[rhn-users] Trying to update to glibc version higher thanor equal to 2.3.4

[Mansour, Michael]

Hi Jun,

My advice, use CloneZilla to image your server. Perform and upgrade from
RHEL3 to RHEL4 using the install CD's, see what breaks and what can be
fixed. Take another image of your newly upgraded system. Re-deploy your
old image back onto the server so everything is back to the way it was.

If you have a like system, deploy that newly upgraded image onto that
and see if you can work out any problems.

Your other option would be to build a new RHEL4 server and slowly
migrate your apps of the old server.

Regards,

Michael.

I called Matlab, they told me exactly the thing: at least rhel 4 is
required. I've never upgraded the RHEL, say to do it from 3 to 5, what
kind of impact on existing applications? I have database and webserver
running.

I would check with Matlab to see if they have a tested version that runs
on Red Hat Linux and which version they support. They may no longer
support RHEL-3 and expect you to be running RHEL-4/5.
