# Recommended update for suse-migration-services

Announcement ID: SUSE-RU-2026:24465-1  
Release Date: 2026-10-27T12:30:05Z  
Rating: moderate

Affected Products:

  * SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP applications 16.0

  
  
An update that can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for suse-migration-services fixes the following issues:

Changes in suse-migration-services:

  * Bump version: 2.1.38 → 2.1.39
  * fix: only install shim on supported architectures
  * Fix sles version check for SLE16

The current check does not match for SLE16 as it requires is_opensuse to be true
which is not the case for SLE16+

  * Switch multipath off if the root device is not multipath

The dracut multipath module in the migration image can claim single path
devices, which makes the migration target partition unavailable and drops the
boot into the emergency shell.

Both cmdline builders now check whether the root device stack contains a
multipath map and add multipath=off if it does not. The check runs on the device
stack, not on the device node, so root on LVM above a multipath map is detected
as multipath.

The option is appended after the host cmdline pass through to take precedence
over a multipath option of the host.
