CentOS - Feb 2006 - Update csgfs without breaking things

Now that the csgfs repo has been updated to support the new kernel, I'm
looking at doing updates again.  I just want to do it without breaking
things (if possible).  I can handle doing a bit of trial and error, but I
figure that if you guys can point out any obvious pitfalls, that can save me
quite a bit of time.

I'm looking at doing the following install/update:

===========================================================================
Package                 Arch       Version          Repository        Size
===========================================================================Installing:
 GFS-kernel-smp          i686       2.6.9-45.0.2.centos4  csgfs
191 k
 cman-kernel-smp         i686       2.6.9-41.0.2.centos4  csgfs
121 k
 dlm-kernel-smp          i686       2.6.9-39.1.2.centos4  csgfs
119 k
 kernel                  i686       2.6.9-22.0.2.EL  update            9.7 M
 kernel-devel            i686       2.6.9-22.0.2.EL  update            3.6 M
 kernel-smp              i686       2.6.9-22.0.2.EL  update            9.4 M
Updating:
 GFS                     i386       6.1.3-0          csgfs             137 k
 cman                    i686       1.0.4-0          csgfs              27 k
 fence                   i686       1.32.10-0        csgfs              79 k
 magma                   i686       1.0.3-2          csgfs              33 k
 magma-plugins           i386       1.0.5-0          csgfs              16 k

Should I update them all at once like this, or are there any other issues I
should be aware of?

I don't know about GFS 6.1 (CentOS 4) but it is now possible to upgrade 
GFS 6.0 (CentOS 3) on a node in a cluster just using normal yum update & 
install.  You don't have to do every node at the same time either.

I certainly recommend that you do some testing on a test cluster, at 
least till you know your update procedure works.
