Hello all -
New user here, couple quick questions.
Background:
I am trying to support a customer under a bit of duress. I know Linux,
but have not worked with ClamAV directly myself, so am a bit hesitant
because this is an env. that processes 250k emails a day.
I've read over the FAQ, and things seem fairly clear, but I wanted to
ask a couple quick questions to bolster my confidence before I proceed.
Upgrade will be done via remote access.
System:
RHEL 3 Update 8, AS, on 32-bit Intel 2-way server
Running QMail (netqmail 1.05) (I have seen a post in the archives about
running a QMail script to update the scan headers after install/upgrade)
Current ClamAV is 0.88.4/2061 (installed Oct. last year)
Customer uses a cluster filesystem (IBM GPFS) so config data is in
non-standard locations based on shares of this FS.
Questions:
I see the current release is 0.88.7 - is it advisable to upgrade the
base package as opposed to just the scan DB? I took a look at the
changelog in the latest stable and it looks like there were some
required fixes, so I'm guessing that's a yes.
The FAQ says Uninstall Old; Install New - is there any config data I
should look for in the old build? (I have the log) Do I need to worry
about losing any config data by uninstalling?
If it's not obvious, I'm a little concerned about an potential
disruption of service. so, if there's any other install tidbits
anyone wants to pass on it's appreciated...
TIA
Don
