<p class=MsoNormal>Cary sent me the following information on the upgrade
procedure for the new app servers. Based on this information it will have
minimal impact doing the App server upgrade. I propose we establish a
time to perform the upgrade on the test app server as soon as possible then
schedule an 7am (Tues.-Fri.) cutover on the production app servers. I am
fine with test and prod being on different levels for this upgrade since we are
not modifying the application per se just the underlying OS. Please
provide your input on this proposed upgrade and possible dates for both test
and prod. <o:p></o:p></p>
