I am using centos 5.8 in xencenter , i need to upgrade to centos6.5.
i tried with yum update it will updated to centos 5.10 only,please any one help me.
Thanks,

I am guessing that you are trying to update a virtual machine. If this is the case then you can try the following.
Boot your CentOS 5.8 VM using the CentOS6 ISO
On the initial screen press tab
when the boot command appears, append upgradeany
vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img upgradeany
When you pass the language and devices selections and the system is done examining the storage, you will be prompted if you want to upgrade an existing installation and be shown a drop down list of versions that were found.

I have a google VM instance which was running flawlessly. It has Centos-7 and Plesk installed in it.
I just stopped it, upgraded machine type (to better CPU and RAM) and started it again. My server stopped responding at all. No websites are running, I can't connect to SSH & Google Cloud SDK Shell is unable to reach server. It says NETWORK ERROR, CONNECTION TIMED OUT. My all other instances works well.
I tried rebooting & resetting multiple times. Reading out stuff from internet since last 6 hours but for no luck. I also tried to clone disk of the instance and creating new instance with the cloned disk but for no luck. Same network connection issue. May be something in OS got corrupted? Please suggest. I have a number of websites hosted on the server which are down due to this. Thanks a lot in advance.
I took screenshot of my VM using Google Cloud Shell. It is as follows:
I connected with serial console which is as follows:
While creating a ticket with google, I found that they've posted some information under "Known Issues". I am pasting the whole stuff as there is no direct link to reach there. The symptoms they told were exactly what was happening to me:

Description:
We are experiencing an issue with Google Compute Engine instances running RHEL and CentOS 7 and 8. More details on this issue are available in the following article and bugs: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5272311 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1861977 (RHEL 8) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1862045 (RHEL 7) Symptoms: Instances running RHEL and CentOS 7 and 8 that run yum update may fail to boot after restart with errors messages referring to a combination of: "X64 Exception Type - 0D(#GP - General Protection) CPU Apic ID", "FXSAVE_STATE" or "Find image based on IP". This issue affects instances with specific versions of the shim package installed. To find the currently installed shim version, use the following command: rpm -q shim-x64 Affected shim versions: CentOS 7: shim-x64-15-7.el7_9.x86_64 CentOS 8: shim-x64-15-13.el8.x86_64 RHEL 7: shim-x64-15-7.el7_8.x86_64 RHEL 8: shim-x64-15-14.el8_2.x86_64 Workaround: Do not update or reboot instances running RHEL or CentOS 7 and 8. If you are on an affected shim version, run yum downgrade shim\* grub2\* mokutil to downgrade to the correct version. This command may not work on CentOS 8. If you have already rebooted, you will need to attach the disk to another instance, chroot into the disk, then run the yum downgrade command. We will provide an update by Thursday, 2020-07-30 14:00 US/Pacific with current details.

How to diagnose:
Instances running RHEL and CentOS 7 and 8 that run yum update may fail to boot after restart with errors messages referring to a combination of: "X64 Exception Type - 0D(#GP - General Protection) CPU Apic ID", "FXSAVE_STATE" or "Find image based on IP". This issue affects instances with specific versions of the shim package installed. To find the currently installed shim version, use the following command: rpm -q shim-x64 Affected shim versions: CentOS 7: shim-x64-15-7.el7_9.x86_64 CentOS 8: shim-x64-15-13.el8.x86_64 RHEL 7: shim-x64-15-7.el7_8.x86_64 RHEL 8: shim-x64-15-14.el8_2.x86_64
Workaround:
Do not update or reboot instances running RHEL or CentOS 7 and 8. If you are on an affected shim version, run yum downgrade shim\* grub2\* mokutil to downgrade to the correct version. This command may not work on CentOS 8. If you have already rebooted, you will need to attach the disk to another instance, chroot into the disk, then run the yum downgrade command.
Running a Laravel installation on a RedHat Enterprise Linux 7 server using PHP 7.1. I can see php-pgsql.x86_64 listed in the available yum packages, but it doesn't appear to be compatible with PHP 7.1 (and indeed is listed as version 5.4.16-43.el7_4.1).
On a lark, I tried installing it anyway and physically moved the pgsql.ini and pdo_pgsql.ini files from /etc/php.d into the relevant PHP 7.1 folder /etc/opt/rh/rh-php71/php.d/ (and did the same with the .so files they reference), but that returns an error indicating that the package couldn't be read (undefined symbol: file_globals_id in Unknown on line 0).
Has anyone managed to get PHP 7.1 talking to PostgreSQL on RHEL 7?
The sysadmin who originally created the server for me set me straight. The problem was I was looking in the wrong repository for the packages I needed for my particular PHP installation. Running the following two commands did the trick:
sudo yum install --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rhui-REGION-rhel-server-rhscl rh-php71-php-odbc
sudo yum install --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rhui-REGION-rhel-server-rhscl rh-php71-php-pgsql
We then added those two packages to the Ansible playbook so future generations would not suffer needlessly.
I wanna to install openmotif22 on centos 7 but I get the message from installer “Sorry, this did not work. The file is not supported.”
Can you share with us the command you are using to perform the install as well as the exact package you are attempting to install.
Are you using the steps documented here:
https://centos.pkgs.org/7/puias-computational-x86_64/openmotif22-2.2.3-19.sdl7.x86_64.rpm.html
I learn that RHEL and Centos has the exact same source code. So my question here is if one application built for RHEL 6.4, could we just install and make it running on Centos 6.4 without any update?
And another question is RHEL and Centos will always use the same version number for the same source code, right?
Yes, software built on RHEL 6.4 should work as-is on CentOS 6.4 (assuming you don't depend on one of the relatively few RHEL-specific details, mostly to do with branding).
CentOS, except where necessary, uses upstream RHEL sources unmodified. When they need to modify a package they indicate that in the release notes and in the release field of the RPM in question.
I want to update my dedicate Centos Machine, which installed WHM. I want to know that if I do update the OS, there any changes on WHM. Like any default Setting changed? or any other Problems.
So please suggest me that right way of update Centos without any problems, because many websites hosted on this Server.
Thanks

Pankaj, because there are many changes in a major CentOS release you cannot upgrade from 5.10 to 6.5. You need to put together a migration plan. First install CentOS 6.5 on another server, configure httpd and php/passenger/whichever and test that each hosted website is working properly. Then you can reinstall and reconfigure everything.
Give CentOS 7 a try.
Upgrading is not possible and even if you try around doing some search you will end up wasting lot of time by fixing the dependency related errors etc. So its always better and safe to do a fresh install of CentOS 6.5 and then migrate the sites.
