SUSE Enterprise Linux SP2

girishb — Sun, 06 Aug 2006 23:34:53 GMT

Hi,

I have SUSE Enterprise Linux 9.0 installed on HP DL380 Server.

I need to install SUSE Enterprise Linux 9.0 SP2 on the above server.

I would like to know how should I go about it.

Shall I update the server using Yast online update or do I need to install SUSE EL SP2 OS completely...

Please help.

Thanks in advance for the response.

Shalom Giri,

I believe I read there is an update option. You may have issues with applications you installed onto the system in this mode.

I am reasonably sure the Yast tool will let you do the upgrade. My Suse mates in ITRC say great things about yast, its a lot like yum, which can do such things.

Girishb,

Remember to also update your firmware on the server to the latest version, just to avoid any discrepancies.

Please if have different hardware, please choose accordingtly.

Hi Giri,

If you have physical media of SP2, you can also simply reboot on CD-ROM and choose upgrade option. However, be warned about one annoying issue : some IDE cdroms are very very slow on Linux.

Good lcuk.

Hi Giri,

If is fresh install, I suggest install SUSE EL SP2 OS completely. If is existing sever with Suse Linux installed, Yast Online is the tool you should use.
