Hello,
how to update Linux OpenVZ kernel?
I had this kernel: # uname -r
2.6.32-042stab093.5
and i tried command: yum update vzkernel
and after confirmation, it Installed:
vzkernel.x86_64 0:2.6.32-042stab113.11
Dependency Updated:
kernel-firmware.noarch 0:2.6.32-573.12.1.el6
Before update this was part of the /etc/grub.conf
default=0
timeout=4
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

so in grub.conf i had first kernel section selected as default on boot (default=0) and after kernel update, it added new kernel at the first spot, so i assume this new kernel will be used on next boot. Hopefully there will be no issue.
PS: People adviced running "yum update" to update all system packages, but i will not do it for now.
