Yes, thanks. The one on the DVD is perhaps outdated.

Aria,
The deployment guide I refenced is the one I obtained from the SLES 12 SP2 DVD1
iso file. I did find the parameter in
https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-12/singlehtml/book_sle_deployment/book_sle_deployment.html#sec.appdendix.parm.general.
Thanks again!

Aria,
Thank you! That parameter for the PARMFILE is not in the deployment manual but
has changed the installation screens that are presented. I did find it there
to be added to the GRUB legacy configuration file.
The update=1 PARMFILE parameter is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Hi Harley,
My environment is not the same as yours and I don't use a complete parameter
file like you do but I noticed that you said you are upgrading from 11 to
12, but I don't see the 'upgrade=1' parameter among your parameter list.
The SUSE upgrade manual for z says you need that parameter
Hi,
I am looking to upgrade some of my z/VM based servers from SLES 11 SP4 to SLES
12 SP2 and am wondering if this is possible on System z.
