Table of Contents
This chapter describes new features, major enhancements, bug fixes, and other changes that are introduced in Oracle Linux 8.6. These features generally apply to both the x86_64 and 64-bit Arm (aarch64) platforms, unless otherwise noted. For information that applies specifically to the Arm platform, see Chapter 7, Release-Specific Information for Oracle Linux 8.6 (aarch64) .
The following installation changes are introduced in Oracle Linux 8.6:
composer-cli replaced by weldr-client.
The
weldr-client
client replaces the
composer-cli
command-line interface
(CLI) for
osbuild-composer
. The new
client provides the same commands as
/usr/bin/composer-cli
, but the output
of commands that are run with the
--json
argument is different. Notable
changes include changes to the response body structure and
a change in the file permission value for the download
image and the download log, from
644
to
600.
Upgrades to Oracle Linux 8.6 installs the
weldr-client
package by default. Note
that the
composer-cli
package is still
available in the yum repository and can be installed by
using the command line and specifying the exact version to
install, for example:
sudo dnf install osbuild-composer composer-cli –%{version} –%{release}
Image Builder includes capability to customize file system partition on
LVM.
If you have more than one partition, this feature
enhancement enables you to create images with a customized
file system partition on LVM and then resize those
partitions at runtime. To do so, you would specify a
customized file system configuration in your blueprint and
then create images with the desired disk layout. The
default file system layout remains unchanged; also, if you
use plain images without file system customization, the
root
partition is resized by
cloud-init
.
Oracle Linux 8.6 includes Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 (UEK R6) on the installation image, along with the Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK). For new installations, UEK R6 is enabled and installed by default and is the default kernel on first boot.
Each UEK release is a heavily tested and optimized operating system kernel for Oracle Linux 8.1 and later releases. The kernel is developed, built, and tested on Arm (aarch64), Intel x86, and AMD x86 (x86_64). platforms. It is based on the mainline Linux kernel version 5.4. This release also updates drivers and includes bug and security fixes.
UEK releases also maintain compatibility with RHCK. Additional features are enabled to provide support for key functional requirements and patches are applied to improve performance and optimize the kernel for use on Oracle operating systems.
For more detailed information, see Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel: Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 Update 3 .
The following notable features, enhancements, and changes apply to the Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK) that is shipped with Oracle Linux 8.6 on the x86_64 platform.
For the latest information on this UEK release, see Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel: Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 Update 3 .
The Cisco FCoE HBA Driver,
fnic
1.6, driver
that is sourced from the upstream/inbox and available in newer
kernels, including UEK R5, UEK R6 and UEK R7 is no longer
supported by Cisco. Cisco provides a fully supported driver
that is tested on and compatible with Oracle Linux with UEK R5
or later on the Cisco software download page. The driver
package includes features not available in the upstream/inbox
driver such as NVMe support and multi-queue support.
Customers running Oracle Linux on Cisco servers must install the Cisco driver package to receive driver fixes, driver updates, new hardware support, and new feature support. See Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card Drivers for Linux Installation Guide for more information.
The
kexec fast reboot
feature is available
as a technology preview feature in Oracle Linux 8. This feature
significantly speeds up the boot process by enabling the
kernel to boot directly into the second kernel without having
to first pass through the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). To
use this feature, load the
kexec
module
first, then reboot the system.
The
--secontext
option of the
strace
utility has been enhanced to include
a mismatch parameter. This parameter enables you to print the
expected context, along with the actual context upon mismatch
only. The output is separated by double exclamation marks
(
!!
), with the actual context appearing
first, followed by the expected context.
Software Guard Extensions (SGX) is an Intel technology for protecting software code and data from disclosure and modification. The Linux kernel partially supports SGX v1 and v1.5; version 1 enables platforms by using the Flexible Launch Control mechanism to use the SGX technology.
The following software management features and enhancements are introduced in Oracle Linux 8.6:
New modulesync command for replacing certain workflows.
You cannot install modular packages in Oracle Linux 8.6 without
modular metadata. In previous releases, you could use the
dnf
command to download packages, and
then use the
createrepo_c
command to
redistribute those packages. With this enhancement, the
modulesync
command is introduced. This
command is used to ensure the presence of modular
metadata, which ensures package installability. The
command downloads
rpm
packages from
modules and then creates a repository with modular
metadata inside a working directory.
New --path option added to RPM.
In Oracle Linux 8.6, you can use the new
--path
option to query packages by specifying a file that is
currently not installed. This option is similar to the
existing
--file
option; however, the
new option matches packages solely based on the provided
path. Note that the file specified by that path does not
need to exist on disk.
The
--path
option can be useful when you
exclude all of the documentation files at installation time
by specifying the
--nodocs
option with
the
dnf
command. In this case, you can
opt to use the
--path
option to display
the owning package of such an excluded file. The
--file
option does not display the
package because the requested file does not exist.
The following shells and command-line interface (CLI) tools features and improvements are introduced in Oracle Linux 8.6:
lsvpd package updated to version 1.7.13.
The
lsvpd
package has been updated to
version 1.7.13. This update provides some bug fixes and
enhancements over the previous version.
net-snmp-cert gencert tool uses the SHA512 encryption algorithm instead of SHA1. The net-snmp-cert gencert tool has been updated to generate certificates by using SHA512 encryption algorithm. This change provides for increased security.
dnn and text modules now available in the opencv package.
The
dnn
module that contains the Deep
Neural Networks for image classification inference, as
well as the
text
module that is used
for scene text detection and recognition are now available
in the
opencv
package.
opencryptoki package updated to version 3.17.0.
The
opencryptoki
package has been
updated to version 3.17.0. This update provides some bug
fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
Capability for excluding certain network interfaces and IP addresses
when creating a rescue image.
The
EXCLUDE_IP_ADDRESSES
variable
enables you to ignore certain IP addresses, and the
EXCLUDE_NETWORK_INTERFACES
variable
enables you to ignore certain network interfaces when
creating a rescue image.
Oracle Linux 8.6 introduces the following features, enhancements, and changes to compilers and development toolsets.
