Re: [xcat-user] xcat upgrade/migration?

[Markus H. <mar...@me...>]

Hi,

this documentation should help: https://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advanced/migration/migration.html

I would just setup latest xCAT in your Rocky9 VM and then copy/paste all the data and configs and make sure it still works.
But be careful, you probably don't want to copy all the OS related configs as some of them changed between 7.9 and 9.


​Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards

Betreff: [xcat-user] xcat upgrade/migration?

Hello

We're running slightly stale xcat 2.16.3 in CentOS 7.9 on bare metal and would ideally like to migrate it wholesale to a Rocky9 VM (including DHCP config and DNS records)

Is there any form of documented procedure for accomplishing this?  Any suggestions as to what steps we'd need to walk through to get there?

thank you!
