How to upgrade from CentOS 6 to 7

11/03/2014 by namhuy Leave a Comment

CentOS 7 was released few months ago which I was

very excited, but I have been waiting for a while for
bugs fixing. Usually when any Linux distro is released,
they usually comes with unknow bugs which may break
your system. CentOS is always my favorite linux distro
since its a very stable distro, and CentOS is basically
RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) but its free. Lets

How to upgrade from CentOS 6 to 7 - Nam Huy Linux

talk a little bit about new version of CentOS, CentOS 7

comes with systemd which incorporates features that
help enhance scalability and optimize performance,
Docker (open-source engine that automates deploy any
application) integration, and many more great new
features:
Supports For Linux Containers
XFS as the default filesystem
Updated kernel to 3.10.0
LVM-snapshots with ext4 and XFS
Switched from MySQL to MariaDB
Support up to 40G Ethernet Cards
Support instalations in UEFI mode
Comes with VMware Tools & 3D graphics drivers
For full CentOS release notes, you can visit http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7
At the time Im writing, CentOS 7 only comes with x86_64 version, we are
expected to see 32 bit x86, ARM, and PowerPC releases later. So, if you have old
32bit version of CentOS 6, if you want to use CentOS 7, you will have to clean
install CentOS 7 x86_64 (if your cpu and motherboard supports x86_64). The
good new is, if you are using CentOS 6 x86_64 or 64 bit version of CentOS 6, you
can upgrade to CentOS 7 without reinstall your whole system again.
** Before we do anything, I have tested upgrading from CentOS 6 to 7 on several systems, there are risks
involved. It means after upgrading, some of the services will not be 100% functional. Luckily, preupg will
analyze and let you know the risk factors before you actually do the upgrade.
So lets get started!

Update your current CentOS 6 system

Before you do anything, you should update all your packages to the newest versions to avoid any problem
later on.
# yum -y update

Check your current CentOS 6 version

How to upgrade from CentOS 6 to 7 - Nam Huy Linux

You can upgrade from CentOS 6.5 or 6.6 to 7, if you have older version, you should update your CentOS 6 to
the newest version which is 6.6 as of Im writing this.
# cat /etc/redhat-release

This is the output on my machine

CentOS release 6.6 (Final)

Install some required packages and upgrade tools

You may have these packages installed on your system, but in case you dont, you will need to install them.
yum -y install openscap pcre-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel m2crypto
python-simplejson mod_wsgi

Starting from RHEL 7, Red Hat start to support for upgrading to major releases (RHEL 6.5 > RHEL 7) via
a tool called redhat-upgrade-tool.
To install upgarde tools, there are two ways to do it. Easy/quick way is to create a new repo file, or the
long/hard way is to download each package and install them. Im going to show you both ways.
The long way: the tools you need should be available to download at
http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/upg/x86_64/Packages/ The files you will need are:
preupgrade-assistant
preupgrade-assistant-contents
preupgrade-assistant-ui
redhat-upgrade-tool
To download and install those packages:
# cd /etc
# wget http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/upg/x86_64/Packages/preupgrade-assistant-1.0.233.0.3.el6.centos.x86_64.rpm http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/upg/x86_64/Packages/preupgradeassistant-contents-0.5.13-1.0.5.el6.centos.noarch.rpm
http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/upg/x86_64/Packages/preupgrade-assistant-ui-1.0.233.0.3.el6.centos.x86_64.rpm http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/upg/x86_64/Packages/redhat-upgradetool-0.7.22-3.el6.centos.noarch.rpm
# yum localinstall preupgrade-assistant-*

Another way to install preupgrade and redhat upgrade tools is to add a new repo file. So lets create a new

repo file named upgradetool.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/

# nano /etc/yum.repos.d/upgradetool.repo

gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

The command to install preupgrade and redhat upgrade tools

# yum -y install redhat-upgrade-tool preupgrade-assistant-contents

Run preupgrade assistant

As I mentioned about preupg (Preupgrade Assistant), preupg does not do the actual upgrading but will check
for potential problems you might get from upgrading from CentOS 6 to 7. To run preupg
# preupg

preupg will ask you if you want to continue, say yes

[root@namhuy ~]# preupg

Preupg tool doesn't do the actual upgrade.
Please ensure you have backed up your system and/or data in the event of a failed upgrade
that would require a full re-install of the system from installation media.
Do you want to continue? y/n

This is the result preupg tool give me for my system

FIXED: incompatibility was detected, but there are solutions to fix by
running postupgrade.d scripts after the upgrade.

Upgrade from CentOS 6 to 7

Once you run preupg tool and reviewing the errors, risks in the results, you should be ready to upgrade from
CentOS 6 to 7. You will need to import the CentOS 6 RPM key
# rpm --import http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7

Finally, run this command to upgrade

1 # centos-upgrade-tool-cli --network 7 --instrepo=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/

You can choose another mirror which is close to you for faster download, the full mirror list is available at
http://www.centos.org/download/mirrors/

Preupgrade assistant risk check found risks for this upgrade.
You can run preupg --riskcheck --verbose to view these risks.
Addressing high risk issues is required before the in-place upgrade
and ignoring these risks may result in a broken upgrade and unsupported upgrade.

Continue with the upgrade [Y/N]?

After running the centos-upgrade-tool-cli command, centos-upgrade-tool-cli gives me a list of issues if I do

the upgrade. There are some differences between Centos 6 and 7 as HIGH issues show. I will go ahead and
say yes to get the upgrading process started. centos-upgrade-tool-cli will ask you to reboot after download
some pacakges, go ahead and reboot your system to complete the upgrade.
# reboot

When your system is booted up, check your system if its Centos 7
# cat /etc/redhat-release

This is what I see after the upgrade

1 CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 (Core)
