How do I install the same RPM packages on a new server as an old?
First you need a list of the packages on the old server.
rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}\n" > rpmlist.txt
Copy this file to the new server (for example using SSH).
To bulk install all of the packages installed on the old server
yum install `cat rpmlist.txt|tr '\n' ' '`
You should then be prompted to install all packages missing on the new server.
