Unfortunately there is no upgrade path from the Folsom version that will allow you to keep your existing cloud. You will have to rebuild OpenStack, create new VMs, and migrate your data manually. The URL that Tim Bell posted will help you get up to speed with a newer version (based on Icehouse) that works on Scientific Linux 6.5. Once you are there, however, it won't be possible to upgrade much further while still using Scientific Linux 6.5. Juno will be the end of the road. The Kilo release requires Python 2.7 and other packages that aren't available on 6.5. Since you would need to start with a new cloud, you might want to consider using Scientific Linux 7, which will give you a clear upgrade path for future versions in the coming years.

Hi, Sorry if its bit off-topic. Once I install from fedora community site, is there any upgrade path available for Juno later with Red Hat supported stack ( ves 6? ).

I just noticed you asked for the "latest supported version." For that, you will want Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform, instead of RDO, which is the community version of OpenStack that Tim Bell pointed to. The supported version based on Juno will be available on Scientific Linux 6.5 as soon as it's released. The community version based on Juno will require 7, unless significant community effort is put in to make it work on 6.5 (which may not happen). Here is the URL for the supported version: http://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/linux-platforms/openstack-platform -- Dan Sneddon | Principal OpenStack Engineer dsneddon(a)redhat.com | redhat.com/openstack 650.254.4025 | @dxs on twitter _______________________________________________ Rdo-list mailing list Rdo-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rdo-list
