[sle-beta] : Migrating from SLE 12 to SLE 15 SP1 Beta X

[Waite, Dick (External)]

Totally agree Simon, but as I had a little time I thought I would read the good words of the guide and well thought maybe it was an early Christmas gift.... Maybe for Beta2 it will get amended.. As I "UPDATED" quite a number of machines during the SLES15 Beta I am familiar with the method., but sometimes one has to try what is written even if it does sounds out of this world, and it is Christmas.

SLES15 SP1 is the same as with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 -
"Upgrading from SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 is only supported via an
offline upgrade."

See
https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-15/book_sle_upgrade/data/sec_upgrade-paths_supported.html
then
https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-15/book_sle_upgrade/data/cha_upgrade-offline.html

zypper migration is used for _online_ upgrades from one service pack to
another within the same release.

HTH,
Simon
