Hello all... I have a remote machine running C6. I desire to update it to C7. Not possible to be on-site. Can I copy the Everything ISO for C7 to the machine, mount -o loop C7.Everything.iso /media/cdrom then do a "yum upgrade" ? Will that work? The server is using software raid. Thanks Jerry

I want to move all my OS, services like Apache configuration and application (web server) files and folders to another brand new server. Both servers are running on Centos 7. i want to clone everything. My questions 1- what is the easiest way to do this? 2- do I need to partition hard-drive of new server exactly as old one? 3- Is there any changes to make on new server after full migration? 4-

The objective is not to cherry pick updates, but rather to install a second system with packages that match the first system. After fine-tuning the installed packages and stripping out the

Hi, I just found myself having to set up a new CentOS 6 system with a nearly identical configuration to an existing host, so I thought I would just 1. Do a minimal install to set up partitions etc. on the new system. 2. Create an image of the existing system using Clonezilla (http://www.clonezilla.org) 3. Run a Clonezilla restore on the new system. - as I though it would be a lot

I manage a set of CentOS operations workstations which are all clones of each other (3 "live" and 1 "spare" kept powered down); each has a single drive with four partitions (/boot, /, /home, swap). I've already set up cron'd rsync jobs to copy the operations accounts between the workstations on a daily basis, so that when one fails, it is a simple, quick process to swap

Thanks Mr. Roth! That's nice and methodical. I do like how you can revert by simply remounting the previous directories. I'm going to try both. I'm still hopeful that a simple tar -xf server.tgz into the chrooted "/" is possible. At linuxquestions.org, one user suggests it can be done by exempting the following: /proc /sys /dev /tmp /var I'm thinking the tarball thing

Well, I gave up, and reinstalled C7. This time, I realized I needed to make a software choice before the install, and did so. My install, yesterday, was a minimal. Silly me, yesterday, after that, I did a groupinstall of KDE Plasma Workspaces... and it did *NOT* include all the dependencies to run KDE. Having installed a KDE desktop, much is better... with one exception: I can't seem to
