[opensuse] upgrade 10.3 ==> 11.0
![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/a9970bdbb04154a18b3513cd397f49eb.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
A quick q before i dash of to work.. Normally i allways do a clean install and put the data/config back. Reading the comment from Marcus, i tried to give the update a try. (bad experiences with updates in the days of 6.x) On a P3/512MB with 11.0-B1 KDE4 i did a zypper up, zypper up -t package and a zypper dup, It took some time ;-) but system is up-and-running 11.0 and it didn't even use a single byte of swap! OTOH, ive got a nice number of 10.3 systems, loaded daily with the latest patches. Zypper up runs well, but __dup__ is not on of the options of zypper in 10.3. Neither is there a update option in yast. As neither can not boot from DVD, i can't use the upgrade option from that medium. (all are XEN-images built from an install server) Did i miss something (forgot to install..)

I even didn't try this but Benjie Weber has posted his experience upgrading 10.3 into 11.0 in a running system [0]. Hope this help you.

just some feedback... Tried it on five DOM-u systems, works OK, at least for some simple LAMP-systems, will try the rest later on. BTW, if other people would like to try it aswell, before each migration, i made a complete copy (with dd) of the xen-image, just incase disaster strikes... note2, during the "zypper dup" one has to be patient, when it installs the hal-rpm, it takes rather long before it continues: DON't break it of, just wait a bit longer!! hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
