Red Hat 7 migration to Oracle Linux 7

jkinningerMay 17 2018 — edited May 17 2018

We are primarily running SUSE but I do have several RHEL 7 servers that I am looking to migrate to OL. I will be migrating the SUSE servers eventually so we are only running OL but those will be new OL builds with the applications being reinstalled and data migrated over. For the Red Hat servers I was told there was a simple migration from RHEL 7 to OL 7 but cannot find the process to do so. I thought I could use the centos2ol.sh script but that just gave me You appear to be running an unsupported distribution. For assistance, please email <ksplice-support_ww@oracle.com> error message. My current RHEL 7 servers are being managed by SUSE Manager which is similar to Spacewalk and once I get these migrated to OL 7 I will be bootstrapping them into Oracle's Spacewalk to manage them. What I can't figure out is what do I need to do to get my RHEL 7 servers converted? I found a few docs while Googling but they talk about subscription-manager which I am not using as SUSE is providing the support for these RHEL servers.
