    Hi,

     

    Airwave 8 come with a CentoOS 6.2. There is a problem if I execute a "yum update" to update to CentOS 6.5?

    We use Hyper-V as hypervisor and CentOS 6.4 and newer are best compatible with this (kernel patchs).

     

    This is indicated by Aruba?

     

     

    Regards,

    Paulo Raponi

    You can certainly try it on your own, but it likely won't be supported if you have/find issues. At some point AirWave will be upgraded to deploy CentOS 6.4, or later, but there's not a supported reason to update. All major security vulnerabilities are patched in/back ported as part of the normal upgrade process (like most all Linux-based OS servers). Loads of time is spent on QA, rapid and early OS upgrades are not tenable long-term.
