Issue/Introduction

How to update the kernel or install 3rd vendor applications on SMG and migrate to other Linux distributions than CentOS.

 

Environment

Release : 10.8.0/10.8.1, 10.9.0

Resolution

Updating the kernel, installing additional software, or migrating to another Linux distribution is not possible. The Messaging Gateway is a hardened appliance, it is not a general-purpose server and sits on a tailored, well-tested image that has only partial settings from CentOS.

Additional Information

A major update of OS will be introduced in the next SMG release.
