| - | |||
| - | * Prior to patching a production system, customers who have a test systems can apply the patch there to resolve any questions they have about the patch. | ||
| - | * Patches should be applied to production systems during a service window. | ||
| - | * A backup should be made during the service window and prior to applying the patch. | ||
| - | * An appliance snapshot is the preferred backup method. | ||
| - | * If an appliance snapshot cannot be made then a database dump should be made. | ||
| - | * A confidence test of the patched system should be conducted within the service window. | ||
| - | * If the confidence test exposes an issue and a rollback is required, the rollback actions depend on which kind of backup was made. | ||
| - | * If the backup was an appliance snapshot then it should be restored. | ||
| - | * If the backup was a database dump then it should be loaded and the patch should be rolled back using the patching tool’s rollback feature. | ||
