancements are included in this update:
Control switch for offloading VXLAN and Geneve tunnels added to RHCK.
This change to the
ethtool
utility can
only be used with drivers that support this functionality,
such as the new Geneve driver in the latest RHCK. A new
control switch in the utility can be used to enable or
disable offloading of VXLAN and Geneve tunnels to network
cards.
Geneve driver version updated to 4.14. The updated version the Geneve driver includes a number of bug fixes and enhancements from the previous version.
Search capability for
IPTABLES_SYSCTL_LOAD_LIST
modifications expanded to
/etc/sysctl.d
.
The search capability for
IPTABLES_SYSCTL_LOAD_LIST
modifications
has been expanded to include the
systctl.d
directory. Previously, only
the
/etc/sysctl.conf
file was searched
for changes. This enhancement ensures that any
user-provided files in
/etc/sysctl.d/
are correctly accounted for when the
iptables
service restarts.
VXLAN updated to version 4.14. The updated version of the Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) feature includes a number of bug fixes and enhancements from the previous version.
Starting with Oracle Linux 7 Update 5, the setup package provides and sources environment settings in a defined order that overrides any unpredictable environment settings. This change is especially useful in situations where multiple scripts changed the same environment setting.
The following security features, bug fixes, and enhancements are included in this update:
Libreswan updated to version 3.23. This version of the Libreswan software includes bug fixes and improvements from the previous version.
nss
version updated to 3.34.
This version of the
nss
package
includes bug fixes and improvements from the last version.
SCAP workbench updated to version 1.1.6.
This version of the SCAP workbench
(
scap-workbench
) utility includes bug
fixes and improvements from the previous version.
SELinux supports NNP policy for
systemd
services.
In this update, the
selinux-policy
packages contain a policy for
systemd
services that use the No New Privileges (NNP) security
feature. Also introduced is the
nnp_nosuid_transition
policy capability
that enables SELinux domain transitions under NNP or
nosuid
if
nnp_nosuid_transition
is allowed
between the old and new contexts.
For example, the following rule describes how this capability is allowed for a service:
allow init_t fprintd_t:process2 { nnp_transition nosuid_transition };
In addition, the distribution policy now contains the
m4 macro
interface. This interface can be
used in SELinux security policies for services that use the
init_nnp_daemon_domain()
function.
SSLv3 disabled in
mod_ssl
.
To improve security for SSL/TLS connections, support for
SSLv3 in the default configuration for the
httpd
mod_ssl
module has been disabled. This change
also restricts the use of certain cryptographic cipher
suites.
Only fresh installations of the
mod_ssl
package are affected. Users can change their existing SSL
configuration manually, as required.
Using OpenSCAP to generate remediation scripts for use with Ansible. The OpenSCAP scanner can be used to generate remediation scripts into Ansible playbook format. This capability assists with the integration of configuration compliance into an existing Ansible workflow. After generating an Ansible playbook, you can then customize it with the desired values.
The following server and services features, bug fixes, and enhancements are included in this update:
Ability to remotely launch
dbus
applications in GNOME.
In this update, GNOME includes a feature that provides
users with the ability to remotely launch
dbus
-using applications, for example
over SSH.
This improvement also fixes a bug that existed in RHEL 6 and RHEL 7 (up through 7.4) that caused leftover processes to remain in the system after exiting a session.
chrony
updated to version 3.2.
This version of
chrony
includes bug
fixes and improvements from the previous version.
CUPS configuration enhancement. You can now configure the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) to use only Transport Layer Security (TLS) v1.2 ciphers.
D-Bus updated to version 1.10.
This version of
dbus
includes bug fixes
and improvements from the previous version.
squid
package includes
kerberos_ldap_group
helper.
The
kerberos_ldap_group
helper is a
reference implementation that supports Simple
Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) and Generic
Security Services API (GSSAPI) authentication to an LDAP
server.
Tuned updated to version 2.9.0. This version of the Tuned utility includes bug fixes and improvements from the previous version.
The following storage features, bug fixes, and enhancements are included in this update:
DIF/DIK (T10 P1) support added for specified hardware. In Oracle Linux 7 Update 5, the SCSI T10 DIF/DIX is fully supported on hardware that has been qualified by the vendor, provide that the vendor also provides full support for the particular host bus adapter (HBA) and storage array configuration. Note that DIF/DIX is not supported on other configurations such as for use on a boot device or a virtualized guest.
