Latest CentOS 7 operating system upgrade
TKU and OSU release timing
To provide a more predictable release cadence for our customers, BMC will publish the latest TKU and OSU on the first Wednesday of the month.
Upgrading to 30 May 2023
When you upgrade to 30 May 2023 OSU on CentOS 7, if your link.conf file contains errors, the upgrade will fail its pre-upgrade checks with a message stating, Upgrade check failed: The OS upgrade script did not recognize the "--managed-upgrade-checks" option, and will proceed no further. you must correct the errors and run the OS upgrade again.
The link.conf file is formatted with entries like:
#== Backup Archive Files Location ==========================================BACKUP_LOGICAL="${TIDEWAY}/var/backup"BACKUP_PHYSICAL="${TIDEWAY}/var/localdisk/backup"
The most common errors are missing or unbalanced double quotes.
The OS upgrade supports the installed BMC Discovery (64-bit architecture) virtual appliances on CentOS 7. The following file is available from the BMC Electronic Product Distribution (EPD) site for 64-bit architecture:

CentOS 7 in new installations of BMC Discovery 11.3
New installations of BMC Discovery 11.3 run on CentOS 7. The upgrade to BMC Discovery 11.3 from 11.1 and earlier versions replace Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 with CentOS 6.
The replacement of earlier OS versions with CentOS 7 ensures continued support for the appliance OS during its lifetime and provides support for newer hardware where you choose to install on hardware. It also provides SMB 2 support, and the ability to run Apache 2.4.
CentOS is an enterprise-class Linux platform that is derived from and aims to be functionally compatible with its upstream source, RHEL. This compatibility enables BMC to perform the same CentOS testing against the Red Hat 6 and 7 STIGs.
When applying OS upgrades to BMC Discovery 11.3, ensure that you download and apply the correct CentOS operating system upgrade.
Comments
Does this information apply to Discovery 12.1.x appliances?
In other words? Should/Can I apply this OS upgrade package to a Discovery 12.1.0.1 virtual appliance?
Best regards
Hi Michael,
Yes, it's just the same for virtual appliances.
Duncan.
Could you update this with information about the re-release of the OS Upgrade 13 Dec (CVE-2021-44228 Log4Shell Vulnerability)?
Hi Laura,
We have the files on EPD, and the page is updated.
Duncan.
Yes, I saw the EPD but this page was not updated. Now it is, thank you so much. Just to check if there are any other things to consider like the server.xml note.
Since there is much focus on log4j recently, it would be nice to be able to easily find the log4j version here on this page.
Question: For the (latest) Jan 2022 OS Update, what is the log4j version that is in that Update?
I found a KA here: https://bmcsites.force.com/casemgmt/sc_KnowledgeArticle?sfdcid=000391358 The KA says that the log4j version in Jan 2022 OS Update is: 2.17
But, I wonder why I can't see that information easily by searching for "log4j" on this page.
I assume that log4j must be part of some package ... probably it is part of the glibc package: glibc-2.17-325.el7_9
Why do I think it is part of glibc? I found some fuzzy evidence from google that log4j is part of the glibc package, at least for centos 7. Also, glibc version on this page for Jan 2022 shows as 2.17 (glibc-2.17-325.el7_9), and that agrees with 2.17 version of log4j according to the KA. Coincidence? maybe.
Perhaps a note could be added to the top of this page ... advising that, to find the log4j version, look at the glibc package version. (assuming that is correct information).
