Hello again,
a few days ago i posted a mail to this list. Topic was "Automated Upgrade from
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP3 to 11 SP1". After cleaning up my PARMFILE
the ipl of the installer system was fine. But now i am facing the next problem
and i found no matching hint in the mailinglist nor the Novell docs.
We are using LVM layouts for our Linux images. For example like this:
/dev/mapper/rootvg1-rootlv /
/dev/mapper/rootvg1-homelv /home
/dev/mapper/rootvg1-tmplv /tmp
/dev/mapper/rootvg1-varlv /var
/dev/dasda1 /boot
What is the correct way to tell the automated upgrade how to mount the
pratitions/volumes of the existing system to perform the update? The installer
system finds the DASD, but receives "Error while configuring partitions".
Here is an snippet from my upgrade.xml
