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!