Support for DIF/DIX is in technology preview for any HBAs and storage arrays that are not qualified and are not fully supported by the vendor. To determine whether DIF/DIX is supported by a particular hardware vendor, refer to that vendor's support information for the latest status.
smartmontools
support on NVMe devices added.
The
smartmontools
utility program is
used to monitor Nonvolatile Memory Express (NVMe) devices
(in particular, Solid-state Drive (SSD) disks) with the
Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System.
The following virtualization features, bug fixes, and enhancements are included in this update:
Hosts and guests can use GPU devices simultaneously.
Starting with this update, both hosts and guests can use
Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) devices at the same time.
Note that this feature requires the
vfio_mdev
module, which is not
available in UEK at the time of this release.
libvirt
updated to version 3.9.0.
This version of the
libvirt
utility
includes bug fixes and improvements from the previous
version.
QEMU updated to version 1.5.3-152. This version of QEMU includes many bug fixes, including important security fixes and a large number of KVM integration improvements.
Features that are currently under technology preview when using UEK R4u6 are described in Oracle Linux Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 6 .
For RHCK, the following features are currently under technology preview:
Systemd: Importd features for container image imports and exports.
File Systems:
Block and object storage layouts for parallel NFS (pNFS).
DAX (Direct Access) for direct persistent memory mapping from an application. This is under technical preview for the ext4 and XFS file systems.
ima-evm-utils
package, which provides
utilities for labeling file systems and verifying the
integrity of the system at run time.
OverlayFS remains in technical preview.
SCSI layout for parallel NFS (pNFS), including support for both client and server configurations.
Kernel:
Heterogeneous memory management (HMM).
No-IOMMU mode virtual I/O feature.
Networking:

nftables
and
libnftnl
network filtering and
classification functionality.
Single-Root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) in the
qlcnic
driver.
Support for a Cisco proprietary User Space Network
Interface Controller in UCM servers provided in the
libusnic_verbs
driver.
Trusted Network Connect support.
Storage:
Multi-queue I/O scheduling for SCSI
(
scsi-mq
). This functionality is
disabled by default.
Plug-in for the
libStorageMgmt
API
used for storage array management. The
libStorageMgmt
API is now fully
supported, but the plug-in is under technology preview.
You can find additional information about technology preview items that are in this release at http://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/7.5_release_notes/technology-previews .
Oracle Linux maintains user-space compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which is independent of the kernel version that underlies the operating system. Existing applications in user space will continue to run unmodified on the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 (UEK R4) and no re-certifications are needed for RHEL certified applications.
To minimize impact on interoperability during releases, the Oracle Linux team works closely with third-party vendors whose hardware and software have dependencies on kernel modules. The kernel ABI for UEK R4 will remain unchanged in all subsequent updates to the initial release. UEK R4 contains changes to the kernel ABI relative to UEK R3 that require recompilation of third-party kernel modules on the system. Before installing UEK R4, verify its support status with your application vendor.
Table of Contents
This chapter describes issues that are fixed in Oracle Linux 7 Update 5.
Note that additional issues specific to the kernel that you are using might also be resolved. If you are using the default UEK R4u6, please see the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 6 Release Notes . If you are using an alternate UEK release or update, please refer to the appropriate release notes for this kernel version, available as part of the Oracle Linux 7 Documentation Library .
An issue that changed the default behavior of OpenSSH so that
login records such as
/var/run/utmp
and other
files with the SSH client's host name were not updated after an
installation or upgrade has been fixed. (Bug ID 26286750)
This update includes the MegaRAID_sas v7.x. driver on installation media, which resolves an issue that prevented certain systems with the RAID controllers based LSI SAS3500 and LSI SAS3700 chips (which depend on the megaraid_sas v7.x driver) from booting after an installation. Affected systems included, but were not necessarily limited to the Intel® Xeon® E3 v5, Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8100, Intel® Xeon® Gold 6100, Intel® Xeon® Gold 5100, Intel® Xeon® Silver 4100 and Intel® Xeon® Bronze 3100 families of processors (formerly known as Skylake).

This chapter describes the known issues for Oracle Linux 7 Update 5.
Note that additional issues specific to the kernel that you are using might also be present. If you are using the default UEK R4u6 please see the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 6 Release Notes . If you are using an alternate UEK release or update, please refer to the appropriate release notes for this kernel version, available as part of the Oracle Linux 7 Documentation Library .
The following issues that might be encountered during installation.
Attempting to perform a network installation without
configuring a network interface to use DHCP to obtain its IP
settings or with static IP settings results in the error
Error in Installation Source
.
