Dear all,
Upgrading is always scary, I will appreciate any comment on the following.
Our freeIPA is serving a small number of FC desktops and users (< 10), and is running on a FC 23 server, with packages for ipa versioned 4.2.4-2.fc23.
The simplest thing I can do is of course to upgrade the FC system until the latest, one version at the time. What I probably want to do is actually move to CentOS - I'm fed up with running after FC releases.
In both cases (especially in the second case), I thought it may be wise to make a replica of the ipa server before starting the upgrade.
My plan would be: - Have an up-to-date CentOS system (IPA-B), enroll it and promote it to replica of the existing one (IPA-A) - [ Question: is it better to have IPA-B on a recent version or on the same version as IPA-A? ] - Shut down IPA-A - Verify that IPA-B works - Wipe out IPA-A, install recent CentOS. - Enroll IPA-A - Promote it to replica. - Enjoy
Am I overlooking something? Could I do something more prudently?
Thanks for your input! Roberto
