Notes about Rocky Linux 9.3

• BIOS Configuration You must use the UEFI mode rather than the legacy BIOS. The latter is still available but should not be used for Flame Family products configurations.

• Automatic Update: By default, Automatic Update are enabled in Rocky Linux and to avoid issues, we strongly recommend you install the DKU just after your initial OS installation and reboot your workstation. DKU installation disables this option.

• License Server: If you plan to install Autodesk Network License Manager (NLM) under Rocky Linux 9, make sure to install NLM version 11.19.4.1 from the Autodesk Support site. See this support article for more details.

• Secure Shell Login (SSH): By default, root access is no longer allowed on newer Rocky versions (such as 9.3). Use the following procedure to enable SSH:

  1. As root, open the etc/ssh/sshd_config file and set PermitRootLogin to yes.

  2. Restart the SSH service using: systemctl restart sshd.service.

  3. Log in to the node as the root user: ssh root@<hostname>.

  • For more information on enabling root on ssh, see this page from IBM.

• Deprecated Network Scripts: If you're used to running the legacy network scripts ifup and ifdown, know that these are no longer part of Rocky Linux 9.x. It also includes removal of the ifcfg-xxxx configuration files. These scripts were deprecated in Rocky Linux 8.6 (more information) and you should use the following commands instead:

  • ip link set <interface> up
  • ip link set <interface> down

• Components not available on Rocky Linux 9.x:

  • HP Anyware
  • Blackmagic Design Desktop Video