For example, if you use a feature such as a remote console or Lights-out management to access a boot ISO, the network configuration of the embedded server manager might not be available when you select the installation location. The workaround is to use the graphical installer to configure the network settings manually before configuring the installation location. (Bug ID 19047736)
When installing on an iSCSI disk, add either
ip=ibft
or
rd.iscsi.ibft=1
to the boot command line
and specify at least one MBR or GPT-formatted disk as an
installation target. Otherwise, the installation fails with
the error message
No valid boot loader target device
found
. (Bug ID 22076589)
If you have not applied a Thin Persistence license to an HP 3PAR storage array, installation fails to create a file system on a thin provisioned virtual volume (TPVV). This license is required to support the low-level SCSI UNMAP command for storage reclamation. If you do not have a suitable license, the workaround is to use a fully provisioned virtual volume (FPVV) instead of a TPVV. (Bug ID 22140852)

The following are known package conflicts for packages distributed by Oracle for Oracle Linux 7 through ULN or the Oracle Linux yum server.
In this release, a conflict between the
rdma-core
and
infiniband-diags
packages exists.
The conflict occurs when installing the
oracle-ofed-release
package, as RPM detects
the conflict and attempts to install
rdma-core-*
packages instead of RDMA, which
results in additional errors related to dependencies.
To avoid the conflict, use the
‐‐exclude=rdma-core*
yum option
when performing an install or upgrade of the OFED packages and
install the
yum-plugin-priorities
package
from the
ol7_optional_latest
yum repository
on the Oracle Linux yum server. See
Section 6.2, “Oracle-Supported OFED Packages”
for more information. (Bug ID 26309256)
The
dovecot-devel.i686
and
dovecot-devel.x86_64
packages in the
ol7_x86_64_optional_latest
ULN channel
conflict. Attempting to install both packages results in a
transaction check error:
Transaction check error: file /usr/include/dovecot/config.h conflicts between attempted installs of dovecot-devel-1:2.2.10-7.el7.i686 and dovecot-devel-1:2.2.10-7.el7.x86_64
There are bitsize differences between the identified file. You may only install one of these packages on the same system at once. (Bug ID 25057633)
A conflict between the
ipa-server-dns.x86_64
package and the
freeipa-server-dns
package in the
ol7_x86_64_latest
ULN channel exists in
this release. The
.x86_64
version of the
ipa-server-dns
package has been superseded
by a
.noarch
package, starting with Oracle
Linux 7 Update 3.
To avoid the conflict, exclude the
ipa-server-dns.*.x86_64
package in your yum
configuration. See
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E52668_01/E54669/html/oln-dispkgup-uln.html
in the
Oracle Linux Administrator's Guide for

The following file systems related issues pertain to Oracle Linux 7 Update 5.
Using
btrfs send
on a large deduped file
results in a soft lockup or out-of-memory issue. This problem
occurs because the
btrfs send
operation
cannot handle a large deduped file containing file extents
that all point to one extent, as these types of file
structures create tremendous pressure for the
btrfs
send
operation.
To prevent this issue from occurring, do not use
btrfs send
on systems with less than 4 GB
of memory. (Bug ID 25306023)
Freeze and unfreeze operations that are performed across multiple threads on any supported file system can cause the system to hang and the kernel to panic. This issue is the result of a race condition that occurs when the unfreeze operation is triggered before it is actually frozen. The resulting unlock operation attempts a write operation on a non-existent lock, which results in a kernel panic. (Bug ID 25321899)
The way in which quota groups (
qgroups
)
reserve space can result in issues with leaks. Some of these
leaks are caused by rewriting to dirty ranges, resulting in a
"pwrite64: Disk quota exceeded" error. (Bug ID 22483655)
The count for exclusive references is incorrect after cloning a file between two subvolumes. This issue is related to quota groups and the way in which some code is implemented. (Bug ID 22456419)
Operations that trigger a quota rescan or those that disable the quota on a mounted file system cause a kernel oops message when attempting to unmount the file system. This issue can cause the system to hang. (Bug ID 22377928)
The removal of shared extents, where quota group
(
qgroup
) accounting is used, can result in
a kernel oops message. This issue occurs when inaccurate
results are obtained during a back reference walk, due to
missing records when adding delayed references. (Bug ID
21554517)
While it is invalid for a file system to load an inode with a
negative
i_size
, it is possible to create a
file with a negative
i_size
and append to
it. However, doing so causes an integer overflow in the
routines underlying writeback, which results in the kernel
locking up. (Bug ID 25565527)
A hang occurs with the
ext4
file system
during the dynamic expansion of an inode's size when using the
inode's
i_extra_size
field. (Bug ID
25718971)
If the orphaned inode list is corrupted, the inode might be
processed repeatedly, which results in a system hang. For
example, if the orphaned inode list contains a reference to
the bootloader inode,
ext4_iget()
, returns
a bad inode, it results in a processing loop that can hang the
system. (Bug ID 24433290)
All
xfs
file systems that are created by
using the Oracle Linux 7 Update 4 and later Oracle Linux 7
installers have
d_type
support enabled
automatically. These files systems are formatted with the
ftype=1
option. The UEK R3 kernel is
incompatible with this option and therefore does not boot on
systems that have been installed with the Oracle Linux 7
update 4 or a later version installer. This problem occurs
when the default file system formatting is selected because
the UEK R3 kernel cannot mount any
xfs
file
system that is created by specifying
ftype=1
.
