[sle-beta] SLE-Beta SLES12-SP3 Beta Migration - S390x

Hi,

This should now work with Beta 3. 

But please remember that updating/upgrading/migrating from Beta version to Beta
version is not supported!
This should work but we highly recommend to do a fresh install of your server. 

_However_ upgrading/migrating from SLE 12 SP2 to SLE 12 SP3 BetaX is “supported”
in a sense that in this specific scenario we can consider the SLE 12 SP3 BetaX 
as SLE 12 SP3. Thus any findings or bugs could be considered as a bug that could
occur with the final version of SLE 12 SP3. 

Hope you understand,

Regards,
