Verifying files before and after a server upgrade

It is good practice to use p4 verify as follows before and after server upgrades:

  1. Before the upgrade, run:

    $ p4 verify -q //...

    to verify the integrity of your server.

  2. Take a checkpoint and copy the checkpoint and your versioned files to a safe place.
  3. Perform the server upgrade.
  4. After the upgrade, run:

    $ p4 verify -q //...

    to verify the integrity of your new system.
