<div>Thanks for the suggestion Michael. I'll definitely use the new Easy-Migrate when the time comes - in a few weeks.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>But that's part of the reason I was hoping to update that older box. I'm stuck up in Dallas for a couple of weeks, and don't have any free time to work on the migration. But the box is throwing some errors from Swatch - and I'd hoped that besides upgrading the migration tools - it might have fixed that every-15-minute Swatch error emails.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>Oh, I also tried using a different site for the repos - changing the "vault.centos.org" to "mirror.nsc.liu.se". I read that they were providing those repos after Centos went down. But that didn't work either.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>Oh well. Guess I'll just put up with the Swatch errors till I can get time to move the box's sites to the new server.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>Thanks for the suggestions buddy.</div>

CentOS 6 and Scientific Linux 6 went EOL on 30th Nov 2020. Shortly
<br />>
afterwards their mirrors were shut down.
<br />>
<br />>
The BlueOnyx mirrors are still up for these deprecated platforms, but a
<br />>
"yum update" will try to poll all mirrors that it has config files for
<br />>
and it then errors out on the CentOS/SL mirrors.
<br />>
<br />>
You can go into /etc/yum.repos.d/ and can move out or delete all but the
<br />>
BlueOnyx related repository files if you want to fetch whatever BlueOnyx
<br />>
updates might missing, though.

The URLs you specified might not be correct then.

In any case: For the migration you should not use CMU. Try to use
<br />>
Easy-Migrate instead, which works a hell of a lot better. And this works
<br />>
in a pull-fashion, so the source server doesn't have to have an updated
<br />>
version of it installed. Instead you run Easy-Migrate from the target
<br />>
server of the migration and it'll connect via SSH to the source server.
<br />>
It then copies a helper script over via SCP, which is used to gather the
<br />>
relevant data. If the target server is fully YUM updated, then you have
<br />>
all you need to perform a successful migration via Easy-Migrate.
<br />>
<br />>
