I'm hoping to upgrade our OEM 12c in the near future to the latest &
greatest. Since the physical server is well and truly end-of-life, as is the
RHEL5 that runs it, we have decided to take advantage of the situation to
create a new VM with RHEL7 on it and install OEM13c from scratch, with a
gleaming new 12cR2 database to put it's repository in.
Here is the catch - I'm sure it's possible to migrate the 12c repository to
the new server and upgrade it, but in all my googling I've only been able to
find posts from people in the same situation as I. There's plenty of doco on
how to start from scratch, and also on how to upgrade an existing
installation, but none whatsoever on migrating the repository to a beautiful
new installation.
If you've got any experience with this scenario, or know of some
documentation, please share?
It seems like there's been a lot of chatter about this very topic
lately:

I'm in about the same situation as you. From what I've found, to move
to RHEL7 will require an intermediate jump to RHEL6, if you follow the
certifications of EM versions to OS versions. Here's a very abbreviated
table of the EM version support matrix:
OMS
Linux x86-64
Repo DB
Target Oracle DB
13.2
OL6, OL7
12.1.0.2
11.2.0.3, 12.1.0.2
12.1.0.5
OL5, OL6
11.2.0.3, 12.1.0.2
11.2.0.3, 12.1.0.2
I have yet to see any value in moving to OL7 in my situation, so I'll
likely stick with OL6 for now (I hate Gnome3 anyway), saving the
intermediate jump.
HTH! GL! And don't forget to share the fun you'll be having with your
move!

p.s. For the sake of this and most other messes, I treat RHEL versions
to be the same as OL (Oracle Linux) versions.
