Hi everyone,
I hope this is the best place to post this question.
I was wondering how can one upgrade from CentOS 6.7 to CentOS 7.x using redhat-upgrade-tool-cli in a scenario where you're upgrading an Hyper-V based VM.
step1 would be to yum erase anything that didnt come from CentOS-6 itself, you clearly have external repos on there. And I mean not just remove the repos, but actually remove all the content that came from other places. Leave only content from base + updates for CentOS-6 itself.
secondly you need to use the centos tools from the centos repos
IMHO, I would put this effort (the above, and post activities like verify everything e.g. sanity-checks etc.) into a new setup + service migration. A more clean procedure and better reproducible ...
yeah, I cant agree more.
The only time the migration process worked for me was on a freshly installed centos6 box, with a minimal install and then upgraded immediately. Admittedly, the only time I ran this was about 6 to 8 months back.
When third party repos get involved, all bets are all. Similarly when desktop components and lots of user data is involved, many bets are also off.
