The upgrade went smoothly.

No upgrade roller coaster rides for you! The upgrade was a success and everything worked perfectly (or almost perfectly) afterward.

Danger, Will Robinson!

Beware! Plesk upgrade success very much depends upon your chosen OS. It is important to know what OS's are troublesome and which are trouble free. Plesk 9.2.1 for DEB-based for Linux/Unix Systems Release Notes http://download1.paral...sed-os.html "Parallels Plesk Panel 9.2.1 for... [show more]

Saw a performance decrease after the upgrade.

Not what you want after an "upgrade"! Sadly, it can happen.

Maybe a subtle, maybe drastic. The upgrade really put some boost juice into your VPS!

The upgrade caused data loss.

You lost data - had you backed up your container?? (Hint: In Plesk, click 'Help' then click the 'Search' tab and type 'backup' in the search box. Click on the result Backing Up and Restoring Container)

Had to contact Parallels Support.

You had to contact product support to resolve any problems caused by the upgrade.

Had some problems that were difficult to resolve.

Experienced some "plesky" brain teasers but you eventually figured it out.

Head of IT informed me that the latest PCI security scan failed (I won't even go into how much I hate PCI compliance). One Apache fix involves just upgrading from my current Plesk 8.3 to Plesk 8.6. My question to all of you would be should I just go with 8.6 or should I try to upgrade all the way to 9.2.2? In the past whenever I monkey with Plesk upgrades I can expect a lot of downtime, bosses cursing at me, no support from SWSoft etc. etc. *&^%ing hate Plesk, but it's a means to an end and allows me to show my bosses "visual things". ;-)

I also have to update MySQL, which I know Plesk monkeys with and OpenSSL. Ugh. Looking like it's going to be a long week next week as I'm much more a coder than a sysadmin. ;-\

Any tips/thoughts appreciated!!

Thanks,
SkiWhitefish

@skiwhitefish make multiple backups, have your head of IT put his head in the block. If he doesn't pay for a CD backup from modwest as an insurance policy then let the guillotine falls on him and not you.

Don't leap to 9.2.2 go to 8.6 first. Reason, database updates are better done incrementally.

Everyone else, contradictions welcome XD

Your excuse is: broadcast packets on wrong frequency
