Gotta ask - is "sudo" a proper name or a nickname?
What would be the easiest way to upgrade 2000 servers from RedHat 9 to Fedora or RedHat Enterprise/CentOS? Also, 1/2 of these systems have 1 TB data partition that cannot be destroyed.
Would an upgrade option work via Kickstart?
That would be my guess, but I've never dealt with anything close to that magnitude of problem.
Wow, are you working for Google? :).
You should tell us about applications that run on it.
Also curious.
Is a backup of the 1 TB partition possible? Is downtime possible for 1 server at the time?
I would recommend against fedora and tell you to go with CentOS (and maybe send a little donation/offer mirror). You'll thank yourself for the long life of updates and stability.
I STRONGLY agree. Would not even consider Fedora for this large an operation. It's a nice platform to play with, but I wouldn't want to bet my livelihood on a "perpetual Beta" like FC. Please report your experiences when you make the move.
