To upgrade 12SP4 LPAR to 15SP1 use:

  1. Connect two virtual optical drivers (one for installer and one for packages). See Add Virtual Optical Media to LPAR with desired OS ISO image
  2. Start "Upgrade" option after booting through CD using "System management services". See Activating the LPAR (Starting)
    • Press up/down arrow to get grub
  3. Ideally we should have taken a backup of system (root) partition before upgrade via Backup of LPAR by booting into Suse installer DVD rescue mode
  4. Leave Language and Keyboard to default values and choose Next
  5. Optioncally Give network IP etc. if desired. Choose next
  6. Select Suse12SP4 partition to upddate and choose Next
  7. Agree to license and choose next
  8. On the repository page choose next
  9. If system is not registered with Suse we need Full installer DVD (not two separate installer / packages).
    • Ideally register system and proceed.
  10. Select the migration target
  11. Agree to use updated repositories as part of update process
  12. Do not select any additional products for installation during upgrade.
    We can install required packages later after upgrade
