When I have upgraded in the past it upgrades the current config. It also backs up the config before upgrade; I think under /var/log/cobbler/backups. If you are worried you can tar up /etc/cobbler and /var/lib/cobbler beforehand.

If your cobbler server is a VM, you could snapshot it before upgrading :)

rpm -ql cobbler will give you an idea of what to backup before you upgrade cobbler.

Don't forget cobbler-web if you have that.

Is it as easy as yum update cobbler cobbler-web?  I’d rather not have to rebuild or install a new server for this.

Guys I haven’t found any clear guide to upgrade from 2.4.4 to 2.6.3 is there a doc or guide out there, or something?

 

Cheers
