Red Hat 6 and 7 infrastructure migration to RHUI v3

Migration information

Currently OTC Image Factory team plans an infrastructure migration to latest Red Hat Update Infrastucture (RHUI) v3 in German region eu-de! Therefore all existing ECS servers running a OTC public image of Red Hat 6 and 7 without BYOL are affected.

New RHUI v3 will be available at new URL rhui.eu-de.otc-service.com. !! Please be aware that OTC public services are running within two IP address blocks: 100.64.0.0/10 and 198.19.0.0/16. Whitelisting both blocks is sufficient. Visit here for more detailed information: OTC public services

Our roadmap and migration steps

Please find our roadmap and recommendations down below:

Step	Change	Date	Status
1	Switch new Red Hat 6 and 7 servers to RHUI v3	04.10.2021	Done
2	Provide update package for migration of existing Red Hat 6 and 7 servers to new RHUI v3	11.10.2021	Done
3	Removal of old DNS entries and infrastructure retirement of old RHUI	10.01.2022	Done

1. New Red Hat 6 and 7 servers

This change has not a quite impact as all new servers using a public OTC Red Hat 6 and 7 image without BYOL will point to RHUI v3 URL rhui.eu-de.otc-service.com by default. Please consider to whitelist the two above mentioned IP blocks.

2. Migration of existing Red Hat 6 and 7 servers

In general our public OTC Red Hat 6 and 7 images are getting configured during first boot by Openstack vendordata and cloud-init. This process configures a repository and installs a package depends on Red Hat image version. OTC Image Factory will provide an update of this package within above communicated date. Please consider to whitelist the two above mentioned IP blocks.

!! Prior to perform migration, please check first whether the following repository is still configured and enabled!

Step by step migration

Switch to root user

$ sudo -i

Clear yum cache

$ yum clean all

Create fresh yum cache

$ yum repolist all

Skip for Red Hat 7 users - Do an update of package rhui-rhel6-repos from version 0.3-1 to 2.1-0.1 for Red Hat 6

$ yum update rhui-rhel6-repos

Clear yum cache again

$ yum clean all

Create fresh yum cache and check Repo-mirrors and Repo-baseurl output regarding new URL rhui.eu-de.otc-service.com. Please be patient as this can take a little bit more time. !! Old URLs like e.g. rhui-cds01.eu-de.otc-service.com or rhui-cds02.eu-de.otc-service.com must not be configured anymore.

$ yum repolist all -v

Skip for Red Hat 7 users - Please remove old repository file.

$ rm /etc/yum.repos.d/OTC-rhel6-rhui-rpm.repo

Skip for Red Hat 6 users - Please remove old repository file.

$ rm /etc/yum.repos.d/OTC-rhel7-rhui-rpm.repo

Now the server has been successfully switched to new RHUI v3 infrastructure. Please get in contact with our OTC support, if you encounter any issues during migration steps.

3. Removal of old DNS entries and infrastructure retirement

Old RHUI infrastructure will be in place and still delivers latest package updates until the above communicated date.

The following old DNS entries will be retired:

Old DNS
rhui-cds01.otc-service.com
rhui-cds02.otc-service.com
rhui-cds01.eu-de.otc-service.com
rhui-cds02.eu-de.otc-service.com
