So, is it live yet? :-)
Almost. Another several more hours before they all sync, and then we're good to go.
Really?? Excellent, you rock guys!
BTW, how does this work? If I want to go from 5.2 to 5.3, can I just type "yum upgrade"? If so, what /etc/yum.repos.d entry has to be active for that?
Minor version upgrades (eg 5.2 > 5.3): yum update
Not sure it matters but I usually do
yum update yum rpm yum clean all yum update
I heard elsewhere that there can be problems if you do not update glibc before updating the rest of the OS. I heard that after two of my boxes were already updated the above way and they didn't experience any issues, so maybe it was bogus, but it certainly can't hurt to do
yum update glibc
first.
remote server, be sure to do it inside of screen.
