Hello! Just thought I'd present this problem for comment/help/hints: * want to upgrade from Fedora Core 11 to 13 * I have a 64-bit system with Vista as a host o/s, running VMWare, and FC11 as a client o/s * cloned my FC11 as a backup * ran preupgrade, got expected problem with 200MB /boot, but preupgrade said that it could continue downloading (presumably to the larger partition) so I did * preupgrade told me to reboot, so I did * began upgrade process; ran Test. First oddity: Test said it was testing media for FC10 , but test passed. * Pro...

...Chapter 4. General Updates In-place upgrade from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 An in-place upgrade offers a way of upgrading a system to a new major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux by replacing the existing operating system. To perform an in-place upgrade, use the Preupgrade Assistant, a utility that checks the system for upgrade issues before running the actual upgrade, and that also provides additional scripts for the Red Hat Upgrade Tool. When you have solved all the problems reported by the Preupgrade Assistant, use the Red Hat Upgrade Tool to upgrade the syste...

Is the https://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/CentOSUpgradeTool still not recommend? Is there a expected time when it will be working? Thanks, Jerry

Hello Everyone, I have been trying to get a Fedora 12 domU to boot for the better part of the afternoon and haven't had success booting any F12 kernel in Xen. I can get Fedora 11 installed no problem, tried to do a preupgrade but the when booting the preupgrade kernel through grub (or even from outside the domU) the domU reboots very quickly and ultimately crashes. As far as I saw in the qemu-dm-xxx.log, xend.log, and xend-debug.log there are no messages informing me of what went wrong. I am using CentOS 5.3 with the...

Hi I've reviewed and am performing some tests for the V6 to V7 preupgrade assistant. I have some suggestions for the wiki page. I have started a google doc with some suggested additions. They will most likely be added to as I discuss stuff with the dev mailing list. Whoever is responsible for maintaining the upgrade guide page on the wiki, could you give me some feedba...

Question 1: has anyone used preupgrade (I used it with fc 17 -> 19, and it pretty much appeared to work, but that was on a couple of worksttions)? Opinions? Question 2: is grub still supported, or is there something that *FORCES* you to use grub2? mark "grub2 must DIE!"

...released do not work .. there are updates that need to be refactored and rolled in. There are several upgrades to the tool, and I expect there will be another set shortly before or just after the 6.8 release. Here are the tools used: Pre Upgrade Assistant: https://git.centos.org/summary/?r=rpms/preupgrade-assistant Upgrade Tool: https://git.centos.org/summary/?r=rpms/redhat-upgrade-tool openscap: http://vault.centos.org/6.7/os/Source/SPackages/openscap-1.0.10-3.el6.centos.src.rpm As you can see, there have been several updates since the last time an update was rolled in (4 updates to the c6 upgra...

Hi, I would like to know whether the valid upgrade path will be present from CentOS 7 to future versions like we get for Ubuntu or some other operating systems. Right now, I am sure that we do not have proper update path in CentOS to move from one version to another. -- Thanks & Regards, Venkateswara Rao Dokku.

If you mean from CentOS-7 to CentOS-8, there is no way to know. There is no RHEL-8 to look at. Red Hat has source code for preupgrade-assistant and redhat-upgrade-tool. That is created for inplace upgrades from one major version to another. Currently those tools are community and maintained and they are several updates behind because currently no one in the community has stepped up to maintain them. But, CentOS-7 has an EOL of...

I have a vague recollection--from several years back--there was once a script out there that could be run on a CentOS 6.x system to test its hardware compatibility for CentOS 7. (Not talking about a script to actually do any upgrade; just check a system's hardware.) Does anyone remember this? Remember the details?

I am setting up a Centos 6.5 box to host some Openvz containers. I have a 120gb SSD I am going to use for boot, / and swap. Should allow for fast boots. Have a 4TB drive I am going to mount as /backup and use to move container backups too etc. The remaining four 3TB drives I am putting in a software RAID 10 array and mount as /vz and all the containers will go there. It will have by far the
