What are some of the best practices around RPM upgrade from JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.2 to 5.1
Issue
- We need assistance on best practice for upgrading JBoss EAP 4.2 to EAP 5.1 using RHN
- How do we subscribe our server to the 5.1 channel?
- Will we need to back up the current directories due to differing directory structures, uninstall the RPMs and then install the EAP 5.1 RPM?
- Where's the new Jboss install location?
- What packages are included?
- Can the new JBoss EAP 5 system coexist on the same system temporarily with the old JBoss EAP 4.2, or will certain packages be overwritten by the new RPM install?
Environment
- JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 5.1
- JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 4.2
