Hello

I want OL 6.10 update to OL 7.6. The result of the command gave the following information, will I have a problem if I install it?

Code:
The '/root/preupgrade/dirtyconf/etc/rsyslog.conf' file already exists in the dirtyconf directory
The '/root/preupgrade/cleanconf/etc/ssh/sshd_config' configuration file already exists in the '/root/preupgrade/cleanconf/etc/ssh' directory
The '/root/preupgrade/dirtyconf/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date' file already exists in the dirtyconf directory

The tarball with results is stored in '/root/preupgrade-results/preupg_results-230330095957.tar.gz' .
The latest assessment is stored in the '/root/preupgrade' directory.
Summary information:
We have found some critical issues. In-place upgrade or migration is not advised.
Read the file /root/preupgrade/result.html for more details.
Please ensure you have backed up your system and/or data
before doing a system upgrade to prevent loss of data in
case the upgrade fails and full re-install of the system
from installation media is needed.
Upload results to UI by the command:
e.g. preupg -u http://example.com:8099/submit/ -r /root/preupgrade-results/preupg_results-230330095957.tar.gz .
 


Contact Oracle support and ask them? As a side note, I wouldn't want to do an in place upgrade from 6 to 7 because 6 still uses systemV and 7 Systemd.
 
Yeah, best to fresh install when jumping major versions.
Going from 7 to 8 and from 8 to 9 with an in place upgrade is fine now days, I have done quite a few successful upgrades using leapp going from 7 to 8. However when going from 6 to 7 you are going from one init system to another init system so more likely things to break then.
 
Yeah, best to fresh install when jumping major versions.

To add to f33dm3's response, I do in-place upgrades fairly often and haven't had any major distro fail at it in a while. If there are drastic changes, then I'll do a new installation.

The last time I did that was when Lubuntu moved from 18.04 to 20.04 - which involved a completely new desktop (and a bunch else behind the scenes) which was LXDE to LXQt.
