The system must also have access to the Internet. -- If the Ksplice client is configured in online mode, it must be registered with the [Unbreakable Linux Network](https://linux.oracle.com). - - Clients can operate either in online or offline mode. This tutorial assumes that you have a Ksplice client that is configured in online mode. + - Run Oracle Ksplice commands + - Obtain information about updating your system from Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN). -If your system is not yet configured as an Oracle Ksplice client, see [https://docs.oracle.com/en/learn/oracle-linux-ksplice-enable](https://docs.oracle.com/en/learn/oracle-linux-ksplice-enable). - -> **Note:** Oracle Ksplice is automatically installed and enabled on Oracle Linux instances that are running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). You do not need to register these instances with ULN to be able to work with Ksplice. +### Prerequisites +- Minimum of a single Oracle Linux system +- Each system should have Oracle Linux installed and configured with: + - A non-root user account with sudo access + - Set up as a standard or enhanced Oracle Ksplice client + - Access to the internet
