4.4 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Level and update considerations
ESS 5.3.3 release is tested with Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 7.5 with Security Advisory RHSA-2019:0202(kernel),
RHSA-2019:0204(systemd) and RHSA-2018:3665(network manager).
Once errata kernel is applied it should show
kernel release: 3.10.0-862.27.1.el7.ppc64
Once errata systemd is applied it should show
systemd release: 219-57.el7_5.5.ppc64
Once errata network manager is applied it should show
network manager release: 1.12.0-8.el7_6.ppc64
User can update RHEL as needed to address fixes and security
updates. It is highly recommended to limit errata updates
applied to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system used
in the ESS solution to security errata or errata updates requested
by service. For more information visit Red Hat's solution article
on applying only security updates:
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/10021
4.5 Package location when shipped from factory
ESS 5.3.3 package when shipped from factory is located in /home/deploy
directory of the ESS Management Server (EMS) node. Review /home/deploy
directory of the EMS node for other support packages required for this
release.
