EDIT, 20240820: Typo in SLES version corrected.
We are running SLES 12SP5. Recently, we startet with Live Patch. After installing a Kernel Update with included kgraft-package uname -a gives:
... (6108cdd/lp-9357a75) ...
I guess “lp” is for “live patch” as systems w/o live patch don’t show this part.
How can I check which Kernel Live Patch version this ID corresponds to? I didn’t find anything searching for:
uname doesn’t know about kGraft. Do kgr patches or zypper se kgraft give you something that you can search Live Patching: Current Patches for Linux Enterprise Systems | SUSE ?
Thank you very much for your answer! Pls, excuse me for answering that late in return.
The commands you recommended are used on a regular basis, thank you!
I was wondering about the meaning of the difference in the output comming from uname -a. If I use uname -a on a server patched w/o using live patches I get:
Linux <SERVER-0> 4.12.14-122.222-default #1 SMP Tue Jul 9 16:14:33 UTC 2024 (6108cdd) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
On another server where we use live patches we get:
Linux <SERVER-1> 4.12.14-122.222-default #1 SMP Tue Jul 9 16:14:33 UTC 2024 (6108cdd/lp-9357a75) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Do I understand your answer correctly that there is no significance to this difference?
Otherwise I would be interested in what information I could get from the additional part in the output on a system running live patches.
Thanks again!
