  Maria,

  RedHat Enterprise Installations require a full rebuild, there's no upgrade path into RHEL. Once you're at RHEL, subsequent releases won't require drastic measures.

  I installed RHEL 3 on a PowerEdge 2650, and had horrible times with the RAID driver. If your server runs the Perc3/Di driver, you'll want to do a little research before plunging into RHEL. There's a good website available for this, go to linux.dell.com. You can find a mailing list where people discuss this issue constantly.

  Good luck,

  Norman

    Hi,

    We have a production Database Server, with
    a professional Red Hat O.S installed.


     

    Here is detail information about it:

     

    Hardware:

    ·
             
    DELL Power Edge 2600 

     

    Database

    ·

    ·
             
    Glib: 2.2.5-34

     

    We are planning on moving from the Professional version into the Enterprise Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0.

    Since the business is a 7x24x365 one, and the DBSrv is the production one, we have few questions/doubts:
    • moving from a Professional into an Enterprise version, is it just an upgrade or it requires a  "re-installation"

    • how long will it take
    to do the job  
    • do you have any contingency plan or strategy to suggest

    • is there any guaranty of full compatibility between both versions?
    Thanks for your assistance
     

    María
