Applies to:

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

OS Management Hub (OSMH)

Linux x86-64

 

Goal

This document describes how an OCI Instance can be upgraded from Oracle Linux 7 to Oracle Linux 8 using Leapp

Note: Instances managed with the Oracle OS Management Hub (OSMH) are supported by Leapp. See:

 

Solution

The Leapp utility is a framework for updating and upgrading operating systems as well as applications. The utility's component packages enable the creation of different workflows into profiles for updating software.

Currently, the Leapp utility is used to upgrade the operating systems only, specifically, from the current Oracle Linux 7 release to the current Oracle Linux 8 version. The procedures in this document do not apply to and are unsupported on any other operating systems or versions.

Howdy, Stranger!
