Oracle Updates Enterprise Linux, kernel, rgmanager Patched

By Marc Handelman on October 23rd, 2009

ULN

Oracle Corporation (NasdaqGS: ORCL) has released the company’s latest Enterprise Linux  patches; updated in this round is both the version 4 kernel and the rgmanager. The  patch to the rgmanager packages apparently mitigates two, discrete bugs. The rgmanager is the Red Hat Resource Group Manager. The manager provisions the capability to create, execute  and manage HA Server applications in the all-to-likely event of system downtime events.  The updates to Oracle’s Enterprise Linux operating system are available via the company’s Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) site. Oracle Enterprise Linux is a variant of RED HAT, INC.’s (NYSE: RHT)  Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS. More information comprising release notes and links, et cetera,  after the jump.
