SLES 10 SP1 OES2 to SLES SP2 OES2 SP1

[Alar Pandis]

Hi again and thanks Joe!
Yes, in-place. And, yes, OES2 (on SLES 10 and also on NW 6.5) working ...
seems to ... fine in same tree with NW 5.1 (master).
First I tried find something for "intel-e1000", but ... not much. I have HP
dc7800 machine, probably it is connected with that. I see SLES 10 SP2
drivers for dc7900, but not for dc7800. About ... libsmbMgmt and etc. I
can't imagine connections.
More thanks,
Alar.

Alar,
	I presume this is performing a SLES in-place upgrade with the
OES2 SP1 part being an add-on product at the same time.
	You need to look at the particular dependencies being shown
as problematic. There may be a number of obsolete RPMs which need to
be removed, and that would be normal. Assuming the notices are of this
kind you can go ahead with the process. Otherwise you will need to dig
deeper into the reason why some items are causing trouble.
	I have performed this kind of upgrade several times on production
servers and the results have been fine. However, I have not tried this
with a NW 5 server in the mixture. The likely worry about NW 5 is eDir
details. As you already have NW 5 mixed with OES2/Linux that means
eDir 8.8 is now present in the tree and working correctly, so that
the change to 8.8.4 with SP1 ought not be a problem.
