Patching and Reboots

Hello,

>From past experience, installing a recommended patch cluster can take up
to 2 hours. Included with each cluster is almost always a patch which
requires a reboot (such as a kernel patch). If we were to install the
cluster during business hours but schedule a reboot/outage for after
hours how would this affect the stability and function of the server? I
will have to present plans for patching to a change management board -
which should be a familiar practice to many on this list - and they will
need to know the risks associated with such a plan.
