Hello, @Pselvin. What version of CentOS are you using right now? Run:
cat /etc/*release*
You need to download and install the same version of XI on the RHEL 7 server and then restore from a backup taken on the old XI server:

@Pselvin, Ok, you can migrate using the backup and restore procedure.

Just make sure that both servers have the same version of XI installed prior to that.

You can use this KB article to install XI on the new server:

If you need to download an older version of XI, here's the link:
