 This article assumes that you have already installed an Oracle Linux operating system to a virtual hard disk. Multiple tools exist to create .vhd files, for example a virtualization solution such as Hyper-V. For instructions, see [Install the Hyper-V Role and Configure a Virtual Machine](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-R2-and-2012/hh846766(v=ws.11)).
 
 ## Oracle Linux installation notes

+* See also [General Linux Installation Notes](create-upload-generic.md#general-linux-installation-notes) for more tips on preparing Linux for Azure.
 * Hyper-V and Azure support Oracle Linux with either the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) or the Red Hat Compatible Kernel.
 * Oracle's UEK2 is not supported on Hyper-V and Azure as it does not include the required drivers.
 * The VHDX format is not supported in Azure, only **fixed VHD**.  You can convert the disk to VHD format using Hyper-V Manager or the convert-vhd cmdlet.
-* **Kernel support for mounting UDF file systems is required.** At first boot on Azure the provisioning configuration is passed to the Linux VM via UDF-formatted media that is attached to the guest. The Azure Linux agent must be able to mount the UDF file system to read its configuration and provision the VM.
-* When installing the Linux system it is recommended that you use standard partitions rather than LVM (often the default for many installations). This will avoid LVM name conflicts with cloned VMs, particularly if an OS disk ever needs to be attached to another VM for troubleshooting. [LVM](/previous-versions/azure/virtual-machines/linux/configure-lvm) or [RAID](/previous-versions/azure/virtual-machines/linux/configure-raid) may be used on data disks if preferred.

 * Linux kernel versions earlier than 2.6.37 don't support NUMA on Hyper-V with larger VM sizes. This issue primarily impacts older distributions using the upstream Red Hat 2.6.32 kernel, and was fixed in Oracle Linux 6.6 and later
-* Do not configure a swap partition on the OS disk. More information about this can be found in the steps below.
-* All VHDs on Azure must have a virtual size aligned to 1MB. When converting from a raw disk to VHD you must ensure that the raw disk size is a multiple of 1MB before conversion. See [Linux Installation Notes](create-upload-generic.md#general-linux-installation-notes) for more information.

 * Make sure that the `Addons` repository is enabled. Edit the file `/etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol6.repo`(Oracle Linux 6) or `/etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol7.repo`(Oracle Linux 7), and change the line `enabled=0` to `enabled=1` under **[ol6_addons]** or **[ol7_addons]** in this file.
 
 ## Oracle Linux 6.X 
 
 > [!IMPORTANT]
-> Please note that Oracle Linux has reached its end of life and is [no longer supported by Oracle](https://www.oracle.com/a/ocom/docs/elsp-lifetime-069338.pdf). This means that no new updates or patches will be provided, and technical support may not be available. It is recommended that users migrate to a newer and supported version of Linux to ensure security and stability. We cannot be held responsible for any issues that may arise from continuing to use Oracle Linux after its end of life.
+> Keep in consideration Oracle Linux 6.x is already EOL. Oracle Linux version 6.10 has available [ELS support](https://www.oracle.com/a/ocom/docs/linux/oracle-linux-extended-support-ds.pdf), which [will end on 07/2024](https://www.oracle.com/a/ocom/docs/elsp-lifetime-069338.pdf).
