Latest RHEL 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 25 May 2023
When you upgrade to 25 May 2023 on RHEL 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.

RHEL 7 in new installations of BMC Discovery 11.3 and 20.02 (12.0)
New installations of BMC Discovery 11.3 patch 6 and later, and BMC Discovery 20.02 (12.0) patch 2 and later are also available on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL 7). The RHEL 7 release is a separately licensed product intended for customers whose organizations require particular certifications available with RHEL 7, such as Common Criteria Security Certification. The release on RHEL 7 is functionally identical to those running on CentOS 7.
No upgrade path from BMC Discovery on CentOS 7 to RHEL 7
You cannot upgrade an appliance running on CentOS 7 to an appliance running on RHEL 7; rather, you must perform a new installation and then migrate your data. See the Upgrading in the 11.3 and 20.02 (12.0) documentation for more information on upgrade/migration paths
The replacement of earlier OS versions with RHEL 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.
When applying OS upgrades to BMC Discovery 11.3, ensure that you download and apply the correct RHEL operating system upgrade.
