My company has 4 redhat servers, plus a test machine, all running versions
of redhat from about 5.0 to 6.0. I wish to get them all up to 6.1. It
appears as though the only way to do this is to run the install program,
and tell it that I wish to upgrade.
All of these machines are in a rack, so it would be physically
inconvienient to have to put a boot floppy/cd in each one, one at a time.
It would also be inconvienient to have to reboot each of these machines.
There seems to have been some improvements in redhat package management
recently, so perhaps I am missing something. Under debian, I would just
type "apt-get dist-upgrade", all new versions & their dependancies would
be downloaded, installed, and all server processes restarted.
Is there a way that I can telnet into each of these boxes, and run the
install program without rebooting ? Maybe off of a loopback mounted iso
of the install CD ?
Would "rpm -Fvh *.rpm" be sufficient ?
For me, it would be ideal for all Linux distributions to standardize on
apt.