Rust Toolset updated to version 1.58.1. This version of the Rust Toolset includes the following changes:
Rust compiler support has been added for the 2021
edition of the language, featuring disjoint capture in

Cargo now deduplicates compiler errors.
New open range patterns have been added.
Captured identifiers in format strings have been added.
LLVM Toolset updated to version 13.0.1. The LLVM Toolset has been updated to version 13.0.1. The following notable changes were made in this version of the tool:
Clang support added for guaranteed tail calls with
statement attributes in C++ and
attributemusttail
in C.
Clang support added for the
-Wreserved-identifier
warning, which
warns developers when using reserved identifiers in
their code.
The Clang
-Wshadow
flag now checks
for shadowed structured bindings.
The Clang
-Wextra
now implies
Wnull-pointer-subtraction
.
Location change for libffi’s self-modifying code. In this release, libffi’s self-modifying code takes advantage of a feature in the Linux kernel for creating a suitable file that is independent of any other file system. As a result of this change, libffi’s self-modifying code no longer depends on making part of the file system insecure.
Command for capturing glibc optimization data added.
You can use the new
ld.so
--list-diagnostics
command to capture data that
influences
glibc
optimization
decisions, such as IFUNC selection and
glibc-hwcaps
configuration, in a single
machine-readable file.
GCC Toolset updated to version 11.2. The GCC Toolsset has been updated to version 11.2. See Section 4.7, “GCC Toolset 11.2” for more information about these changes.

Oracle Linux 8.6 provides the GCC Toolset 11.2, which is an Application
Stream that is distributed in the form of a Software Collection
in the
AppStream
repository. The GCC Toolset
is similar to the Oracle Linux Developer Toolset. See
Section 4.6, “Compilers and Development Toolsets”
for
additional information about changes to compilers and developer
toolsets in this release.
GCC Toolset 11.2 is available as an Application Stream within
the
AppStream
repository, in the form of a
Software Collection.
To install this toolset, use the following command:
sudo dnf install gcc-toolset-11
If you previously installed this toolset, use the following command to upgrade to the latest version:
sudo dnf upgrade gcc-toolset-11
To run a tool from GCC Toolset 11, use the following command:
scl enable gcc-toolset-11 tool
The following command initiates a shell session, where tool versions from the GCC Toolset 11 take precedence over system versions of the same tools:
scl enable gcc-toolset-11 bash
Oracle Linux 8.6 includes the
container-tools:4.0
stable stream.
Oracle Linux 8.6 includes several feature changes and improvements for dynamic programming languages and web and database servers. Note that that this release also introduces several new and improved module streams:
php:8.0 module stream added.
The
php:8.0
module stream has been
added in Oracle Linux 8.6.
php:8.0

several bug fixes and enhancements over the 7.4 version,
including the following notable features:
New named arguments are order-independent and self-documented, and enable you to specify only required parameters.
New attributes enable you to use structured metadata with PHP’s native syntax.
New union types enable you to use native union type declarations that are validated at runtime instead of PHPDoc annotations for a combination of types.
Internal functions now more consistently raise an Error exception instead of warnings if parameter validation fails.
The Just-In-Time compilation has improved the performance.
The
Xdebug
debugging and productivity
extension for PHP have been updated to version 3. This
version introduces major functionality and configuration
changes over
Xdebug
version 2.

OCFS2 is fully supported with UEK R6 in Oracle Linux 8.6.
Samba utilities options renamed or removed in version 4.15. In version 4.15 of Samba, some utilities have been improved to ensure a consistent command-line interface. These changes include several renamed and removed options. To avoid any issues after an update to version 4.15 of Samba, you should review any scripts that use Samba utilities, and update them accordingly.
The following is a summary of the Samba changes that are introduced in this release:
Samba command-line utilities previously silently ignored unknown options, whereas now, these utilities consistently reject unknown options.
Many command-line options have a corresponding
smb.conf
variable for controlling the
default value. To identify whether a command-line option
has an
smb.conf
variable name, see
the associated manual pages for the specified utility.
Samba utilities now log to standard error
(
stderr
) by default. Use the
--debug-stdout
option to change this
behavior.
The
--client-protection=off|sign|encrypt
option has been added to the common parser.
The following options have been renamed in all utilities:
--kerberos
renamed
--use-kerberos=required|desired|off
--krb5-ccache
renamed
--use-krb5-ccache=
CCACHE
--scope
renamed
--netbios-scope=

DAX file system available as a Technology Preview for ext4 and XFS.
In this release, the DAX file system is available as a
Technology Preview for the ext4 and XFS file systems. DAX
enables an application to directly map persistent memory
into its address space. The system must have some form of
persistent memory available to use DAX. Persistent memory
can be in the form of one or more Non-Volatile Dual
In-line Memory Modules (NVDIMMs). In addition, a file
system that supports DAX must be created on the NVDIMMs;
the file system must be mounted with the
dax
mount option. Then, an
mmap
of a file on the dax-mounted file
system results in a direct mapping of storage into the
application’s address space.
NVMe/TCP available as a Technology Preview. NVMe over Fabrics TCP host and the target drivers are included in RHCK as a technology preview in this release.
Support for NVMe/TCP is already available in Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6.
The following high availability and clustering features are included in Oracle Linux 8.6:
pcmk_delay_base parameter accepts different values for different nodes.
You can now specify different values for different nodes
when configuring a fence device by using the
pcmk_delay_base parameter
. This
improvement enables a single fence device to be used in a
two-node cluster, with a different delay for each node,
which can prevent a situation where each node attempts to
fence the other node at the same time.
Capability added for specifying automatic removal of location constraint
following resource move.
A new
--autodelete
option has been
added to the
pcs resource move
command.
This option was previously only available as a Technology
Preview, but it is now fully supported. When you specify
this option, the location constraint that the command
creates is automatically removed after the resource has
been moved. When you use the
pcs resource
move
command, it adds a constraint to the
resource to prevent it from running on the node on which
it is currently running.
Detailed Pacemaker status display for internal errors available. If Pacemaker can not execute a resource or fence agent for some reason, such as when the agent is not installed or if there has been an internal timeout, the Pacemaker status displays now display a detailed exit reason for the internal error.
