centos 5.2 upgrade

[Artturi]

Hello,

We use Zimbra 0E on centos 5.2.

I'd like to upgrade to centos 5.3 by doing a "yum upgrade" but wonder if this is risky or not. I suppose I'll get a new kernel so I expect a reboot. Besides, is there anything else to expect ?

Regards,

Artturi

Upgraded fine here without any issues

[root@office conf]# rpm -qa | grep -i centos-release
centos-release-5-4.el5.centos.1

Just plan to shutdown ZCS and take a backup prior to upgrading CentOS.

What you can expect is to get CentOS 5.4 as that's the current version.

I usually combine a Zimbra upgrade with a "yum update" of the server. I shutdown zimbra before the yum update and reboot after all packages have been updated.
Then I start the Zimbra update.

I never experienced any problems after Centos updates.
