What is the correct way or the best way to migrate all the servers to FC5 ?? I can use yum to migrate from FC2 to FC5 ??

PLease explaint hot to do this !

Thanks a lot sirs

Im migrating from FC2 to FC3 one live system without issues, i googling about migrate FC3 to FC4 issues

well you can, I just dont recommend it. The safer alternative would be to make a backup, rekick the box with the OS you want, and restore into it.

Im know Scott, i read the problem is that i have all my servers in a datacenter and dont phisicall acces to it. Another problem is the downtime, to reconfigure all the services, firewall, reintall plesk, erc.
I know thath no is the correct way, but i need speed in upgrade my OS.

However thanks a lot sir

I don't think you can go from FC2 to FC5 like that. I went from FC4 to FC5 via yum on my workstation, but I don't think earlier versions work as cleanly. If you want a longer lifecycle for your OS I recommend migrating away from Fedora to something like CentOS. CentOS 4 will have updates at least till something like 2012.

By the way, Plesk is not yet supported on FC5.

I also have a script that would let you reinstall the OS on a box remotely with CentOS4, without needing to be at the console. They are available here:

Thanks Scott you are my Guru.
I see your scripts and is posible that i migrate to CentOS.
However thanks a lot
