SLES may probably have "enterprise support", but that's only within one release. A co-worker has to upgrade a couple of hundred machines with SLES running SAP. A very time consuming error-prone manual job, no smooth upgrade procedure.
While I can appreciate that It's a hard job to migrate servers running any SAP on *any* platform; _specifically_ what would make your job easier on suse? What automated tasks such as 'autoyast' system configuration don't meet your requirements?
Won't talk about sap@sles migration (as it's not a part of my job)... But now you mention autoyast: (though probably more intended for another list...) I build all my systems with xml-files, but found out that i had to re-create them each time over again from scratch. Obviously there are some part that change inherrently, eg the part where the installation-source is defined, (but that is understandable). Problems that spring to mind are: nfs-mountpoints often don't work (got a partially created fstab-file), same with post-installation scripts,... It's a fact of life i become to accept, but it's a waste of time.
