we have rhel server with the following details
kernel version - 3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64
more /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2 (Maipo)
from dmesg we see many problems about
i40e: TX driver issue detected, PF reset issued
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4385541
so we decided to install the errata RHSA-2020:1016
according to redhat case https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4385541
this errata will update the kernel to version - kernel-3.10.0-1127.el7
until now the procedure is clear
but on the next weeks we intend to update the rhel version to 7.6
from ISO installation
but this ISO will include the kernel update of - 3.10.0-957.el7.x86_64
so I am not sure if its ok to update by errata the kernel version that actually higher then the next kernel version that should be installed by the ISO file
I will happy to get your opinion about
some calefaction:
the reason that we want to perform kernel upgrade to RHSA-2020:1016 , is to solev the NIC network issue and this will upgrade the kernel to 3.10.0-1127
on other hand , we intend to upgrade the rhel release only to 7.6 , and that include the kernel release - 3.10.0-957
the reason that we are limited to rhel 7.6 is because from customer side , and customer not want to have higher rhel version so we are limited about this
as I explained , because we have network problem redhat recommended to install the version kernel-3.10.0-1127.el7
so we have conflicts here
but the question is - is it ok to have rhel 7.6 and with kernel of - kernel-3.10.0-1127.el7 ?
