Hi All,
In the last week or so, we have had two host 'freezes' - both hosts running image SmartOS 20160330T234717Z, and running fine (up until this point) for well over a year. Both host servers required a power down and power up, and have been bought up using the following image - 20161013T025521Z - purely because all our other hosts are running this image and we haven't tested anything more recent than that in our environment. My questions are: 1. What is considered best practice in respect of which image build to put onto operational hosts? 2. If the response (as I expect) is for the most recent released build, what is considered a 'reasonable' time frame to wait after a build is released until it is considered operationally stable? 3. What 'testing' procedures (if any) are considered best practice before a 'stable' build is deployed in an operational environment? 4. How frequently does it make sense to boot hosts into a 'current' build or do you leave hosts running older builds until they either require a reboot (for whatever reason), or hosts are end-of-life'd? Thanks and regards, Angelo. ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
