upgrading from centos 5.6 to 6
how to upgrade from centos 5.6 to 6 ?
|
I would not advise an upgrade. For a server you should really reinstall it.
Ultimately you can just run "yum --releasever=6 distro-sync", but again, I wouldn't recommend it. |
thx;
but my x-centos 5.6 server contains a lot of informations :gate-server;dns-server ;dhcp and others which manage our copany network |
I wouldn't advise against upgrading it then. If it works, leave it.
|
i tried that command in centos 5.6 but not working?
|
well firstly, i advised against upgrading if you can't rebuild. Why do you want to??
secondly if something "doesn't work" you need to give useful information about what happened. |
thx;
when i tried the command it tell me : Command line error:no such option :--releasever but under centos 6 in other host the command run well. ---------- Post added 07-18-11 at 03:34 PM ---------- i want to update all my centos 5.6 packages to el6 centos 6 packages. |
if you can not justify rebuilding a server, then you can not justify upgrading it. what if it doesn't work? upgrading is a BIG thing, just about EVERY package is replaced, and there is a high chance of things failing. Then where would you be?
|
under centos 5.6
yum update -y no packages marked for update. |
right, because you are still juston the release 5. If you really want to you can install the el6 centos-release package and run it again. Y M M V

i want to update my packages for securing my server
|
6.0 will be less sure than 5.6. The feature set is older on 5.x therefore had a lot longer to be fully security tested.
|
is it the same problem between redhat 5 and redhat 6?
|
it's the same packages, so yes. Each major release introduces new features, new code.... new bugs.
|
when we need update packages from centos 5.6 to centos 6 ,i need to reinstall my systeme to centos 6 and repeting all my server configuration
