SAP system OS Upgarde RHEL 5.3 to RHEL 5.8

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are planning to upgrade our SAP server OS from RHEL 5.3 to 5.8.

Can this be done by a simple yum update on the OS level ?

Would there be any impact on the application or database ?

Any other factors that I should take into consideration before i do this update ?

FYI - the SAP servers have ECC 6.0 and PI 7.1 with Oracle 10.2.0.4 as the database. We have a distributed installation with apps and database on different servers.

Thanks

Cheryl

Hello,

Yes just an os upgrade.

Please check

Note 1048303 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x: Installation and

As RHEL5 is listed as supported in the PAM this means that any update
release of RHEL5, for example RHEL 5 Update 8 (RHEL 5.8), can be used as
well.
