You should consider setting up a temporary vm to migrate from.<br>
On one of your client systems, I assume you got at least 1 ipa client<br>
<br>
Try looking at <a href="http://libguestfs.org/virt-p2v.1.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://libguestfs.org/virt-p2v<wbr>.1.html</a> to migrate your<br>
current system to a vm (side effect : instant full backup)<br>
<br>
When you got the vm up and running you can reinstall your main system<br>
with the new os and ipa.<br>
Then replicate the old ipa to the new one.<br>

Hmm. The system that runs IPA is the "network server" in my home<br>
network. It runs various services -- DNS, NTP, CUPS, squid, etc. -- as<br>
well as routing between various VLANs. So simply P2V'ing it would be<br>
a major project in its own right.<br>
<br>
What about this, though ...<br>
<br>
1. Set up a new CentOS 7 VM running IPA<br>
<br>
2. Replicate the IPA data from the old CentOS 6 system to the VM.<br>
<br>
3. Install CentOS 7 on the original system<br>
<br>
4. Replicate the IPA data back from the VM<br>
<br>
Will this work?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
