Hello,

I have only Cento's ISO 7 available in dedicated panel. I have also RedHat license 7.2 and i want to use it. Is there any way to replace Centos on Redhat ?

Cheers,

I'm not totally clear what you're asking here. Is this about migrating from Centos to RHEL 7?

Yes, exaclly.

I can only install Centos.

Hello Michał,

Why are you unable to install RHEL 7.2? If you have a subscription (you call it a license) you are allowed to download the ISO of RHEL 7.2.

Do you have internet access issues?

Kind regards,

OVH dosen't have a RedHat iso for my account. OVH has only Centos 6.X and 7.X.

Michal,

Is "OVH" a service provider for cloud-based servers that you happen to be using? When I performed a google search of "OVH", I found www.ovh.com which seems to be a cloud computing company offering cloud computing services.

I haven't used OVH, but their web-based "dedicated panel", they may have some non-interactive way of you clicking web links in order to build the system you have with OVH. The OVH cloud provider doesn't seem to offer RHEL, but they at their website offer CentOS and their restricted set of Operating Systems https://www.ovh.com/us/dedicated-servers/distributions/.

I couldn't find anything at their website except this archived google cache of where OVH says they (at one time) offered Red Hat as a choice.

I'd recommend contacting their support to see if they have a means to allow Red Hat based on that Google Cached page they had.

The supported method is to reinstall with RHEL.

(regarding the solution ID) Jamie, from the context, it seems Michal is looking to load his OVH server with RHEL. I suspect English is a second language for him yet, it seems his OVH provider is only providing CentOS, but at one time they did support RHEL. It seems he wants to do an initial load to RHEL, but the provider seems to only offer CentOS. I might be wrong, but from the context, I suspect that is the case.

Michal, try contacting the OVH provider, in my previous post, I mentioned they at some point did offer RHEL and maybe they still do.