Support for special characters inside pcmk_host_map values added.
Support has been added to the
pcmk_host_map
property for special
characters inside
pcmk_host_map
values
by specifying a backslash (
\
) in front
of the value. For example, to include a space in the host
alias, you would specify
pcmk_host_map="node3:plug\ 1"
.
pcs suppport for OCF Resource Agent API 1.1 standard.
The
pcs
command now includes support
for OCF 1.1 resource and STONITH agents. Note that an OCF
1.1 agent’s metadata must comply with the OCF 1.1
schema. If an OCF 1.1 agent’s metadata does not comply
with the OCF 1.1 schema, the
pcs
considers the agent invalid and does not create or update
a resource of the agent unless you also specify the
--force
option. The
pcsd
web interface and
pcs
commands for listing agents omit
OCF 1.1 agents with invalid metadata from the listing.
An OCF agent that declares that it implements any OCF
version other than 1.1, or does not declare a version at
all, is validated against the OCF 1.0 schema. Validation
issues are reported as warnings, but is not necessary to
specify the
--force
option for those
agents when creating or updating a resource of the agent.
Oracle Linux 8.6 introduces several version updates to infrastructure and command-line tools, including the following features:
New bind9.16 package version 9.16.23 introduced.
The
bind
component version 9.16.23 is
introduced as alternative to version 9.11.36. This version
includes several new features, as well as some removed
features, including the following:
New Key and Signing Policy feature in DNSSEC.
New QNAME minimisation to improve privacy.
New
validate-except
feature added to
Permanent.
Negative Trust Anchors to temporarily disable DNSSEC validation.
Response policy zones (RPZ) have been re-factored.
New naming conventions for zone types. The primary and secondary zone types are now used as synonyms for master and slave
New supplementary YAML output mode for the dig , mdig , and delv commands.
Functionality for
filter-aaaa
has
been moved into separate
filter-a
and
filter-aaaa
plugins.
New zone type mirror support, per RFC 8806 .
The following features have been removed:
The
dnssec-enabled
option is removed;
DNSSEC is now enabled by default; the
dnssec-enabled
keywords are no longer
accepted.
The
lwresd
lightweight resolver
daemon and the
liblwres
light
resolver library have both been removed.
Bind component updated to version 9.11.36.
The
bind
component has been updated to
version 9.11.36. This version provides some bug fixes and
several enhancements, including the following:
The
lame-ttl
option has been improved
for better security.
A multiple threads bug affecting RBTDB instances has
been fixed and no longer results in assertion failure in
free_rbtdb()
.
ZONEMD RR type implementation updated to match RFC 8976.
Maximum supported number of NSEC3 iterations is reduced to 150; records with additional iterations are treated as insecure.
An invalid direction field in an LOC record has been fixed so that it no longer results in a failure.
nginx-mod-devel package added to nginx:1.20 module stream.
The
nginx-mod-devel
package has been
added to the
nginx:1.20
module stream
in this release. This package includes all of the
necessary files for building external dynamic modules for
nginx
, which includes RPM macros and
the
nginx
source code.
Oracle Linux 8.6 introduces the following networking features, enhancements, and changes:
CleanUpModulesOnExit firewalld global configuration option available.
This enhancement enables you to set the
CleanUpModulesOnExit
option to
no
to stop
firewalld
from unloading these kernel modules. Whereas, previously,
when restarting or shutting down
firewalld
, it recursively unloaded
kernel modules. As a result, other packages that were
attempting to use these modules or dependent modules
failed.
hostapd package added.
The
hostapd
package is available for
installation in Oracle Linux 8.6. However note that support for
hostapd
is limited to setting up an
Oracle Linux 8 host as an 802.1X authenticator on an Ethernet
network
only
. Other scenarios, such
as wireless access points or authenticators in wireless
networks, are currently not supported.
NetworkManager updated to version 1.36.0.
NetworkManager
has been upgraded to
version 1.36.0. This version of
NetworkManager
includes several
enhancements and bug fixes over the previous version, most
notably the following:
Reworking of how layer 3 configurations are handled.
This enhancement improves the stability, performance,
and memory usage of
NetworkManager
.
Support added for the
rd.znet_ifnames
kernel command line option on the IBM Z platform.
The additional of the
blackhole
,
unreachable
,
prohibit
route types.
NetworkManager
ignores routes
managed by routing services.
Improvements to the Wi-Fi Protected Access version 3 (WPA3) network security by enabling the hash-to-element (H2E) method when generating simultaneous authentication of equals (SAE) password elements.
The service now correctly handles replies from DHCP servers that send duplicate address or mask options.
The ability to turn off MAC aging on bridges has been added.
NetworkManager
no longer listens for
netlink
events for the
qdiscs
and
filters
traffic control objects.
Network bonds support for setting a queue ID for bond ports.
NetworkManager includes support for setting the number of receiving
queues (rx_queue) on OVS-DPDK interfaces.
You can use
NetworkManager
to configure
the
n_rxq
setting of Open vSwitch (OVS)
Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) interfaces. Use the
ovs-dpdk.n-rxq
attribute in
NetworkManager to set the number of receiving queues on
OVS-DPDK interfaces.
nftables framework includes support for nft set elements with attached
counters.
You can now configure the
nftables
framework by using the
nft
tool. The
kernel enables this tool to count the network packets from
a given source address with the statement
add
@myset {ip saddr counter}
. In this release, you
can count packets that match a specific criteria with a
dynamic set and elements with attached counters.
Restoring large nftables sets requires less memory.
The
nftables
framework has been
enhanced to require significantly less memory when
restoring large sets. The algorithm that prepares the
netlink
message is also improved. As a
result, restoring a set can use up to 40% less memory.
Oracle Linux 8.6 introduces the following security features, enhancements, and changes:
Audit updated to version 3.0.7.
The
audit
packages have been updated in
this release. The updated version of Audit includes
several changes and improvements, including the following:
Added
sudoers
to Audit base rules.