Note that upgrades are unaffected because previous updates of
Oracle Linux 7 formatted disks use the
ftype=0
option. However, when using UEK R3
on Oracle Linux 7 Update 4 and later, be aware that you must
explicitly
set the
ftype=0
option when formatting the disk
with XFS.
When performing a kickstart installation, if you intend to use
UEK R3 on the system, you can manually specify alternate file
system options for formatting. If you want to continue to use
XFS with UEK R3, you must explicitly set the formatting option
to
ftype=0
in your kickstart configuration.
(Bug ID 26176688)
While it is invalid for a file system to load an inode with a
negative
i_size
, it is possible to create a
file in this manner. In the case where a buffer appends to the
file, an integer overflow in the routines underlying writeback
result in the kernel locking up. Note that a direct append
does not cause this behavior. (Bug ID 25565490)
During an
xfs_fsr
process on extents that
are generated by speculative preallocation, the code that
determines whether all of the extents fit inline miscalculates
because the
di_nextents
call that is used
does not account for these extents. This results in corruption
of the in-memory inode, and ultimately the code attempts to
move memory structures using incorrectly calculated ranges.
This causes a kernel panic. (Bug ID 25333211)
The daemons and features provided by the Red Hat Automatic Bug
Reporting Tool (ABRT) are not supported in Oracle Linux. ABRT
packages and associated files, such as
libreport
, are included in the distribution
to satisfy package dependencies, but the features within these
packages are not supported. For technical assistance, contact
Oracle Support by accessing the My Oracle Support portal or by
telephone.
After upgrading from Oracle Linux 7 Update 4, the
libvirtd
process displays a warning message
during startup. The message is similar to:
libvirtd ... warning : virQEMUCapsInit:1211 : Failed to get host CPU cache info libvirtd ... warning : virLXCDriverCapsInit:85 : Failed to get host CPU cache info
This warning does not occur with a fresh install. You can safely ignore this warning. (Bug ID 27700583)
An Oracle Linux 7 KVM guest using the LSI MegaRAID SAS ISCSI controller is limited to 7 virtual disks. Although KVM guests can have up to 8 ISCSI virtual disks, the LSI MegaRAID SAS controller uses the first slot for the ISCSI Initiator, leaving the 7 remaining slots for virtual disks.
The workaround for this issue is to use the
megasas
controller instead of the
lsi
controller when creating ISCSI virtual
disks. For example, change
-device lsi
to
-device megasas
, as shown in highlighted text
in the following example:
# /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -machine accel=kvm -m 8192 -smp 8 \
-drive file=/path/OracleLinux-7.5-x86_64.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=disk \
-device ide-hd,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=disk,bootindex=0 -device lsi,id=lsi0 \
-drive file=/path/disk1.img,format=raw,if=none,id=drive_image1 \
-device scsi-hd,id=image1,drive=drive_image1,bus=lsi0.0 \
...
# /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -machine accel=kvm -m 8192 -smp 8 \
-drive file=/path/OracleLinux-7.5-x86_64.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=disk \
-device ide-hd,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=disk,bootindex=0 -device megasas,id=lsi0 \
-drive file=/path/disk1.img,format=raw,if=none,id=drive_image1 \
-device scsi-hd,id=image1,drive=drive_image1,bus=lsi0.0 \
...
(Bug 27681238)
If you enable the
crashkernel=auto
kernel
parameter for UEK R3 to simplify Kdump configuration, both
dmesg
output and
/proc/cmdline
show
crashkernel=
.
