You can use the centos2ol.sh script to convert CentOS 5 and 6 or Scientific Linux 5 and 6 systems to Oracle Linux. The script configures yum to use the Oracle Linux yum server and installs a few additional packages that are required. There is no need to reboot the system.
To perform the switch to Oracle Linux, run the following commands as
root:
#curl -O https://linux.oracle.com/switch/centos2ol.sh#sh centos2ol.sh
