Re: SLES 12 SP2 - Migration
Many Thanks Mark. It does seem the issues are with us as there have been no other sites reporting issues with Update / Migration. Getting access to the SP2 environment after the IPL has it's issues but not imposable. __R From: Linux on 390 Port [LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU] on behalf of Mark Post [mp...@suse.com] Sent: 06 December 2016 19:09 To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: SLES 12 SP2 - Migration >>> On 12/5/2016 at 01:44 AM, "Waite, Dick (External)" >>> wrote: > What information should we try and gather ?

Re: SLES 12 SP2 - Migration
Grand Monday Morning, We have run a few SLES12 SP2 new installs without issues. Migrating / Updating SP1 machines are giving us issues, I'd like to run it past your eyes to see if you see where our issue lies. We have tried Update / migration using a new SP2 iso image and using zypper migration and both give the same result. The migration runs grand, no conflict issues etc. But on the IPl of the new system we get messages that the IPL disk is not found... Letting the time-out expire and a look around one finds that "/dev" is missing, so one can understand why the messages. This is not now and again, it's on all migrations tried. These are machines that are running/working SLES12 SP1 machines. Some have been updated from SLES12 SP0 to SP1 and now we trying to update / migrate to SP2. As I said, a new install is not an issue. Thoughts on why "/dev" is not there very welcome. The physical channels have not changed from SLES12 SP0. What information should we try and gather ? Wishing you all a grand week. __R Software AG – Sitz/Registered office: Uhlandstraße 12, 64297 Darmstadt, Germany – Registergericht/Commercial register: Darmstadt HRB 1562 - Vorstand/Management Board: Karl-Heinz Streibich (Vorsitzender/Chairman), Eric Duffaut, Dr. Wolfram Jost, Arnd Zinnhardt; - Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender/Chairman of the Supervisory Board: Dr. Andreas Bereczky - http://www.softwareag.com
