Some further details might be of interest:
We've just completed applying, as a "hot-fix," several of the changes
that will be coming in the upgrade in January. But not all of them; for
example, a very relevant change coming in January is upgrade of the
platform from Linux 2.4 to 2.6, and that can't be done in a 20-minute
down. We do have one or two sites even larger than Tigris and running on
PMJI,
20 minutes to go from 2.4 to 2.6. No kidding it can't be done. I have
a server here still on 2.4 and am very reluctant in migrating to 2.6
due to the possible downtime to be a day or two minimum (and that is
if nothing drastic happens). I'm not even sure if I can do that. The
unimaginable hairiness of doing a 2.4 to 2.6 gives me the hibby-jibbies.
I think it's easier (IMO) to set up a whole new 2.6 server and migrate
the files there. YMMV, of course. :)
Just my $0.02.
