SHITSTORMS PENDING

    Quite painless to move to RHEL6/CentOS6, I don't see why there should be any storms of shit. Upgrades and Updates, it's all in a days work.

    Yeah, it only requires an OS reinstall.

    It would be best to spin up a new install rather than wiping out an OS install on what I would presume would be a running node. Once the new box is running, test restoring vzdumps, if they work, the rest is easy. If they don't, migrate your customers VM's by providing a new VPS, and then switch the IP when they are ready to "do the switch" Take about 2-3 months to properly plan and implement with the clients that cannot be restored.

    Try it in SolusVM, take your old CentOS5, and move the VPS's to the CentOS6 node. It works for me.

    Or, I was lazy and rsynced the /vz/private/VEID after creating the VPS on the new node, make sure to stop container on both before rsync...

    There is going to be one from CentOS 6 to CentOS 7.

    http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7

    For the first time, there is a supported upgrade path from CentOS-6 to CentOS-7. This path is only supported from the latest version of CentOS-6 (being 6.5 at the time of writing) to the latest version of CentOS-7. For more information on the upgrade procedure please take a look at this page. The tools needed for this functionality are still being tested and will be released at a later time. If you can help with the testing, please see this CentOS-Devel mailing list thread.

    Good. Maybe now people will stop setting up new SolusVM servers with CentOS 5 and making clients think they have 8TB of RAM.

    In private/corporate environments it's not always so straight-forward.

    What is this straight forward you speak of?

    You wouldn't know it, you strayed from the "straight forward" long ago.

    So what about OpenVZ for RHEL7 / CentOS 7 based kernels then?
