4.2 Upgrading the Server

  1. Shut down the server you want to upgrade.

  2. Insert Open Enterprise Server SP2 CD 1 into the CD-ROM drive of the server you want to upgrade to OES Linux and boot the machine.

  3. Use the following instructions applicable to the method of installation you are using:

    When you are done with one of the above options, continue with Step 4.

  4. On the License Agreement screen, click I Agree.

  5. Select a language, then click Accept.

  6. Select Update an Existing System, then click OK.

  7. Click Update Options.

  8. Select Update with Installation of New Software and Features Based on Selection.

    The initial screen reads “Upgrade to SUSE CORE 9”. Ignore this. You are actually upgrading to Open Enterprise Server.

  9. Select Novell Open Enterprise Server, then click Accept.

    IMPORTANT:Make sure you select Open Enterprise Server. If you manually select another option, the upgrade process does not copy the OES components to the server.

  10. Click Yes, then click Accept.

  11. Click Yes, then click Update.

  12. (Conditional) For a network install, remove Open Enterprise Server SP2 CD 1 from the CD drive. For a CD install, leave the CD in the CD drive until prompted to change it.

  13. Follow the prompts to complete the file copy portion of the upgrade.

    For a network installation, the upgrade should proceed without much interaction.

    For a CD installation, change CDs when prompted.

    The upgrade copies the OES Linux components and RPMs to the server and then reboots the server.

  14. When the server comes back up, click No, Skip This Test, then click Next.

  15. Click Next, then click Finish.

    The server reboots again and you can log in.

    At this point the OES components and RPMs have been copied to the server. You still need to configure the components that you want to run on the server.

  16. Configure the OES components.

    1. Log in to the server as Root.

    2. Launch YaST.

    3. Select a component from one of the following YaST categories and follow the prompts to complete the configuration. For specific information on configuring OES components, see OES Configuration.
