Normally if we are making upgrades to mission critical applications in 100s of servers in a large organization with a risk management team we should notify them if if we plan any upgrades which may cause an outage.
You should test in a test bed, make a plan, identify the risks and notify your risk management team.
Upgrading the core "mission critical" application on 200-300 web servers requires planning and team work.
What happens if you make a mistake and bring down the application(s)? Do you want your organization to be caught off guard when customers are calling in, angry their service is down?
You have described a major infrastructure upgrade. You certainly do not want to upgrade with YUM over a manually installed configuration until you have completed tested this idea in a test bed, insure you have backups of each application and database before hand, etc. In other words, you need a plan in coordination with your IT risk management team, customer service, etc.
This is how we work as IT professionals.

Hi Folks,
Just a quick question here, about Legacy Zones. Well more about how to determine if you are actually in one, on logging into a legacy zone - is there a quick way of checking that?

test::kwalitee
Test::Kwalitee(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::Kwalitee(3pm)
NAME
Test::Kwalitee - test the Kwalitee of a distribution before you release it
SYNOPSIS
# in a separate test file
use Test::More;
eval { require Test::Kwalitee; Test::Kwalitee->import() };
plan( skip_all => 'Test::Kwalitee not installed; skipping' ) if $@;
DESCRIPTION
Kwalitee is an automatically-measurable gauge of how good your software is. That's very different from quality, which a computer really
can't measure in a general sense. (If you can, you've solved a hard problem in computer science.)
In the world of the CPAN, the CPANTS project (CPAN Testing Service; also a funny acronym on its own) measures Kwalitee with several
metrics. If you plan to release a distribution to the CPAN -- or even within your own organization -- testing its Kwalitee before creating
a release can help you improve your quality as well.
"Test::Kwalitee" and a short test file will do this for you automatically.
USAGE
Create a test file as shown in the synopsis. Run it. It will run all of the potential Kwalitee tests on the current distribution, if
possible. If any fail, it will report those as regular diagnostics.
If you ship this test and a user does not have "Test::Kwalitee" installed, nothing bad will happen.
To run only a handful of tests, pass their names to the module's "import()" method:
eval
{
require Test::Kwalitee;
Test::Kwalitee->import( tests => [ qw( use_strict has_tests ) ] );
};
To disable a test, pass its name with a leading minus ("-") to "import()":
eval
{
require Test::Kwalitee;
Test::Kwalitee->import( tests =>
[ qw( -has_test_pod -has_test_pod_coverage ) ]
);
};
As of version 1.00, the tests include:
o extractable
Is the distribution extractable?
o has_readme
Does the distribution have a README file?
o have_manifest
Does the distribution have a MANIFEST?
o have_meta_yml
Does the distribution have a META.yml file?
o have_buildtool
Does the distribution have a build tool file?
o have_changelog
Does the distribution have a changelog?
o no_symlinks
Does the distribution have no symlinks?
o have_tests
Does the distribution have tests?
o proper_libs
Does the distribution have proper libs?
o no_pod_errors
Does the distribution have no POD errors?
o use_strict
Does the distribution files all use strict?
o have_test_pod
Does the distribution have a POD test file?
o have_test_pod_coverage
Does the distribution have a POD-coverage test file?
