I have several SUSE 9.1 machines hosted in a remote DC.

Now that 9.1 is out of support I'd like to upgrade them.

Is it possible to do this remotely with only SSH connection.

YES! Definitely yes. I've upgraded machines like that. Just specify sshserver=1 sshpassword=password (AFAIK) when you boot. OR make your own boot.iso where you set these parameters.

Alternatively you can use VNC (if you have the bandwith and firewall openings). vncserver=1 vncpassword=password - really really cool!!!!

You may also try to specify ip=address as well..

Try that with RedHat!!!!

Want to avoid an 8 hour round trip if at all possible.

I've had a good Google but seen anything

conclusive.
