Should XI appliance be regularly updated with YUM?

Post by dlukinski »

Hello XI support

Should XI appliance be regularly updated with YUM?
- we've got ours last fall, curious if this is something we should start doing?

Thanks

Yes, it's always good to keep your server operating systems up to date with the latest updates. My servers are updated weekly and I do not experience any issues.

Try removing the immutable bit.

Code: Select all

chattr -i /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules
then update.