The
/etc/sudoers
and
etc/sudoers.d/
directories have been
added to Audit base rules, for example, the Payment Card
Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and the
Operating Systems Protection Profile (OSPP). This
improvement increases security by monitoring
configuration changes in privileged areas such as
sudoers
.
Added the
--eoe-timeout
option to the
ausearch
command and its analogous
eoe_timeout
option to
auditd.conf
file, which impacts how
ausearch
parses co-located events.
You can use these options to specify the end of the
event timeout to avoid problems with parsing co-located
events. The default value for the end of the event
timeout is set to two seconds.
Fix implemented for the
audisp-remote
plugin that previously used 100% of CPU capacity when
the remote location was not available.
fapolicyd framework packages updated to version 1.1.
Several improvements have been made in this update
release, including the ability to use the new
rules.d/
and
trust.d/
directories, the
fagenrules
script. In additional, some
new options have been added to the
fapolicyd-cli
command.
Libcap packages updated to version 2.48.
The
libcap
packages have been updated
to version 2.48. This update provides some bug fixes and
enhancements over the previous version.
Libreswan updated to version 4.5. Libreswan has been updated to version 4.5. This update provides some bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version, including added support for Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) for Labeled IPsec and childless initiation of IKE Security Association (SA).
libseccomp packages updated to version 2.5.2.
The
libseccomp
packages have updated to
version 2.5.2. This version provides several bug fixes and
enhancements over the previous version.
Libssh updated to version 0.9.6.
The
libssh
package has been updated to
version 0.9.6. In this version of Libssh, there are some
bug fixes, and other enhancements, including the
following:
Support added for multiple identity files, which are now
processed from the bottom to the top, as listed in the
~/.ssh/config
file.
Parsing of sub-second times in SFTP is fixed.
A regression for the
ssh_channel_poll_timeout()
function,
where it returned
SSH_AGAIN
unexpectedly,
is fixed.
A possible heap-buffer overflow after a key re-exchange is fixed
Support for diffie-hellman-group14-sha256 provided in crypto policies.
In Oracle Linux 8.6, you can use the
diffie-hellman-group14-sha256
key
exchange (KEX) algorithm for the
libssh
library in the Oracle Linux system-wide cryptographic
policies. This release additionally provides parity with
OpenSSH, which also supports the KEX algorithm;
libssh
has
diffie-hellman-group14-sha256
enabled
by defaul, but you can disable it by using a custom crypto
policy.
OpenSSH servers include support for drop-in configuration files.
Support for the the
include
directive
has been added to the
sshd_config
file,
which means you can now include configuration files in
another directory. This change makes it easier to apply
system-specific configurations on OpenSSH servers by using
automation tools, including the Ansible Engine. The new
behavior is also more consistent with the capabilities of
the
ssh_config
file. Also, drop-in
configuration files provide for easier organization of
different configuration files for different uses, for
example, for filter incoming connections.
pcsc-lite packages have been updated to version 1.9.5.
The
pcsc-lite
packages have been
updated to version 1.9.5. This version includes many
enhancements and bug fixes over the previous version.
Notable changes include fixes for memory leaks and
concurrency problems, as well as the following:
The pcscd daemon no longer automatically exits after inactivity when started manually.
The
pcsc-spy
utility provides support
for Python 3 and a new
--thread
option.
The
SCardEndTransaction()
function
has been improved for better performance.
The
poll()
function replaces the
select()
function. This function
allows for file descriptor numbers that are higher than
FD_SETSIZE
.
New --checksum option for verifying installed versions of SELinux policy
modules.
You can use the new
--checksum
option
of the
semodue
command to verify the
versions of installed SELinux policy modules. Previously ,
there was no simple way to verify that the installed
module is the same version as the module which was
supposed to be installed.
You can use the new semodule -l --checksum command to receive a SHA256 hash for the specified module, enabling you to compare it with the checksum of the original file, which is faster than reinstalling modules.
SCAP rules include warning message to configure Audit log buffer for
large systems.
SCAP rules now include a warning message to configure
Audit log buffer for large systems. The
xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_audit_basic_configuration
SCAP rule displays a performance warning that suggests
that users of large systems (where the Audit log buffer
that is configured by this rule) might be too small and
can override the custom value. The new warning also
describes the process for configuring a larger Audit log
buffer. This improvement enables users of large systems to
remain compliant and have their Audit log buffer set
correctly.
SCAP Security Guide updated to version 0.1.60. The SCAP Security Guide (SSG) packages have updated to version 0.1.60. Notable changes include the following:
The PAM stack now uses the authselect configuration for rules hardening.
Supported added for tailoring files that define profiles representing the differences between DISA STIG automated SCAP content and SCAP automated content (delta tailoring).
The
xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_enable_fips_mode
rule checks only whether FIPS mode has been enabled
properly. It does not guarantee, however, that system
components have undergone FIPS certification.
SSG capability for scans and remediations that detect home directories and interactive users. This enhancement adds OVAL checks and remediations that detect local interactive users in a system and their respective home directories. The SCAP Security Guide (SSG) suite can now safely check and remediate all related benchmark requirements, where previously, there was no robust solution for covering this gap by using the OVAL language.
OpenSCAP packages updated to version 1.3.6. The OpenSCAP packages have been updated to version 1.3.6. This version of OpenSCAP provides numerous enhancements and bug fixes, most notably the following:
Capability for providing local copies of remote SCAP
source data stream components by using the
--local-files
option has been added.
OpenSCAP accepts multiple
--rule
arguments on the command line for selecting multiple
rules.
OpenSCAP allows the skipping of evaluation for some
rules by using the
--skip-rule
option.
Restricting memory that is consumed by OpenSCAP probes
can be accomplished by using the
OSCAP_PROBE_MEMORY_USAGE_RATIO
environment variable.
OpenSCAP adds support for the OSBuild Blueprint as a remediation type.
OpenSCAP can read local files.
