Update csgfs without breaking things

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I don't know about GFS 6.1 (CentOS 4) but it is now possible to upgrade 
GFS 6.0 (CentOS 3) on a node in a cluster just using normal yum update & 
install.  You don't have to do every node at the same time either.

I certainly recommend that you do some testing on a test cluster, at 
least till you know your update procedure works.