This behavior is expected for the implementation, where
NNN
M@0M
@0M
implies the
auto
setting. The
crashkernel=auto
parameter is
not supported for Xen. (Bug ID 17616874)
If
/boot
is hosted on a
btrfs
subvolume, GRUB 2 is unable to
correctly process the
initramfs
and
vmlinuz
pathnames. This problem occurs when
you update or install a new kernel and
grubby
attempts to update the GRUB 2 configuration. In the case where
you are running a fresh installation of Oracle Linux 7 Update 5,
and you upgrade the RHCK or UEK kernel, the following error is
displayed:
grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template
When the system is rebooted after the kernel update, the system boots to the old kernel.
Similarly, when upgrading from Oracle Linux 7 Update 4 to Oracle
Linux 7 Update 5, if
/boot
is hosted on a
btrfs
subvolume, the system boots to the old
Oracle Linux 7 Update 4 kernel after the upgrade is complete.
The workaround for this problem is to use
grub2-mkconfig
to regenerate the
/etc/grub2/grub.cfg
file immediately after
the kernel has been installed or upgraded, for example:
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Obtain a listing of the kernel menu entries in the generated configuration as follows:
# grep -P "submenu|^menuentry" /boot/grub2/grub.cfg | cut -d "'" -f2
From the listing, select the kernel entry that you want to run
as the default kernel and set this entry as the default using
the following command, substituting
menu entry
title
with the title of the kernel entry that you
identified in the listing:
# grub2-set-default "menu entry title"
You can use the
grub2-editenv list
command to
check that the
saved_entry
has been updated
with the selected kernel menu title.
Reboot and use uname -a to check that the correct kernel is now running.
(Bug ID 22750169)
Installing the
tex-fonts-hebrew
package fails
unless you first install all
texlive*
packages. (Bug ID 19059949)
The following are issues that you might encounter when using InfiniBand devices.
Kdump might fail on Oracle Linux 7 Update 5 if the Oracle Dual Port QDR InfiniBand Adapter M3 Firmware version 2.31.5350 is installed.
To prevent this issue from occurring, update the Oracle Dual Port QDR InfiniBand Adapter M3 Firmware version to at least 2.31.5350. (Bug ID 26351183)
You might see the following warning messages if you use the ibportstate disable command to disable an InfiniBand CA or router port:
ibwarn: [2696] _do_madrpc: recv failed: Connection timed out ibwarn: [2696] mad_rpc: _do_madrpc failed; dport (Lid 38) ibportstate: iberror: failed: smp set portinfo failed
You can safely ignore these warnings. (Bug ID 16248314)
UEK R3 does not support the QAT driver that allows cryptographic capabilities to be offloaded to QuickAssist hardware.
If
RemoveIPC=yes
is configured for
systemd
, interprocess communication (IPC) is
terminated for a non-system user's processes when that user logs
out. This setting, which is intended for laptops, can cause
software problems on server systems. For example, if the user is
a database software owner such as
oracle
for
Oracle Database, this configuration can cause database
installation to fail or database services to crash.
By default, Oracle Linux 7 Update 5 configures
RemoveIPC=no
in
/etc/systemd/logind.conf
to prevent
systemd
from terminating IPC. However, if you
have touched this file before updating your system to Oracle
Linux 7 Update 5, the update installs the new version of the
file as
/etc/systemd/logind.conf.rpmnew
and
does not set
RemoveIPC=no
in
/etc/systemd/logind.conf
. To avoid database
crashes, set
RemoveIPC=no
in
/etc/systemd/logind.conf
and run
systemctl reboot
to reboot the system. (Bug
ID 22224874)
The creation of Oracle Linux 7 containers fails when the
root
file system
(
/container
) is hosted on an NFS share. The
problem occurs because the
iputils
package in
Oracle Linux 7 releases, (Updates 4 and 5) is built to use the
Linux file extended attributes
[xattr(7)] security
capabilities(7)
. The NFS protocol does not support
these file capabilities, so the
iputils
package might not be installed into an NFS files system. For
example, when attempting to create an Oracle Linux 7 Update 4
container, the installation fails while installing the
iputils
package, producing the following
error:
Error unpacking rpm package iputils-20121221-7.el7.x86_64 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/bin/ping: cpio: cap_set_file error: iputils-20121221-7.el7.x86_64: install failed
Similar issues are seen when attempting to install the
initscripts
and
systemd
packages while creating an Oracle Linux 7 Update 3 container.
