Testing RHEL Upgrade for Oracle 11GR2

in Linux Operating System (MOSC) Question

We have an SMP box with several database installations on their own dedicated file systems.  These are all Oracle 11.2.0.4 Standalone databases.  The issue we are having is that we need to upgrade the RHEL release from 5.11 to 7.4 and cannot perform that upgrade in place.

Does anyone see any problems with building up a new server with RHEL 7.4, unmounting the file systems from the 5.11 server, and remounting on the new 7.4 server?  I assume that each set of Oracle binaries in the file systems would need to be relinked.

Management wants to perform the process to test the RHEL upgrade.  Once testing is complete, would the reverse process need to occur to run from the 5.11 server again?  Unmount, mount, relink binaries?

Howdy, Stranger!
