Abstract
A system and method updates multiple servers automatically without taking all of the multiple servers off-line at the same time. The system and method selects a group of servers, takes the group off-line, updates the group taken off-line, and then brings on-line those members of the group that were on-line prior to the update and for which the update was installed successfully.