OpenSCAP includes the ability to consume local files
instead of remote SCAP source data stream components in
this release. You can now download and copy the remote
SCAP source data stream components to the target system
before performing the OpenSCAP scan and then provide them
to OpenSCAP by specifying the
--local-files
option with the
oscap
command. In previous releases,
you could not perform a complete evaluation of SCAP source
data streams that contained remote components on systems
without Internet access, which meant that OpenSCAP could
not evaluate some of the rules in the data streams because
the remote components had to be downloaded from the
Internet.
SSG support for /etc/security/faillock.conf file added.
Support for the
/etc/security/faillock.conf
file has
been added to SSG. This enhancement enables SSG to assess
and remediate the
/etc/security/faillock.conf
file for
the definition of
pam_faillock
settings. In addition, the
authselect
tool can be used to enable the
pam_faillock
module to ensure the
integrity of
pam
files. This change
causes the assessment remediation of the
pam_faillock
module to be more aligned
with the latest versions and best practices.
This
sos report update
command includes a new
--estimate-only
option that you can use to
approximate the disk space required for collecting an
sos report
from an Oracle Linux 8 server. Running the
sos report --estimate-only
command executes a
dry run of
sos report
and mimics all plugins
consecutively, as well as estimates disk size. Note that because
the final disk space estimation is approximate, it is
recommended that you double the estimated value.
This release includes support for using Windows Server 2022 as a guest operating system on KVM virtual machines (VMs).
Oracle Linux maintains user space compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) that is independent of the kernel version that underlies the operating system. Existing applications in user space continue to run unmodified on Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 (UEK R6), with no required re-certifications for RHEL certified applications.
To minimize the impact on interoperability across releases, the Oracle Linux team works closely with third-party vendors regarding hardware and software that have dependencies on kernel modules. The kernel ABI for a specified UEK release remains unchanged in all subsequent updates to the initial release. UEK R6 contains changes to the kernel ABI (relative to UEK R5) that require recompilation of third-party kernel modules on the system. Before installing UEK R6, verify its support status with your application vendor.
Table of Contents
This chapter describes known issues in Oracle Linux 8.6, for both the x86_64 and 64-bit Arm (aarch64) platforms. Issues that apply to a specific platform only are noted as such.
The following are known installation and upgrade issues for Oracle Linux 8.6.
The Oracle Linux 8.6 graphical installation program fails if you disable Kdump prior to selecting the disk encryption option during the installation process.
When this issue is encountered, the following traceback error is displayed:
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: Argument 1 does not allow None as a value
To prevent the issue from occurring, make sure to select the disk encryption option prior to disabling Kdump, as disabling Kdump first results in a failed installation.
(Bug ID 34113245)
The following
libstoragemgmt
packages are
not included in Oracle Linux 8.6:
libstoragemgmt-nfs-plugin-clibs-1.8.7-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
libstoragemgmt-nfs-plugin-1.8.7-1.el8.noarch.rpm
Consequently, if your Oracle Linux 8.5 system includes these packages, upgrading the system to Oracle Linux 8.6 fails.
To work around this issue, remove these packages from the system prior to upgrading to Oracle Linux 8.6.
(Bug ID 33545502)
The
libguestfs-benchmarking
and
lld-test
packages are not included in
Oracle Linux 8.6. Consequently, if your Oracle Linux 8.5 system includes these
packages, upgrading the system to Oracle Linux 8.6 fails.
To work around this issue, remove these packages from the system prior to upgrading to Oracle Linux 8.6. For example:
sudo dnf remove libguestfs-benchmarking lld-test
(Bug ID 34122488)
When upgrading from Oracle Linux 8.5 to Oracle Linux 8.6, with the appropriate Oracle Linux 8 repositories enabled, the following warning is emitted:
Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of pmlogger.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units.
This warning can be safely ignored, as the upgrade completes successfully.
(Bug ID 32852356)
When upgrading from Oracle Linux 8.5 to Oracle Linux 8.6, with the appropriate Oracle Linux 8 repositories enabled, the dnf upgrade command displays messages similar to the following during the upgrade or package installation process:
Running scriptlet: systemd-239-44.0.1.el8.x86_64 4550/4550 [/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/dnssec-trigger.conf:1] Line references path below legacy directory /var/run/, updating /var/run/dnssec-trigger → /run/dnssec-trigger; please update the tmpfiles.d/ drop-in file accordingly.

(Bug ID 32852433)
Attempting to perform a fresh installation of Oracle Linux 8.6 on an
Oracle 6.4 TB NVMe SSD device will fail. This issue occurs
because the
mkfs.xfs
command
cannot mount the file system. This failure is related to a
problem with the
xfsprogs
package
version that is in RHCK, with the root cause of the issue
being an NVMe SSD firmware bug.
To work around the issue, do not use the Oracle 6.4 TB NVMe SSD as a boot disk.
An alternative option is to install Oracle Linux 8.2 and then upgrade to Oracle Linux 8.6.
(Bug ID 32823840)
During a Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) installation of
Oracle Linux 8.6, the installer automatically enables the Ethernet over
USB network interface with the
bootproto=dhcp
and
ONBOOT=yes
parameters. This issue causes
the
NetworkManager
service to fail to
start.
To prevent this issue from occurring, or to resolve the issue if you have already encountered it, use one of the following workarounds:
Prior to installation, disable the
ONBOOT
parameter for the Ethernet over
USB network interface in the kickstart file, as follows:
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=enp0s20f0u8u3c2 --onboot=off --ipv6=auto
During installation, on the Network & Host Name screen, do not select the Connect automatically with priority check box to connect automatically on every reboot for the Ethernet over USB network interface.
If you have already encountered this issue, you can
resolve the issue after the installation by changing the
network configuration setting for the Ethernet over USB
network interface to
ONBOOT=no
, and
then rebooting the system.
(Bug ID 31888490)
If an alternate language is selected during an interactive installation using the text-based installer, you cannot progress through all of the steps in the installation wizard. The installation is blocked with [!] bullets for Software Selection and Installation Destination , irrespective of what is selected for these two options.
Note that this issue does not occur if you are performing an installation by using the default language selection of English or if you are using the graphical installation program.
