Well, I'm not Peter, but some of us can't just throw up a sles11 for use without it having the other layered prereqs (security, authentication, blah blah) on top of it. And those involve other groups that also have too much on their plates.
I did send him the procedure I used to online update from SP2 to SP3 probably 120+ servers. I didn't send to the whole list becaues I'd have to weed out the stuff that is specific to me. If anyone would like it as is, let me know. Marcy "This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

Does Novell have > SLES10-SP2 to SLES10-SP3 upgrade procedures that I can follow? Yes, but they all involve "down server" upgrades unless you have a correctly configured update server available. You could use the official nu.novell.com web site, but that means everything you update would have to go out over the Internet. Alternatively, you could use SMT 1.0, but that isn't available for System z, so you'd have to use an Intel/AMD box for that. I suspect installing SLES11 and SMT11 on a new z/VM guest would be a lot faster, but I don't know why you say you're not in a position to do that.
