Michael, Unfortunately, the RHEL 6 > 7 part of the clone tool is not upstream, as it was developed retroactively (after upstream was changed to RHEL 7 only), but there is talk of adding this upstream. Here are the parts that we found when restoring a RHEL6 backup on RHEL 7.
- RHEL7's /etc/httpd/conf.d/passenger.conf is not backward compatible with RHEL6 https://git.io/vHdGx - We had to restore .dump files from an online backup Let us know how it goes or if you have any questions, I'm also cc'ing Suresh who did work on this feature, he may be able to go over anything I missed. -John John Mitsch Red Hat Engineering (860)-967-7285 irc: jomitsch On Wed, Jun 14, 2017 at 8:32 AM, Eric D Helms <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Michael, > > There is a tool that got built for the Satellite product for doing this > sort of migration that uses upstream bits so in theory it should work [1]. > I'm CC'ing John who developed it to give some more insight. > > > Eric > > [1] https://github.com/RedHatSatellite/satellite-clone > > > On Tue, Jun 13, 2017 at 6:47 PM, Michael Bassler < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> We will be working on a strategy to help users migrate their EL6 >>> installations to EL7 and please reach out to us if you have questions >>> regrading this. >>> >> >> I have an existing EL6 installation that I wish ti migrate to EL7, is >> there some documentation that I can look at work someone specifically I >> should talk to in order to get an idea on what this process is. >> >> Thank You >> Michael >> >> On Thursday, December 1, 2016 at 7:31:49 AM UTC-8, Eric Helms wrote: >>> >>> All, >>> >>> There have been comments and release notes around EL6 support but I >>> wanted to take the time to make sure users see the information and are >>> aware of the deprecations. >>> >>> As of Foreman 1.13, EL6 was officially dropped as a supported operating >>> system.
