Patching servers

2006-03-09 Thread Levy, Alan
I have a number of linux servers on our IFL (sles8 and 9). I have been told by our security group that I have to patch these servers at least once every 2 weeks. Previously I was patching them every 2 months. My question is: How are you patching your servers (yast online update, auto

Like Adam said: edit to the new dasd addresses /boot/parmfile /etc/zipl.conf Run zipl Also - will you have the old and new DASD available in your LPAR for any amount of time during the cutover? It will make things easier to have the old DASD still visible to use as a rescue system in case

Our Windows folks do patching quarterly, except for security patches. We have a committee that ranks the vulnerabilities' risk to the company. Some of them get classed Immediate which means they get installed within 24 hours. So on Black Tuesday our Windows folks spend the night patching DEV

Last I saw it was on the order of 2 Gig of storage and 2 Gig of swap to run the install. It apparently runs multiple JVMs to do whatever it is it's doing in there. Once it's installed the storage can be turned down to whatever the stated minimum supported config is. -- Jay Brenneman

The installation notes should tell you, but I've run it on 384M and 512M swap or some such. The big problem you'll have is when oracle uses gcc to link the binaries. -Original Message- From: Bernard Wu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 10:47 AM To:
