Our company is running UniVerse 11.3.5.1002 on RHEL 7.8. We have been running this OS / UV combination for two years since migrating off Solaris. We are in the midst of an OS upgrade to RHEL 8.10 on our UV servers.

Our strategy is to first run an in-place upgrade on a development machine. We've decided against creating a RHEL 8 server from scratch followed by the install of UV. After a certain amount of time running on the dev server, the plan is to upgrade the production servers in a similar fashion.

Are there any special considerations or specific "gotchas" we should be aware of? I understand this is an ambiguous question without posting more details about our setup. Our SysAdmin group have had challenges upgrading a cloned server, but nothing related to the existence of a UV installation.

By no means are we trying to get out of doing the work ourselves. The UV and SysAdmin groups are working together during our clone upgrades and subsequent server upgrades. We will be opening a support case with Rocket and supplying more details with the hope of some pointers in return. I'm hoping there are individuals on the forum that may have any valuable insight. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Mark Olarte
