Hi Mark,
Thanks for your reply, it triggered me to double check the docs and in chapter
4 I found this:
4.1 Conditions for Performing an Inplace Upgrade
Inplace upgrades are supported only for systems that run Oracle Linux 6 Update
5 or later. The following conditions must also be met:
The system must meet the minimum installation requirements for Oracle Linux 7,
see Section 1.1, “System Requirements”
<https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E52668_01/E54695/html/ol7-install-requirements.html>.
The Oracle Linux 6 system has been completely updated from the
ol6_x86_64_latest channel or ol6_latest repository.
Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 3 (UEK R3) must be installed on
the system and must be the default boot kernel. Upgrading from UEK R2 is not
supported.
The Oracle Linux 6 system must have been installed using the Minimal set of
software.
No Oracle product stack is present on the system.
Thanks, I know enough for now!

I was just reading about this a couple of days ago. Upgrade from OL6 to OL7
without reinstall is very limited. O/S had to have been installed with
Minimum configuration, no Oracle stack can be installed, etc.
My guess is that relink should fix any issues with Oracle dB binaries, but
from a supportability point of view, you would not be in compliance.
You're probably better off building a new cluster and migrating to it.
Hope that helps,
