Looks like Z9 processor or newer
This is really BAD NEWS. It basically says that if you want to stay
current, you better be able to afford to buy a new processor.

And although David has outlined the reasons that vendors may drop
support for backlevel hardware (or software), there are *other*
vendors from whom you can buy support for those things, if it's
important that you have commercial support.

I don't think the problem here is support. I think the release notes
say that SLES 11 does not even run on non z9/z10 machines.
Fair enough. I was reading it as I want to stay current, but I can't
afford new hardware.

I would add one step to David's excellent procedure below. Step 2.1, make
sure the guest account is logged off. Otherwise, when you renumber the
virtual addresses in the following steps, these changes will not take
place for the currently logged on guest.

On SuSE there is the file /etc/SuSE-release
that gives the information.

Hi,
I am upgrading a SLES10-SP1 system to SP2 using the DVD image installed as
an installation source. When I install the initial patches from the
'patches' directory, I receive a info box telling me
Product-sles10-sp1-0-6.noarch cannot be installed due to missing dependencies
There are no
If your guest is connected to the network using a vswitch, then
did you define the vswitch as type IP or ETHERNET. I think you
would need it to be ETHERNET in order to see those types of
packets. Others can correct me if I am wrong.

Hi,
I have a general Linux question that could apply to any platform.
From a performance standpoint, would linux perform better if you
have two filesystems each with N million files or one file system
with N*2 million files on it. This would be purely the way the
file systms are maintained by

Hi,
It seems that the three dictionary files for cracklib (pw_dict.hwm,
pw_dic.pwd and pw_dict.pwi) are empty on SLES 10-SP1 system but on a
SLES 9 system they were populated when the system was installed.
This causes YAST to fail adding users or changing passwords for
users without any error

One was a message that showed in the logs about jmx.jar and licensing

Sorry Mark if I was unclear. I mean to say upgrading from SLES10 to
SLES10-SP1. A new install of SLES10-SP1 can be done as you said but
an upgrade from base release to SP1 can't be done via FTP (like it
could in SLES9).
That's not
Mark, thanks for clarifying the procedure for SLES10 SP1 update
without using a network installation server. I followed your
steps and they work just fine. The only thing I would add is
a step between 6 and 7 to make sure that zmd is running and is
done starting otherwise this seems to cause
