Red Hat update from 6.2 to 6.3
 

Is it possible to have an upgrade of a version from 6.2 to 6.3 just by downloading and installing patches and updates?

There is a controversy here in the office I am trying to figure who is right and who isn't so here I am asking the internet :)

One claims is possible while installing updates and patches, since is not a major release. The other one claims it was intentionally installed.

Thanks,

You do have the required support contract so

if the mirror and base repo links in /etc/yum.repo.d/redhat????
point to the 6 repo and NOT to the 6.2 repo
then all you need to do is run " upgrade"
if they ARE pointing to the 6.2 repo then
RHEL 6.4 is the current

Hi,

Does it need restart the upgrade?

Thank you.

You can do a restart if you want to(!) after the update.
The only reason you normally need to reboot is if a new kernel is installed and you want to use it.

reboot