This issue occurs on both NFSv3 and NFSv4.
Oracle Linux 6 containers are not affected. (Bug ID 25024258)
Oracle Linux 7 guests are supported for both hardware virtualization (HVM) and hardware virtualization with paravirtual drivers (PVHVM) on Oracle VM Release 3. Oracle Linux 7 guests in a paravirtualized domain (PVM) on Oracle VM or other Xen-based hypervisors are not supported.
Oracle Linux 7 guests of any type are not supported on Oracle VM Release 2. (Bug IDs 18712168, 18667813, 18266964)
If Kdump is set to an
ssh
target on an Oracle
Linux 7 Update 5 PVHVM guest, running on Oracle VM Release
3.4.4, Kdump fails to connect to the guest operating system.
This issue is caused by the
kdump
service
failing to start on the Oracle Linux 7 Update 5 guest operating
system.
To workaround this issue, on the guest virtual machine, manually
start the
kdump
service after the operating
system boots up using:
# kdumpctl start
(Bug ID 27654392)
The
hypervkvpd
and
hypervvssd
services fail to start if the
Hyper-V packages are at version
0-0.29.20160216git.el7
. This issue occurs on
Oracle Linux 7 guests that have the UEK R4 kernel running on a
Windows Hyper-V Server.
To resolve the issue, downgrade the package version for the
following packages to
0-0.26.20150402git.el7
:
hyperv-daemons
hyperv-daemons-license
hypervfcopyd
hypervkvpd
hypervvssd
These userspace packages are available in both the
ol7_latest
yum repository and in the
ol7_x86_64_UEKR4
ULN channel.
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Stop any running Hyper-V services:
#systemctl stop hypervfcopyd.service#systemctl stop hypervkvpd.service#systemctl stop hypervvssd.service
Downgrade the packages:
# yum downgrade hyperv*
Restart the Hyper-V services:
#systemctl restart hypervfcopyd.service#systemctl restart hypervkvpd.service# systemctl restart hypervvssd.service
Modify your
yum
configuration file to
exclude the Hyper-V packages from future updates, as shown
in the following example:
# echo "exclude = hyperv*" >> /etc/yum.conf
Remember that you might want to remove this exclude at a later date when this issue is resolved.
(Bug ID 24745861)
The ip and iproute commands included with Oracle Linux 7 Update 5 include support for Geneve-capable devices. The module for this driver is included with the RHCK but is not included in UEK R4. The commands to set, add or view Geneve devices are only functional when used with the RHCK. (Bug ID 24652835) .
The Network Priority cgroup subsystem
(
net_prio
) is not currently supported for use
with UEK R3. Attempting to use the module with UEK R3 results in
error messages such as the following:
modprobe: FATAL: Module netprio_cgroup not found mount: special device cgroup does not exist.
(Bug ID 18966564)
When running UEK R3 on Oracle Linux 7 Update 4 and later,
NetworkManager
fails to set the default
gateway and route for network interfaces that are configured
with DHCP. This can result in network interfaces not behaving
correctly.
The workaround for this issue is to disable
NetworkManager
control over interfaces that
are configured for DHCP.
To disable
NetworkManager
for an interface,
edit the network script for the interface in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-
and add the parameter
dev
NM_CONTROLLED=no
, as
shown in the following example:
# echo "NM_CONTROLLED=no" >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno4
(Bug ID 26268996)
When running UEK R4 on Oracle Linux 7 Update 5, NetworkManager
fails to send a response to low priority networks with DHCP on
UEK R4. Networks with higher priority (link-local, IPv6
fe80:/64
routes) take priority over the low
priority networks. This behavior might result in the DHCPv6
server failing to send a response to a DHCP client on a lower
priority network, even if the network has another output device.
(Bug ID 27714775)
After upgrading to Oracle Linux update 5, or when running UEK R3
on Oracle Linux 7 Update 4 and later releases, network
interfaces that are configured for IPv6 might not be brought up
by
NetworkManager
.
Messages similar to the following appear in the system log:
<warn> platform-linux: do-add-ip6-address[2: fe80::210:e0ff:fe5f:920c]:
failure 22 (Invalid argument)
<warn> platform-linux: do-add-ip6-address[5: fd00:1:1:24::456]:
failure 22 (Invalid argument)
It is possible to manually add the IPv6 address to the interface by using the ip addr add command.
This issue is apparent, irrespective of whether IPv6 is configured statically, assigned dynamically through DHCP, or configured by using Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC).
