Re: Migrating from AS3 to AS4 - experiences w/ upgrade vs. reinstall?

Hello,

I would like to here some best practice procedures on this process. I tried an upgrade from 3 to 4 on a test box and it did not work. I have done some research on the Internet and what I can tell Redhat does not recommend using the the upgrade process that is part of the install but recommends a fresh install. I have read about a process just to install the kernel. I do not know if this is a best practice or yet another process that may work.

So what is the best practice of upgrading Redhat from 3 to 4? What do most people do?

Redhat doesn't support upgrades from RHAS 2, but does support
3 -> 4.

We have RHEL AS3 Update 7 and are considering upgrading to the current RHEL AS4 to gain the additional hardware support of the 2.6 kernel.

We would like to do the upgrade rather than reinstalling everything from scratch. Is this just an empty hope, or does this stand a reasonable chance of success?

Experiences, anyone?

Thanks.
