I did have a little hiccup with the start of the first Feature Pack upgrade. One of the EXE's didn't shutdown gracefully which fucked up the updating of the corresponding DLL's. Fortunately I had only done Cone #1 and there was still enough intellect to get that hiccup straightened out before restarting the FP upgrades and sparking up Cone #2.... That would be hell to be high and trying to chase down an issue. It would be like the never ending upgrade, no thanks!! ...
Once the server was back online, I gave the developers/UAT folks the OK do their application specific testing then went out and sparked up Cone #3. At 1:45 AM, all I could hear were the sounds of Canada geese and trumpeter swans getting in each other's grill blended with the occasional softened blare of the CN/CP freight trains off in the distance.
About 45 minutes later the UAT folks gave me the thumbs up and the upgrade was declared completed successfully at 2:30 AM.
