How do I upgrade from Oracle Linux 8.1 to 8.2 ?

Steve_74May 20 2020 — edited May 21 2020

I need to upgrade from OL 8.1 to 8.2 in my test laptop.

Current version info:

$ cat /etc/oracle-release

Oracle Linux Server release 8.1

$ uname -a

Linux localhost.localdomain 4.18.0-147.0.3.el8_1.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Nov 20 19:11:37 PST 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

What is the recommended way to upgrade OL 8.1 to 8.2 ?

Is it done with dnf or yum ?

I couldn't find the upgrade steps in the below documentation portal for 8.2

https://docs.oracle.com/en/operating-systems/oracle-linux/8/relnotes8.2/

Whenever Fedora releases a new version, they will have an article in Fedora magazine like below. I wish Oracle did something like this.

BTW I have a 19C test DB running in this machine. I guess, I have to 'relink' after the upgrade.
