tough cookies! The upgrade is basically a complete removal and replacement of ALL libs and binaries anyway. RHEL is NOT a rolling upgrade process for a (good) reason.<br><br>So you will have to backup all configs, learn all about what has changed between 4->5 and 5->6 and rewrite pretty much ALL configs.<br>
<br>Since this is in a vm environment it's all pretty easy. Just make a new vm with the RHEL6 fresh install and start migrating and testing. Once it all passes QA, change the vips and you're done with a fallback route if you miss something.<br>
<br>RHEL6 is a totally different animal from RHEL4. Good riddance to RHEL4.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 1, 2011 at 9:20 AM, James Sumners <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:james.sumners@gmail.com">james.sumners@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
