New server migration

[Scott Walker]

Mark,

Brian White was nice enough to help us out with this last year.


This is from my notes:



CentOS Version 7  Installation Issues 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------


You must have libtermcap.so.2 installed!

 On CentOS 7 you must  first install libc.so.6

	yum install libc.so.6

Then install:

	rpm -ivh compat-libtermcap-2.0.8-50flt.el7.centos.i686.rpm

The above file was provided by Brian.  I can email you a copy if desired.

Scott Walker

My previous comments about XFS were for 32-bit binaries.  The bit depth is
important, as even 6.0.0 comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit.  If you're running
64-bit, you can use inode64 on any filesystem size, and it shouldn't cause
issues.

If you're running 64-bit binaries, compat-libtermcap may still be an issue
(probably is).  I'd have to revisit that directly to confirm or deny.  I
remember that the i686 architecture build target did not exist in the spec
file I got from the official SRPM, but that's only necessary if you run
32-bit binaries.  The package itself likely still needs to be built
properly, so you're not relying on what I remember as being the default
broken configuration.
