Instead, you can convert from Scientific Linux to RHEL 7 and then perform an in-place upgrade to RHEL 8. It is not possible to directly convert from Scientific Linux to RHEL 8. If you are unable to upgrade to RHEL 7 or upgrade to RHEL 8 after the conversion, and require continued maintenance for RHEL 6 after this date, we recommend that you purchase the Extended Life Cycle Support Add-on (ELS).

RHEL 6 is in the Maintenance Support 2 Phase of its life cycle. For information on supported conversions, see Converting from an RPM-based Linux distribution to RHEL. In addition to the above unsupported conversion paths, it is also possible to perform a supported conversion from CentOS Linux and Oracle Linux 7 and 8 to RHEL 7 and 8. Available unsupported conversion pathsĬurrently, it is possible to perform an unsupported conversion of your systems from the following Linux distributions, architectures, and versions to the corresponding minor versions of RHEL listed in the table below. If you attempt to perform an unsupported conversion using instructions for supported conversions, or the reverse, you might run into issues during the conversion process. If you are performing a supported conversion, you must use the Converting from an RPM-based distribution to RHEL guide.

If you are performing an unsupported conversion, use this Knowledgebase article for instructions about how to prepare your system and perform the conversion.

For a full list of supported conversion paths, see Supported conversion paths in the Converting from an RPM-based Linux distribution to RHEL guide. For a full list of unsupported conversion paths, see the table below. For example, the conversion from CentOS Linux 6 to RHEL 6 is unsupported, while the conversion from CentOS Linux 7 to RHEL 7 is supported. Supported conversions are thoroughly tested by Red Hat prior to release.ĭifferent conversion paths are available as supported or unsupported conversions. However, unsupported conversions are not tested by Red Hat and should therefore be performed at your own risk. Red Hat allows conversions from several different RHEL-derived operating systems to RHEL. Differences between supported and unsupported conversions Packages that are available only in the original distribution and do not have corresponding counterparts in RHEL repositories, or third-party packages, which originate neither from the original Linux distribution nor from RHEL, are not affected by the conversion. At the end of the process, it is necessary to restart the system to boot into the RHEL kernel. The Convert2RHEL utility replaces all RPM packages from the original Linux distribution by their RHEL version. The automated conversion process is performed on a running system. If you encounter any issues with the Convert2RHEL utility, file an issue in GitHub. See the Red Hat policy on supporting third-party software.

Red Hat support may not be provided for the third-party packages that are left unchanged during the conversion process. The Red Hat packages installed as part of a successfully converted system are automatically eligible for Red Hat support. Red Hat recommends that you seek the support of Red Hat Consulting services to ensure that the conversion process is smooth.

For more information, see Converting from an RPM-based Linux distribution to RHEL. The conversion from CentOS Linux and Oracle Linux to RHEL 7 and 8 is supported by Red Hat. The conversion is performed by the Convert2RHEL utility, which is available on GitHub, and is unsupported by Red Hat for these scenarios. This document provides instructions on how to perform an unsupported conversion of your operating system from a different Linux distribution to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
