      @JaredBusch do you have to reboot between updates?

      I am using System Admin to do updates, and it doing them one after another, without a reboot.

      Do you have to reboot? No.

      I reboot, because I want all things applied. including the system being booted to an updated kernel from the yum update that it does.

          We are running it in production, have been since release day. We actually had the final Release Candidate in production, we were that anxious.

            @scottalanmiller Scott, I don't see an upgrade option through my SysAdmin page. Did you upgrade via CLI?

              Upgrade from what? The RC just updated on its own.

                  They don't have a script yet to go from 13 to 14.

                    We didn't upgrade from 13, we did a clean slate build.

                        So was this for a new install, or for a previous customer? If previous, how did you migrate all of your settings over?

                          We did it on beta, so it was for internal. Wouldn't do that to outside customers.

                          PBX are really easy to migrate by hand, no need to bring cruft over. IF you have hundreds of users and complex IVRs, yeah that can be a pain. For a typical SMB, how long does a manual migration take, an hour? And if you are cleaning up craft as you go, pruning extensions, it can be a break even on time.

                            Bullshit. Again you have no perspective.

                            An hour to migrate an entire PBX? Voicemail passwords? Extensions and secrets?

                            Bull fucking shit.

                                yeah, I tend to agree with JB here. Unless you can script the creation extensions with matching passwords, etc, etc, etc... anything more than a tiny shop will be more work to rebuild and manually migrate than to upgrade.

                                        It appears that Firmware updates are now part of the system level updates done by yum as of version 14.

                                            Yes. It is certianly still beta. I had major issues the first time then minor issues the last time.

                                            The last time was my company PBX and I have some strangeness with my desk phone connecting. But another user's desk phone is not having the same problems.
