Convert Centos to CloudLinux in production

[Marks]

I have a hundred server in production that some accounts are consuming a lot of resources.

I would like to convert to CloudLinux.

Is the process safe? Do you have an article / tutorial for me to perform the procedure?

The process is perfectly fine. I've done it twice now and worked out perfect in both ocasions.

If you are on a vps, make a snapshot though, or backup if you are running on a dedi/can't make snapshots, better safe than sorry

It is perfectly safe, and CloudLinux converter tools will take care of things.

Yeah, make sure you take snapshot/backup for a worry-free switching.

Is a Reboot needed when you convert from CentOS to cloudlinux. ???

 

[pmjcreations]

A reboot isn't needed.

Thanks for the infos. Will have to switch 2 of my servers end of this year to Almalinux. Hope that goes well ;-)

A reboot isn't needed.

Yes, you DO need a reboot after converting to cloudlinux because you get another kernel and they say so themselves. Besides that I've had a converted centos 7 vm not booting with a cloudlinux kernel on xenserver 6.5 once.

Ah, my bad. Yes, the Reboot is needed.
