Once errata kernel is applied it should show kernel release: 3.10.0-862.14.4.el7.ppc64le Once errata systemd is applied it should show systemd release: 219-57.el7_5.3.ppc64le Once errata network manager is applied it should show network manager release: 1.10.2-16.el7_5.ppc64le User can update RHEL as needed to address fixes and security updates. It is highly recommended to limit errata updates applied to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system used in the ESS solution to security errata or errata updates requested by service.
