Unfortunately, there's not possibility in this specific situation to be able to update from 6.3 -> 6.8.
any such external specifications that insist you run an old obsolete
operating system are inherently broken. I hope this server isn't
connected to the internet, and isn't providing any services to untrusted
users.
any RHEL/CentOS 6 compatible applications you have that work on 6.3 that
won't work on 6.8 are broken.
* 6.8's kernel is is still 2.6.32, same as 6.3.
* 6.8's glibc is still 2.12
* 6.8's php is still 5.3
* 6.8's mysql is still 5.1
* 6.8's postgresql is still 8.4
* 6.8's perl is still 5.10
* 6.8's python is still 2.6.6
* etc etc.
all of these components have security and bug fixes from later releases
backported to them.
