I love talking about Oracle Ksplice and how cool a technology and feature it is. Whenever I explain to customers how much they can do with it, they often just can't believe the capabilities until I show them, in a matter of literally 5 seconds that it actually really -just works-.
During Oracle OpenWorld, we talked about it a lot, of course, and I wanted to show you how far back these ksplice updates can go. How much flexibility it gives a system administrator in terms of which kernel to use, how easy and fast it is, etc...
One of the main advantages of the ksplice technology is the ability for us to build these updates for many, many, yes many,... kernels and have a highly automated and scalable build infrastructure. When we publish a ksplice update, we build the update for -every kernel errata- released since the first kernel for that given major distribution release we started to support. What does this mean? Well, in the case of Oracle Linux 5, we currently support ksplice updates starting with Oracle Linux 5 update 4's kernel. The base-kernel being the Red Hat Compatible kernel : 2.6.18-164.el5 built, Thu Sep 3 04:15:13 EDT 2009. Yes, you read that right, September 2009. So during the lifetime of Oracle Linux 5, starting with that kernel, we publish ksplice updates for every kernel since then to today (and forward, of course). So no matter what errata kernel you are on, since -164, or major Oracle Linux 5 release, ksplice updates released after that date will be available for all those kernels. A simple uptrack-upgrade will take that running version up to the latest updates. While the main focus of the ksplice online updates is around CVEs, we also add critical fixes to it as well, so it's a combination of both.
So back to OL5.4. running uname shows 2.6.18-164.el5. After uptrack-upgrade -y it will say 2.6.18-398.el5 (which by the way is the latest kernel for OL5 for 2.6.18). You can see the output below, you can also see how many 'minutes' it took, without reboot, all current and active right away, and you can follow the timeframe by looking at the year right behind CVE. You will see CVEs from 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. Completely current.
Now, this can be done on a running system, to install ksplice and start using it, you don't need to reboot, just install the uptrack tools and you're good to go. You can be current with CVEs and critical bugs without rebooting for years. You can be current, even though you run an older update release of Oracle Linux, and you are not required to take new kernels with potentially (in the RHCK case) new features backported, introducing new code beyond just bugfixes, introduce new device drivers, which on a system that's stable, you don't necessarily want or need. So it's always good to update to newer kernels when you get new hardware and you need new device drivers, but for existing stable production systems, you don't really want or need that, nor do you necessarily need to get stuff from new kernels backported into older versions (again, in particular in the RHCK case) which will introduce a lot of change, I will show you a lines of code change in another blog entry. ksplice let's you stick with an older version, yet, anything critical and CVE related will be there for you and this for any errata kernel you start with since, in the OL5 case, update 4... Not just one update earlier, or but any kernel at any point in time.
If you do have periodic scheduled reboots, fine, install the kernel rpms so that the next time you reboot, it boots into the latest kernel, if you want, but you don't have to. You have complete flexibility if and when you need it.
I hope that the output of this and a follow up blog I will do on OL6 as a similar example, shows how scalable this is, how much use this has had, how many updates we have done and can do, how complex these updates are (not just a one liner change in some file) not just a one off for one customer case but scalable. Also, with tons of checks in place so that it works for kernel modules, so that it won't lock up your box, we validate that it's the right kernel, that these updates are safe to apply, etc, etc.. proven, 7+ years old technology. And completely supported by us. You can run your database or middleware software and run uptrack-upgrade while it's up and running and humming along... perfectly OK.
