Rhel upgrade - pre maintenance checklist
I going to be updating a few of our rhel5.5 servers this weekend to rhel5.10. I'll be making a checklist for pre & post maintenance comparisions.
so far I'll be checking,
services running
filesystems
netstat
ifconfig
uname
oracleasm
multipath
just basic stuff
if it were you what would you include on the checklist?
thanks in advance