(Bug IDs 30535416, 29648703)
There is a minor upstream usability error that applies to the
graphical installation program when configuring Kdump
settings. In the situation where you attempt to configure a
manual Kdump memory reservation, and you then set the memory
reservation value to an unacceptable value, the installer
allows you to click
Done
and then return to
the Installation Summary screen, without producing a warning
or error message.
When you select an unacceptable value, the installer resets the value to the last-known acceptable value that was entered or the installer sets the default minimum value of 512 MB. Note that this information is not displayed in the Installation Summary screen. Because an incorrect value cannot be stored for this parameter, the installation succeeds, even if incorrect information is entered.
This issue does not occur with the text-based installer, which correctly returns an error if you enter an unacceptable value, preventing you from continuing until you enter an acceptable value.
(Bug IDs 31133351, 31182708)
A minor usability error applies to the graphical installation program when configuring Kdump settings. If you manually change the default memory size that is reserved for Kdump, the new setting is not displayed when the screen is refreshed. Instead, only the values for the total system memory and usable system memory are displayed. Consequently, the limits for the parameter "Memory to be reserved (Mb)" become unknown for future Kdump configuration.
The default settings for Kdump memory reservation of
auto
is adequate as the kernel determines
what size to use when it boots
(Bug IDs 31133287 and 31182699)
A scriplet-related error similar to the following may be encountered when upgrading from Oracle Linux 8.5 to Oracle Linux 8.6 by using the dnf update command:

The previous error is emitted if you perform a Server with GUI
installation and then boot the server with RHCK, as this
installation method installs the kernel-dependent,
kmod-kvdo
package/module, which is a
different version in Oracle Linux 8.5 than it is in Oracle Linux 8.6.
This error does not occur if you install the Minimal Install base environment or if you boot the server with UEK R6.
The error can be safely ignored and is of no consequence, as
the
kmod-kvdo
package is successfully
installed during the upgrade process.
(Bug ID 31292199)
Attempting to register with the Unbreakable Linux Network
(ULN) in Oracle Linux 8.6 by running the
rhnreg_ks
command may fail if the
python3-rhn-virtualization-hosts
package is
installed on the system. This issue has been observed when the
libvirtd
service is not running.
To work around this issue, ensure that the
libvirtd
packages are installed on your
system and that the service is enabled and running prior to
registering with ULN by using the
rhnreg_ks
command.
(Bug ID 30366521)
During an upgrade from Oracle Linux 8.5 to Oracle Linux 8.6, with both the
ol8_baseos_latest
and
ol8_appstream repositories
yum repositories
enabled, a conflict between the
usbguard-1.0.0-8.el8.i686
and
usbguard-1.0.0-8.el8.x86_64
packages
occurs.
The following error is produced:
Problem: package usbguard-1.0.0-8.el8.x86_64 conflicts with usbguard provided by usbguard-1.0.0-2.el8.i686 - cannot install the best candidate for the job - problem with installed package usbguard-1.0.0-2.el8.i686 (try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
This conflict occurs because in Oracle Linux 8.5 the
usbguard-1.0.0-2.el8.x86_64
and
usbguard-1.0.0-2.el8.i686
packages did not
conflict with each other and could be installed together.
However, in Oracle Linux 8.6, these packages now conflict with each
other.
To work around this issue, remove the
usbguard-1.0.0-2.el8.i686
package from your
Oracle Linux 8.5 system prior to upgrading to Oracle Linux 8.6.
(Bug ID 34097708)
When upgrading a system to Oracle Linux 8.6, a dependency issue might
be encountered if the
beignet
package
exists on the system to be installed, as this package requires
an earlier version of the
clang-libs
package.
Because the
beignet
package is currently
not available for Oracle Linux 8.4 and later Oracle Linux 8 releases, this
particular issue is only encountered if you are upgrading from
Oracle Linux 8.3 or an earlier Oracle Linux 8 release to the latest release.
The workaround for this issue is to remove the
beignet
package from the system prior to
upgrading to Oracle Linux 8.6.
(Bug ID 31213935)
On new installations of Oracle Linux 8, the ULN registration wizard that presents the options to register with ULN and to use Oracle Ksplice is not displayed on first boot. This behavior differs from previous Oracle Linux releases, where you were presented with these options on the first boot after completing the installation.
As an alternative, you can register with ULN after the installation completes. For instructions, visit https://linux.oracle.com/ .
(Bug ID 29933974)
To successfully install Oracle Linux 8.6 on an Oracle VM VirtualBox
guest, where the graphical installation program is used and
the default installation of the
Server with
GUI
environment is set, the Oracle VM VirtualBox
guest is required to use the VMSVGA graphics controller and
must be configured with at least 64MB of memory.
Failure to set the graphics controller correctly can result in an installation where the graphical display is unable to start correctly.
The VMSVGA graphics controller is the default controller when you create a new guest by using Oracle VM VirtualBox 6.0, or later, for Linux guest operating systems. This issue is more likely to appear if you attempt to install over an existing guest that was created on an earlier Oracle VM VirtualBox release. Oracle recommends that you only attempt to install Oracle Linux 8 on a newly created VM in Oracle VM VirtualBox 6.0, or later.
(Bug ID 30004543)
If you remove the
container-selinux
package
from the system after installing Oracle Linux 8.6, the
selinux-policy-targeted
package might also be
removed.
When this problem occurs, you may also see an error message about being unable to load SELinux policy displayed.
To prevent the
selinux-policy-targeted
package from being removed from the system when removing the
container-selinux package
package, you can
specify the following syntax with the
dnf
remove
command:
sudo dnf remove container-selinux --setopt=exclude=selinux-policy-targeted
(Bug ID 32860334)
The
glusterfs-*.i686
packages are not
included in either Oracle Linux 8.5 or Oracle Linux 8.6. However, if you installed
the
glusterfs-*.i686
and
glusterfs-*.x86_64
packages on the system to
be upgraded in an earlier release, running the
dnf
update glusterfs*
command fails to upgrade the
packages to Oracle Linux 8.6.
The workaround for this issue is to first remove the
glusterfs-*.i686
packages from the system to
be upgraded, and then run the
dnf update
glusterfs*
command.