The workaround for this issue is to disable
NetworkManager
for interfaces where IPv6 must
be configured for an interface. To disable
NetworkManager
for an interface, edit the
network script for the interface in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-
and add the parameter
dev
NM_CONTROLLED=no
, as
shown in the following example:
# echo "NM_CONTROLLED=no" >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno4
(Bug ID 24848072)
The network connection icon might report an active network
interface as being disconnected. This behavior is seen for the
root
user but not for other users.
Command-line utilities such as
ip link
and
ifconfig
report the correct state. (Bug ID
19060089)
By default, Oracle Linux 7 in graphical (GUI) console mode treats the hardware power button as equivalent to the ACPI "Sleep" button, which puts the system into low-power sleep mode. This behavior is specific to GNOME desktop environment.
In previous Oracle Linux versions, the hardware power button initiated a system shutdown. To make Oracle Linux 7 do the same, create a file named /etc/dconf/db/local.d/01-shutdown-button with the following content:
[org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power] button-power='shutdown'
Then run the following command:
# dconf update
You must log out of the desktop environment and log back in for the new setting to take effect. (Bug ID 25597898)
The Cockpit web interface might fail to display a subscription status when you click the Subscriptions menu option. An error similar to the following is returned:
Couldn't get system subscription status. Please ensure subscription-manager is installed.
There is no subscription-manager package available. (Bug ID 26581257)
Table of Contents
You can download a full Oracle Linux 7 Update 5 installation media image from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud at http://edelivery.oracle.com/linux . You can also obtain the latest Oracle Linux 7 packages from the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) and the Oracle Linux yum server.
You can install additional software for Oracle Linux 7 by subscribing to the different channels on ULN or by enabling the required repositories within your yum configuration.

To view the Oracle Linux yum repositories that are available for Oracle Linux 7, visit http://yum.oracle.com/oracle-linux-7.html .
The Oracle Linux yum server does not provide equivalent repositories for some channels that are available on ULN. These channels provide non-open source packages.
If you are installing an update on a system on which you have previously installed the Oracle-supported OFED packages, see Section 6.2.2, “Upgrading to Oracle Linux 7 Update 5 with the Oracle-Supported OFED Packages for UEK R4 installed” for instructions on how to update these packages during the upgrade.
UEK R4 Update 6 is the default boot kernel for fresh installations of Oracle Linux 7 Update 5. For more information, see the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 6 Release Notes .
For systems that are running UEK R3 or UEK R4 and are subscribed
to the
ol7_x86_64_UEKR3
or
ol7_x86_64_UEKR4
channel on ULN, or the
ol7_x86_64_UEKR3
or
ol7_x86_64_UEKR4
repository on the Oracle Linux
yum server, upgrade to the latest UEK release as follows:
Upgrade all packages on the system, including kernel packages.
# yum update
By default, the boot manager automatically enables the most recent kernel version so you do not need to change your GRUB configuration.
Reboot the system.
# systemctl reboot
Oracle Linux 7 Update 5 updates many major subsystems. To ensure that your updated systems function correctly, reboot them after updating.
It is possible to upgrade an Oracle Linux 6 system to Oracle Linux 7 Update 5 under the following conditions:
The system meets the minimum installation requirements for Oracle Linux 7 as described in Chapter 1, System Requirements and Limits .
The Oracle Linux 6 system has been completely updated from
the
ol6_x86_64_latest
channel or
ol6_latest
repository.
UEK R3 or UEK R4 has been installed on the system to be upgraded and is the default boot kernel. Upgrading from UEK R2 is not supported.
No Oracle product stack is present on the system.
Upgrading is supported only for systems that are installed with the Minimal Install base environment. If additional packages are installed from an alternative repository or channel, upgrade might fail or the resulting upgrade might not function as expected.
General instructions on how to perform an upgrade are covered in Upgrading an Oracle Linux System in the Oracle Linux 7 Installation Guide .
The following is a summary of steps that are specific to the update for this release:3290
Make sure that your system is completely up to date by using
the
yum update
command to update to the
latest Oracle Linux 6 release. The system must be subscribed
to the
ol6_x86_64_latest
channel or
ol6_latest
repository to be updated.
Install the required upgrade packages (specified version or later):

Obtain the latest versions of these packages from ULN (in
the
ol6_x86_64_addons
channel), or from
the Oracle Linux yum server (in the
ol6_addons
repository).
