Upgrade from RHEL 3 ES to RHEL 3 AS

[Brendan Murphy_5]

Hi
A customer has a system installed as RHEL 3 ES. They want to to move to AS. Anyone know how I go about moving from ES to AS. Since these kits are the same except for CPU & Memory limitations, then I'm hoping it's something simple like a kernel rpm update.

Regards,

Brendan

Brendan,

ES to AS is a simple boot from CD, upgrade, accept the defaults, and wait 20 mins. Basically the only difference is the kernel. What you may find is that you need to manually install the "huge memory kernel" and sources fro mthe CD/DVD after you complete the install, and possibly tune and rebuild to get the best settings.
