Hi! You might wanna check VMware (www.vmware.com) for that. You can make a full normal install on physical disks in virtual machine mode, then may make slight changes in e.g. network config etc (or even use the profiles provided by SuSE to be able to switch between configurations easier) and then boot the "virtual" system on real hardware... Guess there are some articles on that... good luck Eduard --- Andreas Bittner <bittner@rz.fh-heilbronn.de> wrote:
i was looking for some information on the possibility of how to remotly upgrade a suse linux system from some older release to a newer one (having all the dvd/cd media, but no physical access to the target boxes, only ssh/shell).
the only access i have would be ssh/scp and tunneling, and maybe enough disk space and inet connection, for maybe transfering files/media-images to the target boxes, or remotely mount.
any advice on how to handle this the best way? i didnt find too much info on this topic.
how are you guys maintaining your remote servers, or is everybody using the enterprise software versions of suse, that probably come with some sort of remote upgrade means?
thanks, andy
