Hello. Zypper can add iso files as repo. Can I simply go for a zypper dup (zypper in zypper maybe first?) via the downloaded .iso image file of 12.1(x86) on my running old 11.2 system? Or is it better to boot via 12.1 media and taking the system offline? Or is zypper able to handle all those changes just fine by now via dup? Thanks.
Zypper dup procedure is only supported for one version jump.
It's only *tested* for one version jump is more correct.
As to whether the method you propose via iso image works, I do not know.
The pre-11.4 zyppers had a bit of a problem with package ordering, so you might run into trouble with a direct 'zypper dup'. It *should* work if you lock the "liblzma0" package (zypper al liblzma0) before doing the 'zypper dup'. I'd recommend to boot the iso so that the 12.1 software stack is used, just to be on the safe side. But, as I said above, a 11.2->12.1 update is untested, so there may be some other issues you might run into.
