At work, we have our own success story with it. We migrated our busiest webservers via re-install, to 5.4-pre (From 4.x) with much success. In all, the operation took about an hour to get the machines back up and handling requests. During this time, traffic was redirected to a couple of spare 5.4-pre servers that we had racked for the occasion. The data volumes are still UFS1 at this point, but that migration will have to be for another time... It all went so well that I was asked several hours after everything was back online if the process had begun! :-) Andy | Andre Guibert de Bruet | Enterprise Software Consultant > | Silicon Landmark, LLC. | http://siliconlandmark.com/ >Received on Thu Mar 31 2005 - 22:06:10 UTC
