Kernel update

Answered
Michael So
CentOS 7. I have a cPanel message to update kernel with tuxcare, but when I do Yum -y update Yum says everything up to date. When I check enabled repos there is no tuxcare. What is the repo that should be there. I have reseller cPanel so cannot enter a support ticket.

    Just to be clear I am not a reseller but a server admin. When I enter my server IP into the cPanel support request form, it says I need to lodge a support request with the cPanel provider. The cPanel provider didn't even know cPanel is supporting CentOS 7 with tuxcare till Jan 2027. So not much help there.

    Hey there!  Can you try running "/scripts/upcp" on that machine to ensure you are on the latest cPanel version that is available for that system (which should be version 110)?  I would expect that to install tuxcare if things are working normally.

    110.0.80
    It runs every night no errors.
    I've used cPanel for 20 years...

    yum repolist all | grep tuxcare
    Shows nothing.
    Just need the code to install the repo.
    I'm assuming tuxcare applies to all cPanel CentOS 7 servers? My cPanel provider is currently assessing whether I qualify because my server is self managed...???

    The following will get that installed for you:

    bash <(curl https://repo.tuxcare.com/centos7-els/install-centos7-els-repo-ip.sh) -f
    bash <(curl https://repo.tuxcare.com/centos7-els/install-centos7-els-repo-ip.sh) -v

    But yes, any CentOS 7 server *should* have received this by default, as the only way to opt out is the update to a new operating system.

    Thanks for that. I see now that there is no tuxcare repo but a centos7els repo. I may have already had that. When I did an yum update I did pick up a new immunity rpm, that wasn't available before. The problem seems to be that I am running a centos-plus kernel, so yum says no kernel packages installed. The package I'm using is kernel-plus...

    After using
    needs-restarting -r
    it seems I have several tuxcare packages installed and a reboot is required. So the problem seems to be solely that I am not being notified when a reboot is necessary and cPanel is flagging a difference between the kernel packages and the kernel-plus package. I'll just write a little cron script to inform when reboot needed.

    Thanks for your help!
