Hi everyone,
Thanks for all your opinions.
I've used the tool with '--force' parameter and it upgraded just fine. Now I'm having some side effects like: "grep: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
Also, OpenVAS does not boot yet.
I'll try a clean install and forget all application-related history.

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.
