When you register a system with ULN, the system is by default subscribed
to the latest Channel. The Dell | Oracle Deployment Automation process
requires you to be subscribed to the Oracle Software Channel in addition
to the default latest Channel. Log on to linux.oracle.com to subscribe to
the Oracle Software Channel. You must be subscribed to these ULN
Channels to download the required oracleasm or ocfs2 RPMs automatically
using the Dell Automated Scripts.
Updating Your System Packages Using Red Hat
Network or Unbreakable Linux Network
Red Hat and Oracle periodically release software updates to fix bugs, address
security issues, and add new features. You can download these updates
through the Red Hat Network (RHN) service or the Unbreakable Linux
Network (ULN). See the Dell|Oracle Tested and Validated Configurations
website at dell.com/oracle for the latest, supported configurations before
updating your system software to the latest revisions.
