license issue from RHEL to centos after converting .
Posted: 2015/07/09 09:59:49
we've got many Redhat Enterprise Linux(RHEL) 5. and I want to convert servers over to CentOS to save on licensing costs.
I searched 2 sites.
centos.org http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide
softlayer.com : http://knowledgelayer.softlayer.com/pro ... hat-centos
question 1. In softlayer, they say there are no issue to convert if uninstall "redhat-release, yum-rhn-plugin,rhn-client-tools rhn-setup rhn-check rhn-virtualization-common rhnsd"
In here, we run rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME} %{VENDOR} \n" | grep "Red" | wc -l ==> 640
but, In centos.org, they added some procedure after working guide in softlayer ,
yum reinstall $(rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME} %{VENDOR} \n" | grep "RedHat".
In here, we run rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME} %{VENDOR} \n" | grep "Red" | wc -l ==> 16
Is there any issue if we run by softlayer guide.?
question 2 , after reinstall all package , we found we can;t reinstall some package
rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME} %{VENDOR} \n" | grep "Red"
=========================================
rhnlib
rhnsd
gnome-desktop
subscription-manager-firstboot
python-rhsm
rhel-instnum
rhn-setup
rhn-setup-gnome
pango
pango
rhn-client-tools
subscription-manager-gnome
subscription-manager
kernel
rhn-check
gnome-desktop
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I removed all rpm by rpm -e --nodep, but we can't remove, and reinstall pango,,,
Is there any license issue if we leave some RedHat rpm in our server by redhat?
