[EHPweb] RHEL4 and Production Systems

[Christopher J Bidwell]

We've been running rhel4 on all of our production web servers for quite 
some time (since 2007).  They've since gone EOL and we need to upgrade 
them as they are no longer able to receive updates.  I spoke with Lisa 
briefly about this and what the timeline looked like for the 
implementation of their replacement web stack.  I think it's necessary 
that we upgrade our systems to the latest version of Red Hat.  I've got 
extra space on a vhost server in the DFC DMZ that I've already installed 
RHEL6.3 on and called it ehp5 and ehp5-earthquake (public frontend).  I 
would like to do something similar in Menlo Park.  It would give us the 
ability to bring one system down at a time and begin the upgrade process. 

What do you all think?
