I have about 35 systems I need to convert from various versions of RHEL
6.x to CentOS. There are a number of guides for doing this with a bunch
of manual steps that I can follow, but if I can find a pre-written
script it would save me some work. Suggestions?
A different strategy with a longer life expectancy and higher total value would be to
ansiblize/puppetize/automate recreation of your systems, and simply build the rebuilds on
centos. On the cutover date, shutdown the rhel systems as a cold "snapshot."
I agree wholeheartedly with the theory, but these systems are scheduled
to be scrapped in the next 6-12 months. This is in addition to the fact
that the people who knew how these systems were built are no longer
there. Everything is being migrated (more like totally re-implemented)
into a cloud environment by a completely different team and I will be
unemployed when they finish.