Run the preupg command to perform and upgrade assessment:
# preupg
Examine the results in
/root/preupgrade/result.html
to make sure
that there are not any items that have failed or need
attention.
Run the redhat-upgrade-tool-cli command to perform the upgrade:
#redhat-upgrade-tool-cli --network=7.5 --instrepo=\OL7_repo_url--debuglog=/tmp/upgrade.log --cleanup-post
Replace
OL7_repo_url
with the URL
of the repository where the Oracle Linux 7 Update 5 packages
are hosted.
Reboot the system to start the upgrade process.
The following information is specific to Oracle Linux 7 Update 5 and describes required steps for installing or upgrading the Oracle-supported OFED packages for UEK R4. Steps to upgrade an Oracle Linux system where the Oracle-supported OFED packages for UEK R4 are already installed is also described.
For instructions for installing or upgrading OFED packages with UEK R4 u6, see Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 6 Release Notes .
Before installing or upgrading the Oracle-supported OFED packages on Oracle Linux 7 Update 5, you must perform some preparation steps to ensure that the system is up to date and that any potential package conflicts can be avoided.
If you are installing or upgrading from ULN follow the steps described in Upgrade using ULN before continuing with the standard installations instructions described in Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 6 Release Notes .
If you are installing or upgrading from Oracle Linux yum server, follow the steps described in Upgrade Using the Oracle Linux Yum Server before continuing with the standard installation instructions described in Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 6 Release Notes .
Note that when you install the
oracle-ofed-release
or
oracle-ofed-release-guest
package, you
must use the
--exclude=rdma-core*
option
to avoid a potential package conflict. For example:
# yum install oracle-ofed-release --exclude=rdma-core*
The following procedures describe how to upgrade an Oracle Linux 7 system to Oracle Linux 7 Update 5 on a system where the Oracle-supported OFED packages for UEK R4 are already present.
The following procedure describes how to use ULN to perform an upgrade.
This procedure assumes that you have registered the system with ULN. See Registering an Oracle Linux 6 or Oracle Linux 7 System .
Subscribe the system to the
ol7_x86_64_optional_latest
,
ol7_x86_64_UEKR4_OFED
,
ol7_x86_64_UEKR4
, and
ol7_x86_64_latest
channels on ULN. By
default, the
ol7_x86_64_UEKR4
and
ol7_x86_64_latest
channels are
enabled when you register an Oracle Linux 7 system with
ULN.
Edit the
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf
file and add the following lines to the end of the file:
[ol7_x86_64_UEKR4_OFED] priority=20
Install the
yum-plugin-priorities
package from the
ol7_x86_64_optional_latest
channel:
# yum install yum-plugin-priorities
Apply Oracle Linux 7 Update 5 to the system and use the
--exclude=rdma-core*
option to avoid
a potential package conflict:
# yum update --exclude=rdma-core*
Any Oracle-supported OFED packages for UEK R4 that were
already present are updated from the
ol7_x86_64_UEKR4_OFED
channel. If you
do not have any of the OFED packages installed, you can
proceed to install the packages as described in the
installation instructions provided in
Unbreakable
Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 6 Release
Notes
.
The following procedure describes how to use the Oracle Linux yum server to perform an upgrade.
If you updated the server from Oracle Linux 6 or the
initial release of Oracle Linux 7, download the latest
version of the yum repository file that includes an
entry for the
ol7_UEKR4_OFED
repository as follows:
Move the existing yum repository file to a backup file, for example:
# mv /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol7.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol7.repo.bck
Download the latest Oracle Linux 7
yum
repository file the Oracle
Linux yum server, for example:
# wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol7.repo http://yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol7.repo
Edit the downloaded yum repository file and enable the
ol7_optional_latest
and
ol7_UEKR4_OFED
repositories. By default,
ol7_latest
and
ol7_UEKR4
are already enabled, but
you should enable these channels as well if they are not
already enabled.
Install the
yum-plugin-priorities
package from the
ol7_optional_latest
repository:
# yum install yum-plugin-priorities
To apply Oracle Linux 7 Update 5 to the system and use
the
--exclude=rdma-core*
option to
avoid a potential package conflict:
# yum update --exclude=rdma-core*
Any Oracle-supported OFED packages for UEK R4 that were
already present are updated from the
ol7_UEKR4_OFED
repository on the
Oracle Linux yum server. If you do not have any of the
OFED packages installed, you can proceed to install the
packages as described in the installation instructions
provided in
Unbreakable
Enterprise Kernel Release 4 Update 6 Release
Notes
.
