Actions on RHEL 7 Machine

To migrate to the RHEL 8 and 9, follow the below preparatory steps in RHEL 7 machine.

To migrate to the RHEL 8 and 9:

1.

Upgrade RPM using the below command:

rpm -U csi-7.6.1.29-0.el7.x86_64.php7.rpm

2.

Create admin migration user using the below command:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'mig_admin'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'MIG_ADMIN' WITH GRANT OPTION;

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

3.

Stop the services using the below commands:

systemctl stop scandaemon

systemctl stop sgdaemon

systemctl stop haproxy

4.

Connect to the database and truncate nsi_result table from all the private databases for fast completion:

TRUNCATE ca_<custid>.nsi_result;(delete from all partitions).

TRUNCATE ca.scan_queue; (Ideally no entries, when scan is not pending)

5.

Check for enough disk space, tmp space, free RAM before proceeding.

6.

Make sure that Apache service is running in both the servers.

Note:If upgrading RPM on RHEL7 is not possible, run installationProcess.sh on the RHEL8 box after the database migration completes.
