* [linux-lvm] Online Update by using alternate root partition (as in Solaris) [not found] <AANLkTilc126w-ScRl_Vn_WMf4jYrE3jPnd1hIYvvbOf0@mail.gmail.com> @ 2010-07-10 1:40 ` Renil Thomas 2010-07-10 1:48 ` Renil Thomas 0 siblings, 1 reply; 2+ messages in thread From: Renil Thomas @ 2010-07-10 1:40 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linux-lvm [-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 533 bytes --] Hi All, This is about the online update on a linux machine. For instance, on a running machine (RHEL 5.5), software update has to be carried out without affecting the active root partition(LVM2 is used here), i.e., on an alternate root partition or environment , can snapshots help? Also, after updating in order to check the status of my update, can I boot from the alternate partition (if possible above) and then if it works fine, can I sync the data into the older partition with these changes? Thanks & Regards, Renil Thomas [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 645 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
