Live upgrade question
I want to basically update an ABE that someone created a few months back.
I'm sure stuff has changed since it was made, and I was going to delete it and create a new one.
But from what I'm looking at, the lumake appears like it would be a faster approach.
I want to use live upgrade to apply a recommended patch cluster, I would assume that this would also be the best way to go instead of deleting the original BE and creating a new one prior to patching.
Anyone have any experiences using the lumake command?
