I started the process and it installed the first DVD but when I went to the second DVD, discovered the DVD was bad and it abended the install.

So I downloaded a fresh copy of both ISO's but this time I thought instead of messing with physical media, I'd just mount both ISO's as installation sources. So I copied both file with the original names (SLES-10-SP2-DVD-i586-GM-DVDx.iso) to a location on my server's hard drive and went into yast. Went into installation sources, chose directory, selected the iso checkbox and pointed it to the first ISO. According to the help in that screen, I don't need to add the second ISO individually.

So now that I've done that, when I go into software management, I can add/remove programs from that particular install source.

But I'm concerned that the original 10.1 to 10.2 upgrade only half completed. What can I do to restart it or force it to complete now that I've got both ISO's sitting on the disk? ]]> SLES: Updates jgosney http://forums.novell.com/novell-product-support-forums/suse-linux-enterprise-server-sles/sles-updates/393486-completing-interrupted-upgrade.html Will SP2 still get secuirty patches or do I need to update? http://forums.novell.com/novell-product-support-forums/suse-linux-enterprise-server-sles/sles-updates/393484-will-sp2-still-get-secuirty-patches-do-i-need-update.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:08:46 GMT I just want to know if security patches are still being release for SP2 or if I have to update to SP3 to get all the security patches.

error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
More details here: cURL - Details on Server SSL Certificates

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). The default
bundle is named curl-ca-bundle.crt; you can specify an alternate file
using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
the -k (or --insecure) option.

Does this exist? If so, why is it so hard to find? Where are the release notes & install instructions?

I have a couple of servers that I upgraded using yast online_update.
The servers have been rebooted after all the updates were applied.

I have sysstat enabled on startup.

I have deleted the contents of the /var/log/sa directory, in case there was a incompatibility with the version of sar between SP2 and SP3.

Anyone have any ideas/suggestions.

On the SMT server, all servers are registered with the same Unque ID and then, you are unable to have the correct list (only one server appears).

Solution:
- Go under /etc/zmd , on each client server
- rename or delete deviceid and secret
- restart zmd
- run again suse_register

Then on SMT, type : smt-list-registrations.
You will then see your server registered with a brand new computed Unique ID.

Question apart (customer request): Does SMT able to push back client server info into the customer center for updated list in the systems regsitered ?

In the scenaio of multiple SLES boxes scattered all over the country, and not connected in any way, if these have been initially configured and registered via YAST and linked to our Novell logon, what happens when the support/update licence expires for these? Is it simply a case of renewing the expired licence(s) on the Novell site within our account (where we can see the servers listed), or does a visit have to be made to each and every server every time they expre or are close to renewal? As you can see, we want to avoid having to visit the individual boxes, and control it all centrally.

Make sense? Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

(I am a newb at Linux support so please bear with me).

I thought that I should deinstall perl 5.8.0 (came with the system) and then install the new version. I researched a deinstall and found that rpm says that almost all of the installed packages (yast, samba, etc.) require perl. Thus, I didn't think that I should deinstall perl 5.8.0 so I just proceeded to install 5.10.0.

I am not able to use a pre-built package as my server is zLinux running on an IBM mainframe. I downloaded the source for perl 5.10.0 and followed the installation steps. The process installed the perl 5.10 executable in /usr/local/bin. The 5.8.8 version of perl is in /usr/bin/perl. When perl is invoked the server finds the 5.10 version as /usr/local/bin preceeds /usr/bin/perl in the PATH.

Is there anything else that I should do or should have done differently?

See some posts about this kind of problems but no relevant answer.

The goal was to have the SLES10SP3 in my list of available catalogs.

Trouble: running smt-ncc-sync (on a SLES10-SP2) or the daily mirroring (which is supposed to update available catalogs), i've got an error :

Flagged Catalogs which can be mirrored

I suspected first the proxy but no changes from months.
Investigating, i found the following error in my apache log:

So, it appears that the perl script fails without any further error message.

Did anybody experienced the same ?
Does anybody has a clue on how to solve this ?
