We're running 3 OpenAFS 1.2.5 database servers on Solaris 8.  In light of
the xdr_array() stuff, we're planning an upgrade to 1.2.6.

I'm trying to determine if I can do this as a rolling upgrade or if I have
to take our cell down to accomplish it.  Basically, for an upgrade from
1.2.5 to 1.2.6, do I still have to abide by the "every db server must run
the identical version" rule?

If not, I can upgrade one at a time.  If so, I have to take all 3 db
servers down.

On a related note, I'll be tackling our fileserver machines next.  From
what I've read, fileserver is not vulnerable but volserver is.  Do clients
interact directly with volserver?

Thanks,

Dave
