What is the best practice for applying updates to a Production environment?

Siebel community,

As we prepare for our Siebel upgrade to 2019, I'd like to clarify best practices regarding applying monthly updates.

On Unix-based OSes, the latest updates not only automatically stop Apache and Siebel services, but can also be configured (via the AUTOSTART_SERVICES parameter) to start back up once the update is installed.  Ostensibly, this approach greatly minimizes downtime and simplifies the update process, but it does raise some questions.

As a simple example, let's say we are going from 19.2 to 19.3, and our running target environment has:

Server 1: Gateway 1 , AI Server 1

Server 2: Gateway 2, AI Server 1, App Server 1

Server 3: Gateway 3, App Server 2

Howdy, Stranger!
