Rocky Linux - Centos EOL

[dnehoda]

Just as a heads up - our current OVA’s will be replaced by Rocky Linux in our next release.  

Centos 7 is slated to be end of life on June 30, 2024. 

Please reach out here with questions.

Hi @dnehoda does this mean we need to re-install all OVA-based actors and directors?

[dnehoda]

Not immediately but yes they will need to be replaced at some point.

I would greatly appreciate a small operational guide with all the necessary steps. 😊

For example, how do I reinstall an actor without losing all the configurations? Is it necessary to backup the Director before reinstalling it, and then restore the backup on the new installation to avoid losing all the configurations and data?

Thank you.

Paolo

The actors only have job data but it can all be accessed via the Director.

Now, the on prem director is a different story. Not sure what the SOP is
yet but it will certainly require a new VM and a backup of the old
director.
