Upgrading Your Redhat Server.
Check your kernel release before upgrade.
If run without any packages, update will update every currently installed package.
After the upgrade check the kernel release.
yum update
If run without any packages, update will update every currently installed package.
If one or more packages are specified,Yum will only update the listed packages. While updating packages, yum will ensure that all dependencies are satisfied.
If no package matches the given package name(s), they are assumed to be a shell glob and any matches are then installed. If the –obsoletes flag is present yum will include package obsoletes in its calculations - this makes it better for distro-version changes, for example: upgrading from somelinux 8.0 to somelinux 9.
yum upgrade : Is the same as the update command with the –obsoletes flag set.
yum is an interactive, automated update program which can be used for maintaining systems.
