IMPORTANT:
Source servers must have all patches applied from the appropriate SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) and OES patch update repositories prior to an upgrade.
Post January 2019, if OES is upgraded to OES 2015 SP1, the message to import the keys might be displayed during the registration of the server to the customer center. For more information, see Section C.0, Importing New Build Keys to the Keyring.
Other OES releases can be upgraded by installing the interim support packs in order. For example, to upgrade from OES 2 SP2 to OES 2015 SP1, upgrade to OES 2 SP3 first and then upgrade from OES 2 SP3 to OES 2015 SP1.
Cross-architecture upgrades (32-bit to 64-bit and 64-bit to 32-bit) are not supported.
