CentOS yum update?

Post by armitage318 »

Hi,
I use Release 8.8.7_GA_1964.RHEL7_64_20180223145016 on CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core)

Can I safely run yum update regularly?
Eg. right now I have lots of upgrades pending:

Code: Select all

# yum check-update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

That's a decision only you can make in your environment and you could always backup your ZCS server before you update the system.

Read these:
- viewtopic.php?t=64861
- https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Best_Pract ... ge_Updates

I would also suggest to treat these updates as any other update in terms of make sure you have a secure rollback strategy if you possible.

Yes, you can/should (IMHO) run OS updates regularly.

You should also (again, IMHO) update Zimbra itself as 8.8.7 is past end of life. 8.8.10 should be out shortly.

Hope that helps,
Mark
