mysql upgrade post OS upgrade to RHEL 8

[#1]

Hi Team,

We are on CDP 7.1.9 SP1 and on OS version RHEL 7. As RHEL 7 is EOL we are planning to upgrade to RHEL 8 and also mysql 5.7 to 8.  Since it is production environment we are little bit concerned how complex it would be. Our CM services and mysql database of cm and application are residing on the same node.

Kindly suggest apart from taking mysqldump backups and exporting the database/table what else we need to take care of post OS upgrade to rhel 8, I mean I am aware of re-installing el8 cm packages but for mysql we have to install from rpms of el8 so finding it little tricky.
