Red Hat 6 and 7 infrastructure migration to RHUI v3
Migration information
Currently OTC Image Factory team plans an infrastructure migration to latest Red Hat Update Infrastucture (RHUI) v3 in German region eu-de! Therefore all existing ECS servers running a OTC public image of Red Hat 6 and 7 without BYOL are affected.
New RHUI v3 will be available at new URL rhui.eu-de.otc-service.com.
Please be aware that OTC public services are running within two IP address blocks: 100.64.0.0/10 and 198.19.0.0/16. Whitelisting both blocks is sufficient.

Our roadmap and migration steps
Please find our roadmap and recommendations down below:
| Step | Change | Date | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Switch new Red Hat 6 and 7 servers to RHUI v3 | 04.10.2021 | Done |
| 2 | Provide update package for migration of existing Red Hat 6 and 7 servers to new RHUI v3 | 11.10.2021 | Done |
| 3 | Removal of old DNS entries and infrastructure retirement of old RHUI | 10.01.2022 | Done |
1. New Red Hat 6 and 7 servers
This change has not a quite impact as all new servers using a public OTC Red Hat 6 and 7 image without BYOL will point to RHUI v3 URL rhui.eu-de.otc-service.com by default. Please consider to whitelist the two above mentioned IP blocks.
2. Migration of existing Red Hat 6 and 7 servers
In general our public OTC Red Hat 6 and 7 images are getting configured during first boot by Openstack vendordata and cloud-init. This process configures a repository and installs a package depends on Red Hat image version. OTC Image Factory will provide an update of this package within above communicated date. Please consider to whitelist the two above mentioned IP blocks.
Prior to perform migration, please check first whether the following repository is still configured and enabled!
Red Hat 6
Login to server + switch to root user and check configured repositories.
$ sudo -i
$ yum repolist all

Clear yum cache again
$ yum clean all -
Create fresh yum cache and check Repo-mirrors and Repo-baseurl output regarding new URL rhui.eu-de.otc-service.com. Please be patient as this can take a little bit more time.
Old URLs like e.g. rhui-cds01.eu-de.otc-service.com or rhui-cds02.eu-de.otc-service.com must not be configured anymore.
$ yum repolist all -v -
Skip for Red Hat 7 users - Please remove old repository file.
$ rm /etc/yum.repos.d/OTC-rhel6-rhui-rpm.repo -
Skip for Red Hat 6 users - Please remove old repository file.
$ rm /etc/yum.repos.d/OTC-rhel7-rhui-rpm.repo -
Now the server has been successfully switched to new RHUI v3 infrastructure. Please get in contact with our OTC support, if you encounter any issues during migration steps.
