Customize Linux on the Compute Nodes
This appendix describes how to customize the Linux operating system on compute
nodes in an Exalogic machine, to suit your business needs, by installing additional
RPMs, and updating or removing RPMs that are installed by default. It applies to
Exalogic in a physical configuration, with the Linux operating system installed on bare
metal. The tasks described in this appendix are optional.
This appendix contains the following sections:
• RPMs That Must Not Be Modified or Removed
• Prepare the Compute Nodes for Yum Updates
• Install, Update, and Remove RPMs Using Yum

update (PSU), or patch.
