Cent OS to Oracle Enterprise Linux

Seamlessly migrate from CentOS to Oracle Enterprise Linux.

There are a few reasons to convert from Cent OS to Oracle Enterprise Linux:

  • Oracle Enterprise Linux is a supported platform for running Oracle databases and applications.

  • Oracle Enterprise Linux is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, so it has access to Red Hat's support infrastructure and knowledge base.

  • Oracle Enterprise Linux is free to download and use.

  • Oracle Enterprise Linux provides better performance and stability than Cent OS.

We display the contents of the "/etc/centos-release" file, which shows we have a CentOS installation.

cat /etc/centos-release

We need to download the package from the github using crul

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oracle/centos2ol/main/centos2ol.sh

After downloading Run the Script and wait for a while it will convert Cent OS to OEL 7.9

We need to reboot after script execution.

init 6
