Hi,

the official Red Hat Enterprise Linux documentation recommends to install a RHEL8 replica (in place upgrade is not supported), ensure everything works properly and then decommission the RHEL7 server: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/migrating_to_identity_management_on_rhel_8/migrate-7-to-8_migrating

You should make sure to follow the documented steps (adapting with your Linux distribution instead of RHEL) as the new servers must provide exactly the same services as the one you intend to replace (CA, KRA, DNS....)

HTH,
flo

Hello,
I am planning FreeIPA servers’ upgrade from Centos 7 with FreeIPA 4.6.8 to Alma Linux 8.5.
Can I just take out replicas one by one and install fresh Alma Linux, then add back with latest FreeIPA on that replica?
Or do I have to take some special precautions?

If FreeIPA version compatibility is not a concern, perhaps it is even possible to do in-place upgrade with ELevate (Leapp utility) ?

Thank you in advance,
Ivars Strazdins
