How to use/select Ksplice patches for a specific Minor OL 5 release.

Roddy RodsteinMar 29 2013 — edited Mar 31 2013
Greetings,

We are supporting dev, DR and production EBS environments on OL 5.5 (x64 RHEL kernel) virtual machines on oracle vm. We would like to use Ksplice to patch the OL 5.5 (x64 RHEL kernel) running kernels, although Ksplice' s default behavior is to use the latest repository patches, with no way to filter for only minor release patches, i.e. if we uptrack-upgrade -y a OL 5.5 host, uptrack-upgrade applies "all" of the 5.9 kernel updates.

Could you share your tips and tricks to be able to use Ksplice for minor OL/RHEL releases, i.e. 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 6.1, 6.2, etc.....?

Thank you in advance for your support!

Respectfully,
Roddy
