Where extensive modifications have been made to the "old server (eg SME8.1)", it is recommended to carry out a test backup & restore upgrade first, to discover any problems & ascertain suitable fixes & workarounds. Removing contribs & custom templates before upgrading is recommended.

====Known issues upgrade from SME8====
'''1.''' You might want to check what are the current installed extra rpm on your old SME 8 to be able to simply install them on your new SME 9. Usually this is simply done this way :
# /sbin/e-smith/audittools/newrpms
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, protect-packages, smeserver
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base
YumRepo Error: All mirror URLs are not using ftp, http(s) or file.
Eg. Invalid release/
removing mirrorlist with no valid mirrors: /var/cache/yum/base/mirrorlist.txt
This is because Centos mirror are no longer available. Do not worry there is a workaround :
db yum_repositories setprop base BaseURL 'http://vault.centos.org/5.11/os/$basearch/'
db yum_repositories setprop updates BaseURL 'http://vault.centos.org/5.11/updates/$basearch/'
db yum_repositories delprop base MirrorList
db yum_repositories delprop updates MirrorList
signal-event yum-modify
yum clean all
and then you can issue the good old command without issue:
/sbin/e-smith/audittools/newrpms
