Description

In some cases, data nodes in Exasol deployments in public clouds boot the previously installed kernel after an OS security update was applied. This is indicated in the EXAoperation monitoring log as e.g.

2022-06-24 13:14:15.000001	Error	n11	Running linux kernel (3.10.0-1160.25.1.el7.x86_64) does not match to expected one (3.10.0-1160.59.1.el7.x86_64).

Workaround

Please contact Exasol support if you are affected by this issue.

Fix

For new cloud images, the data nodes always boot the newest kernel that was installed via OS security updates.