(Bug ID 30279840)
Installing the
libss
package might fail to
update if the
libss-devel
package is
installed on the system.
The workaround for this issue is to first remove the
libss-devel
package from the system and then
install the corresponding version of this package from the
Oracle Linux 8 Distro Builder developer repository
(
ol8_distro_builder
). Because the
ol8_distro_builder
repository is an
unsupported developer repository, it is recommended that you
only enable it for this particular installation action, rather
than enabling it globally. For example, you can run the
following command:
sudo dnf --enablerepo=ol8_distro_builder install libss-devel
(Bug ID 32005190)
Some options for configuring disk cache characteristics in the web console are currently not available when you are creating a new VM or before the installation starts. For disks that are already added to a VM or when adding a new disk to an already running system, these configuration options are available in the web console.
As an alternative solution, you can use the virt-manager CLI or a similar CLI to configure disk cache characteristics for a newly added disk before the installation begins, as well for disks that already exist in the VM.
Per Oracle recommendation, you should use Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager for more complex virtualization requirements. For more information, see https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualization/oracle-linux-virtualization-manager/ .
(Bug ID 30301271)
When booting an Intel-based Dell EMC PowerEdge Server, error messages similar to the following might be displayed if the Dell Active Power Controller (DAPC) setting is enabled in the BIOS:
kernel: ACPI Error: No handler for Region [SYSI] (0000000061df8ef3) [IPMI] (20190816/evregion-132) kernel: ACPI Error: Region IPMI (ID=7) has no handler (20190816/exfldio-265) kernel: ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PMI0._GHL due to previous error (AE_NOT_EXIST) (20190816/psparse-531) kernel: ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PMI0._PMC due to previous error (AE_NOT_EXIST) (20190816/psparse-531) kernel: ACPI Error: AE_NOT_EXIST, Evaluating _PMC (20190816/power_meter-743)
Note that this issue is encountered on both RHCK and UEK kernels.
The workaround for this issue is to disable the
apci_power_meter
kernel module as follows:
echo "blacklist acpi_power_meter" >> /etc/modprobe.d/hwmon.conf
After disabling the
apci_power_meter
kernel
module, reboot the system for the change to take effect.
For environments that do not require the DAPC feature, as an alternative workaround, you can disable the DAPC BIOS setting.
(Bug ID 32105233)
The Oracle Linux 8.6 installer does not recognize some Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controllers that are found in older Oracle Sun server models. If you attempt to install Oracle Linux 8 on these server models, the installer does not recognize the local disk and the installation fails. Examples of these server models include, but are not limited to, the following: Oracle Sun Fire X4170 M2 Server, Oracle Sun Fire X4170 M3 Server, Oracle Sun OVCA X3-2 Server, and the Oracle Sun X4-2 Server.
The following SAS controllers are removed from the
mpt2sas
driver in RHCK:
SAS2004, PCI ID 0x1000:0x0070
SAS2008, PCI ID 0x1000:0x0072
SAS2108_1, PCI ID 0x1000:0x0074
SAS2108_2, PCI ID 0x1000:0x0076

(Bug ID 29120478)
The following are known file systems issues in Oracle Linux 8.6.
The Btrfs file system is removed from RHCK in Oracle Linux 8, which means you cannot create or mount this file system when using this kernel. Also, any Btrfs user space packages that are provided are not supported with RHCK.
Support for the Btrfs file system is enabled in UEK R6. Starting with Oracle Linux 8.3, during an installation, you have the option to create a Btrfs root file system, as well as select Btrfs as the file system type when formatting devices.
For further details about these changes, see the following documentation:
For information about creating a Btrfs root file system during an installation, see Oracle ® Linux 8: Installing Oracle Linux .
For information about managing the Btrfs file system, see Oracle ® Linux 8: Managing Local File Systems .
For the latest information about other enhancements that have been made to Btrfs in UEK R6, see Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel: Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 Update 3 .
The OCFS2 file system is removed from RHCK in Oracle Linux 8, which means you cannot create or mount this file system when using this kernel. Also, OCFS2 user space packages that are provided are not supported with RHCK.
Note that support for OCFS2 file systems is enabled in UEK R6. For the latest information and other enhancements that have been made to OCFS2 in UEK R6, see Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel: Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 Update 3 .
If a system that is using the
ext4
file
system is repeatedly or frequently shut down, the file system
might become corrupted. Note that this issue is considered to
be a corner-case issue because it is difficult to replicate
it. The issue exists in the upstream code and proposed patches
are currently under review.
(Bug ID 27547113)
The following are known kernel issues in Oracle Linux 8.6.
The following errors might be displayed repeatedly when KVM guests are booting on 64-bit AMD hosts:
[ 12.474069] amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_register_ecc_decoder (err 0) [ 12.474083] amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_report_gart_errors (err 0) [ 12.852250] amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_unregister_ecc_decoder (err 0) [ 12.852297] amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_register_ecc_decoder (err 0) . . .
These errors occur because the module code for the kernel
erroneously returns
-EEXIST
for modules
that failed to load and are in the process of being removed
from the module list. The
amd64_edac_mod
module will not be loaded in a VM. These errors can be
ignored, as they do not impact functionality in any way.
This issue occurs on Oracle Linux 8 hosts that are running RHCK only and is not encountered on UEK R6 hosts.
(Bug ID 29853602)
A bug in the Oracle Linux 8 code causes Retropline support to not be
displayed in the output of the
modinfo -F
retpoline
command, even though the
CONFIG_RETPOLINE
flag is set to
Y
, for example:
/usr/lib/modules/4.18.0-80.el8.x86_64/kernel/sound/usb/usx2y/snd-usb-us122l.ko.xz
The
CONFIG_RETPOLINE=Y
flag is still
required to add and display Retpoline support. If the
parameter is enabled, the kernel builds with a retpoline
capable compiler.
For example, you would confirm whether the
CONFIG_RETPOLINE
flag is enabled by
searching the configuration file with the
cat
command:
cat /boot/config-5.4.17-2011.7.4.el8uek.x86_64 | grep RETPOLINE.
