Greetings,
We have about 40 machines running 4.4-stable. Physically these are
distributed in 2 locations. Now we are planning on migrating to
4.6-release.
This move is in part motivated by the fact that updated security patches
are not available for 4.4 any more
The question is, what is the easiest way to upgrade or reinstall a large
number of machines?
Option 1) We have boot servers set up in both locations, these use PXE.
Use them? Is there a way of automating this process?
Option 2) Since our servers are identical, is there a binary disk copy we
could do somehow to replicate a reference installation ?
Or any other better suggestions?
Thank you for your time,
-ansh
