- Check the update configuration. For servers where automatic updates are disabled or version-pinned, review /etc/cpupdate.conf now, so there are no delays when the patch lands.
- Brief your team. If your environment requires a maintenance window, notify the relevant people so they are ready to act.
- Manual update. If your team wishes to update impacted servers before an automatic update is triggered, run /scripts/upcp once the patch is made available.
- Note for CloudLinux 6 users: Before manually updating, set the update tier to the cl6110 branch by running sed -i "s/CPANEL=.*/CPANEL=cl6110/g" /etc/cpupdate.conf
