Browsing around the Web looking to see how I can upgrade an Oracle Linux 7.8 server running the RHCK kernel to Oracle Linux 8.2 in-place I have come up empty. Is this possible? I read several articles about 6 to 7 and found a few articles for RHEL and CentOS but nothing for Oracle Linux.
I did notice there are no Spacewalk channels for OL 8 yet so it doesn't look like I would be able to manage them with Spacewalk yet. I am being tasked to look at the options to upgrade to 8 and I know I'll have a few servers that will request in-place upgrades so going to try this route on a test server to see and document the process. Unfortunately, as I noted above I am unable to find anything about upgrading from 7 to 8 so reaching out to see if in fact this is doable and if so is there a guide or basic steps one needs to take in order to perform this in-place upgrade.