The output should be as follows:
CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y
(Bug ID 29894295)
Kdump might fail on some AMD hardware that is running Oracle Linux 8.6 with the default RHCK kernel. Impacted hardware includes the AMD EPYC CPU (codename Naples and Rome) servers.
To work around this issue, modify the
/etc/sysconfig/kdump
configuration file and
remove the
iommu=off
command-line option
from the
KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND
variable.
Then, restart the
kdump
service for the
changes to take effect.
Note that the issue does not occur on this particular hardware if you are running Oracle Linux 8.6 with UEK R6.
(Bug ID 31274238)
The new LVM
dm-writecache
caching method
has certain limitations that do not exist with the
dm-cache
method, including the following:
Cannot attach or detach
dm-writecache
when a logical volume is active.
Cannot take a snapshot of a logical volume when the
logical volume is using
dm-writecache
.
Must use a
dm-writecache
block size
that matches the existing file system block size when
attaching
dm-writecache
to an inactive
logical volume.
Cannot resize a logical volume when
dm-writecache
is attached to the
volume.
Cannot use
pvmove
commands on devices
that are used with
dm-writecache
.
Cannot use logical volumes with
dm-writecache
when using thin pools or
the virtual data optimizer (VDO).
For more information about the
dm-writecache
caching method, see the the
Section 4.11, “File Systems and Storage”
features section of
these release notes. See also the
lvmcache(7)
manual page.
An error indicating that the mcelog service does not support the processor can appear in the system log on systems with AMD processors, such as some Oracle Server hardware. The message might be displayed as follows:
mcelog: ERROR: AMD Processor family 23: mcelog does not support this processor. Please use the edac_mce_amd module instead.
The
mcelog
daemon is a service that is used
on x86_64 platforms to log and handle hardware error messaging,
but it is not required on AMD systems, where the
edac_mce_amd
kernel module handles machine
exception logging. This error should be downgraded to a warning.
(Bug ID 29501190)
By default, the Oracle Linux 8 graphical user interface (GUI) console mode treats the hardware power button as the equivalent of the ACPI "Sleep" button, which puts the system into low-power sleep mode. This behavior is specific to the GNOME desktop environment.
In previous Oracle Linux releases, the hardware power button initiated a system shutdown. To ensure that Oracle Linux 8 behaves the same way, do the following:
Create a file named
/etc/dconf/db/local.d/01-shutdown-button-action
with following content:
# cat /etc/dconf/db/local.d/01-power [org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power] power-button-action='interactive' #
Create a file named
/etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/01-power
with
the following content:
# cat /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/01-power /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/power-button-action #
Run the following command:
sudo dconf update
Log out of the desktop environment and then log back in for the new settings to take effect.

Oracle Linux 8.6 (aarch64) ships with UEK R6 as the default kernel.
Oracle also provides Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) packages for use with UEK R6. The RDMA feature enables direct memory access between two systems that are connected by a network. RDMA facilitates high-throughput and low-latency networking in clusters.
To use RDMA features, you must first install the Oracle-supported RDMA packages. To do so, ensure that your system is subscribed to the appropriate channels on ULN or that you have enabled the appropriate repositories on the Oracle Linux yum server.
If you are subscribed to ULN, enable the
ol8_x86_64_UEKR6
,
ol8_x86_64_baseos_latest
,
ol8_x86_64_appstream
, and
ol8_x86_64_UEKR6_RDMA
channels. Note that if
your system is newly registered on ULN, it is already subscribed
to the
ol8_x86_64_UEKR6
,
ol8_x86_64_baseos_latest
, and
ol8_x86_64_appstream
channels by default.
However, you must explicitly subscribe to the
ol8_x86_64_UEKR6_RDMA
channel prior to
installing RDMA packages.
If you are using the Oracle Linux yum server, enable the
ol8_UEKR6
,
ol8_baseos_latest
,
ol8_appstream
, and
ol8_UEKR6_RDMA
repositories. Note that if
your system already uses the Oracle Linux yum server, the
ol8_UEKR6
,
ol8_baseos_latest
, and
ol8_appstream
repositories are enabled by
default. However, you must explicitly enable the
ol8_UEKR6_RDMA
repository prior to installing
RDMA packages.
For additional information about RDMA, including any known issues, see Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel: Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 Update 3 .

The following information applies specifically to the Oracle Linux 8.6 (aarch64) release.
For general information and instructions, including any known issues that may apply to the 64-bit Arm (aarch64) platform, refer to the previous chapters of these release notes.
To determine whether your hardware is supported on the current Oracle Linux 8 release, check the Hardware Certification List at https://linux.oracle.com/hardware-certifications . Note that hardware is added to the list as it becomes available and is validated on Oracle Linux.
The Oracle Linux 8.6 (aarch64) release ships with Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 (UEK R6), which is currently the only kernel that is supported on the 64-bit Arm (aarch64) platform.
The default UEK kernel version that is shipped with Oracle Linux 8.6 (aarch64) is:
kernel-uek-5.4.17-2136.307.3.el8uek
Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 (UEK R6)
The Oracle Linux 8.6 (aarch64) release is tested as a bundle, as shipped on the installation media image. When installed from the installation media image, the minimum kernel version that is supported is the kernel that is included in the image. Note that downgrading kernel packages is not supported, unless specifically recommended by Oracle Support.
For more information about managing the boot kernel on your Oracle Linux system, including instructions on changing the default boot kernel , see https://docs.oracle.com/en/learn/oracle-linux-kernels .
Currently, there are no known issues that apply to the 64-bit Arm (aarch64) platform only . For known issues that apply to the x86_64 platform, which may also apply the 64-bit Arm (aarch64) platform, see Chapter 5, Known Issues .

installation by using PXE. If you perform a network-based
installation and you want to access the graphical interface for
the installer, you must change the kernel boot parameters to
enable VNC. For example, to enable VNC, set the
inst.vnc
boot option, and then set the
network address to
ip=eth0:dhcp
at boot.
The Oracle Linux 8.6 (aarch64) ISO image is also available from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud at https://edelivery.oracle.com/ .
