Hello Dick,

thanks for the update, but please give us some time to look into that. Lemon and Wei Gao are located in Beijing so I guess that they are out already.

Best regards,

Marita

As an FYI

These machines did Migrate from SP-4 GA to SP-5 Beta-2 and Beta-3 with no issues, it's like there is a flag still set to beta-3 that should now be Beta-4...

I'm on a customer site at 14;30 for a couple of hours but can be available later this afternoon for debug sessions.

Gee it's hot....

Grand Day Marita,

Many Thanks for the quick service.

My update / migration :

start the sles12 SP-4 GA machine:

zypper up    ## check for new updates, if you get issues here it means a SUSEConnect --rollback might be needed.  a SUSEConnect --rollback --query would be a grand command....

shutdown -h now  ## after shutdown take a VMware snapshot of SLES12 SP-4 GA updated

Start the machine:

SUSEConnect --list-status    ###  Are look tidy ?

SUSEConnect --list-ext  ### Looking Okay ?

zypper migration --query  ### looking good ??

zypper migration -q   ### drop the -q if required

## Give a "1" when required

## Have a coffee

## after run

cat /etc/os-release
cat /etc/issue

grip betaversion /etc/products.d/*

shutdown -r now

cat /etc/os-release ; cat /etc/issue

I expect there are spelling issues but that has been working for a few years.... I agree the --rollback could be an issue but if a zypper up runs Okay then I don't run --rollback. I have seen more isse when a --rollback is run when it's not needed than the other way around. a --rollback --query would be very helpful ;o)

I ran another while putting these words and it's still Beta-3

Very open to an thoughts and can you try this etc etc...

Hello Dick,

we from QA have run quite some migration tests successfully. Let me add Wei Gao and Lemon, maybe they can help you.

Best regards,

Grand Sunny Morning,

To the grand chaps who are Migrators ...

I have tried to migrate a number of machines from SLES12 SP-4 to SP-5.. This worked grand for Beta-2 and Beta-3 but for Beta-4 I run the migrate and end up with another Beta-3.

Vincent has told me twice that Beta-4 was available from the 22nd but not that I see.

Have anyone out there run a migrate and ended up with a Beta-4 ? This is open to any SUSE QE chaps too ;o)
