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

·
        
Informix Dynamic Server Version 9.30.UC3

 

O.S

·
        
Red Hat 7.3

·
        
Kernel: Linux 2.4.18-3smp / Apr 18 07:27:31 2002 i686

·
        
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
