From debian to latest version

Question

Hello,

I am currently using OCS inventory server and agent from debian repository. So I used an old version 2.0.5.

This cause me trouble because :

- on RHEL or Centos I have an up to date client which doesn't work with my old server,

- Ocs inventory plugin for glpi doesn't work well with this old server.

The thing is I don't know how to migrate to the new version, as using debian package is very easy to deploy on lot of servers (I use puppet for this).

Upgrading seems very hard as I didn't found any debian package for the lastest release (especially for the agent).

Any idea on  how to proceed ?

Answer 1

Just reinstall the server,  write your own manifest for do the installation from sources, i'm not sure if you're able to use the existent database, but anyway if you preserve the ip/hostname for the new instalation the agents will should be able to report normally in the new versión.

Please let me know if you solve the problem in any way.
