salt.states.kernelpkg.latest_active(name, at_time=None, **kwargs)¶

Initiate a reboot if the running kernel is not the latest one installed.

Note

This state does not install any patches. It only compares the running kernel version number to other kernel versions also installed in the system. If the running version is not the latest one installed, this state will reboot the system.

See kernelpkg.upgrade and latest_installed() for ways to install new kernel packages.

This module does not attempt to understand or manage boot loader configurations it is possible to have a new kernel installed, but a boot loader configuration that will never activate it. For this reason, it would not be advisable to schedule this state to run automatically.

Because this state function may cause the system to reboot, it may be preferable to move it to the very end of the state run. See latest_wait() for a waitable state that can be called with the listen requesite.

name

Arbitrary name for the state. Does not affect behavior.

at_time

The wait time in minutes before the system will be rebooted.

salt.states.kernelpkg.latest_installed(name, **kwargs)¶

Ensure that the latest version of the kernel available in the repositories is installed.

Note

This state only installs the kernel, but does not activate it. The new kernel should become active at the next reboot. See kernelpkg.needs_reboot for details on how to detect this condition, and latest_active() to initiale a reboot when needed.

name

Arbitrary name for the state. Does not affect behavior.

salt.states.kernelpkg.latest_wait(name, at_time=None, **kwargs)¶

Initiate a reboot if the running kernel is not the latest one installed. This is the waitable version of latest_active() and will not take any action unless triggered by a watch or listen requesite.

Note

Because this state function may cause the system to reboot, it may be preferable to move it to the very end of the state run using listen or listen_in requisites.
