I suggest you begin by reading the release notes for CentOS 7, which are
at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7 -- here is an
excerpt:
? For the first time, there is a supported upgrade path from CentOS-6 to
? CentOS-7. This path is only supported from the latest version of
? CentOS-6 (being 6.6 at the time of writing) to the latest version of
? CentOS-7. For more information on the upgrade procedure please take a
? look at this page. The tools needed for this functionality are still
? being tested and will be released at a later time. If you can help
? with the testing, please see this CentOS-Devel mailing list thread and
? this wiki entry.
So, upgrade to 6.6 first, and then use the upgrade procedure from Red
Hat, if you're willing to help with testing.
Or install 7 from scratch, of course.

Upgrading packages is fairly basic system functionality. You may want to spend some time reading documentation before you do anything else. A good deal of information is accessible on a CentOS system itself using the "man" and "info" commands. Additional documentation is available at http://wiki.centos.org/Documentation The answer to your specific question is found in the manual page for yum ("man yum" at a command line prompt), but yum can do a lot of things. Probably what you want is: # yum upgrade But depending on your needs and the packages installed on your machine, you may need a different yum command.
I am working on linux environment. we have centOS servers which is running on CentOS 6.2. So far i didn't work on upgrade OS to higher version. That's why i asked this question. I know yum upgade will update the packages that installed on the server. Any way let me try um upgrade and update you.
