Also, bear in mind that up2date will update you to the latest patch set of
OEL4, but not upgrade it to OEL5. That's a separate process that can't be done
through up2date.
Thanks,
Matt

okay, I'll bite, what version are you up to?
are you sure there is a later release?
Is it telling you to update up2date? Some of the latest stuff doesn't update
correctly unless you have the latest version of up2date running. At the
moment I can't remember what you do differently to update up2date, but if I
recall correctly it is NOT simply running the existing up2date.
Good luck. I wish I had better information for you. If I recall correctly I
had one of those "doh" moments where you realize the meaning of some
tortured english as a fifth language.

Hi all,
Well, I am new to Linux. Trying to upgrade our current OEL 4 to the latest
release. Opened an SR with Oracle Support where I was advised to run
up2date.
Configured, ran it till it said that no more packages required. Rebooted the
server. Checked Linux version and . it still shows the same version.
Conveyed that to support person, who told me that he wants to close the case
unless I have other issues than running up2date.
1. What do I need to do to update to the latest version?
2. Don't you think that this should be covered by Oracle support since
we're paying for it?
