Upgrade from SLES10 to SLES11

[former_member199632]

Hello,

Currently in our application servers it uses, SLES 10.with SP3 (in x86_64)

DB is Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4.0)

We have an idea of moving to SLES 11.

I want to know, how to perform this kind of upgrade.

Is there any proper document to get an idea.

What are the precautions , that needs to consider from SAP point of view.

We are having 2 seperate clusters also (for DB and CI). Those also deployed with SuSE linux 10 .

If we upgrading those 2 , how can we perform it.

Will it affect to DB / CI clusters.

Thanks n Regards,

Hello,

You could just upgrade the os as the sap kerenl will work on upgraded os

Also check the system copy guides if you want to do a homogenous system copy
