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.
