SLES 15 Update Packages

This upgrade is applicable for both SLES Service Packs and SUSE patch packages.
Note:

  • For information on the latest Service Pack updates, refer to the respective release notes.

  • The execution in a server can be monitored with the tail -f /var/log/messages command.

Prerequisites

All the mount points of the remote file system are removed. For example, the /srv/ftp must be removed before starting the update.

Enough disk space is available on the root partition before copying the iso image. It is recommended to keep at least 1.3 times the size of the Service Pack or patch package.

The /local/home/mxone_admin/install_sw/. directory is used to save the iso or patch package.

Preparing for Installation of SLES 15 SPx

As user mxone_admin, copy the SLES 15 SPx iso image (for service packs) or tar file (for patch package) and sha256 sum file to the file system at server 1.
Note:

If checksum file is missing, the update cannot be done.

Updating SLES Software

To update SLES software:
  1. Login to the server 1 as mxone_admin.
  2. Key the command sudo /opt/mxone_install/bin/mxone_maintenance to start MX-ONE Maintenance Utility.
  3. Select option linux_software > remove to remove existing SLES software repositories (zypper repositories).
  4. Select option linux_software > add to add a repository to all servers in the system.
  5. Select option linux_software > update to update the system with Service Pack or Patch package.
  6. After successful update, reboot all servers. This can be done by starting the MX-ONE Maintenance Utility once again and select option linux_software > reboot-server.
