found this searching for info on ERA_Appliance upgrade path from 6.3 to 6.4. I have two 6.3 ERA_Appliances running under VirtualBox. A week ago I set about my first deployment under KVM/QEMU. I created a new VM and connected it to the qcow2 disk file I converted from the vmdk contained in the OVA. The only GRUB selection that would boot was the 'rescue' selection. Normal boot failed to locate root. Then I noticed CENTOS 7 during startup (vs CENTOS 6.7 on the VirtualBox hosts) and realized I was using a newer version of the Appliance. The v6.3 Appliance converted and runs fine under KVM/QEMU. I'm happy to see it running, but I'm curious about the upgrade path: CENTOS Wiki advises against in place upgrade from 6.7 to 7 as several of the packages in 6.7 are of a higher version than is included with 7. Any others using ERA_Appliance.ova under KVM/QEMU?
