As a result, the command yum list kernel is not showing the latest version of that kernel package branch locally because an update is not available from the Satellite server. This is accomplished with a 'Content View.' It could be that the system subscribed to a Red Hat Satellite is registered to some 'Content Views' which are not updated. Red Hat Satellite allows administrators to provide specific packages to systems within their organization. The system is connected to Red Hat Satellite.

The RHEL administrator, with a system that has the latest available kernel installed, should be confident that the system has updates installed that comply with their organizationвЂ™s requirements. The full command to list the kernel package available is: Where to download the latest kernel? The latest kernel for a specific version of RHEL should be installed within the OS, using the yum command.
