Hi all,
I am running 5.4
After running
sudo yum clean all sudo yum update
We got it upgraded to 5.6
cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.6 (Final)
So, how can I get it my CentOS from 5.6 to 6.0?

As explained in the documentation there is no upgrade path between major versions supported. You may run an upgrade using the install media (DVD) at your very own risk. The general recommendation is: do a fresh install.

As far as I know, upgrading between major EL versions is not supported. A full re-install is recommended.
If you wish to try anyway, you will probably need to change the repos to point to the EL6 repos instead of the EL5 repos.

Currently, the OS is installed on a vmware, and arcording to the tech staff, due to technical, they can not install CentOS 6 or anything other than CentOS 5.4 :)

This seems reasonable (yet a little risky) and I definitely will try to do that. Anyone has done that before?

I already installed CentOS (and RHEL) 6 on VMware ESXi 4.1 and VMware Workstation 7.1.4. I already put in production a mail server with CentOS 6 on VMware ESXi 4
The so called "technical problems" are a plain lie: RedHat 6 is around for many months and VMware supports it.

You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back.

Luigi, I was about to do the same as you: install 6 on VM Workstation 7.1.4 (dev/test machine) and later on VM Server 2.0.2 (production).
As VM does not officially support CentOS6, can you tell me which OS version you have selected? (RH5, CentOS, Other 2.6 kernel?) Is there any other do's and don't I should be aware of?
Thanks!

Apart from a tech support that tells you lies, nothing else ;)

It was the dawn of the Third Age of Mankind, ten years after the Earth-Minbari War. The Babylon project was a dream given form. Its goal: to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call, home away from home, for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers. Humans and aliens wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.
