i have a version RHEL 7.3 and how i can upgrade to RHEL 7.4
Hi John,
This tool only support the RHEL upgrade from 6 to 7.
If your system has been registered to RHSM, it is very easy for you to upgrade RHEL from 7.3 to 7.4 beta (7.4 hasn't been released yet).
Run the following commands to upgrade:
After successful completion of above commands just reboot your system.
While running pre-check getting error: The module checks for EFI and it forbids an in-place upgrade when the EFI boot loader is present. Is there any fix ?
