A question for some of you larger zLinux shops. I'm running SUSE 7, 8, 9 and 9 64 bit. (OK SLES7 is going to be out of the picture soon).
I'm restarting the project of keeping my Linux images, up to date, or at least as much as I care about. YOU now seems to work fine going out to the Novell maintenance site. So, other than reducing the load on Novell, why/when should I consider having my own mirrored maintenance site? It seems like once a new image is synced up, any new maintenance would be relatively small, and would have minimum impact on you.novell.com. Also, I'm not really sure I want to keep things "very well maintained". On one side, if a production image is working, maintenance may cause it not to work. On the other hand, maintenance may prevent future failures. I don't know. We are still discussing monthly, quarterly, annual update options, and other options. And to mirror all the types of images does get into a bit of disk space. So, what are some reasons for having your own maintenance site. Our GBE is basically idle evenings/nights/weekends.
