5.4.2 To Upgrade Using a Network Installation Source with
DHCP (Offline)
1 Ensure that the server meets the upgrade requirements. See
Requirements" on page
2 Insert the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP3 CD 1 into the CD-ROM drive (or the SP3
DVD in a compatible drive) of the server you want to upgrade to OES 2 SP2 Linux, then reboot
the server.
3 From the boot menu, select one of the following Installation options that matches your
environment, but do not press Enter.
Installation: The normal installation mode. All modern hardware functions are enabled.
Installation—ACPI Disabled: If the normal installation fails, it might be because the
system hardware does not support ACPI (advanced configuration and power interface). If
this seems to be the case, use this option to install without ACPI support.
Installation—Local APIC Disabled: If the normal installation fails, it might be because
the system hardware does not support local APIC (advanced programmable interrupt
controllers). If this seems to be the case, use this option to install without local APIC
support.
If you are not sure, try Installation—ACPI Disabled or Installation—Safe Settings first.
Installation—Safe Settings: Boots the system with the DMA mode (for CD-ROM
drives) and power management functions disabled. Experts can also use the command line
to enter or change kernel parameters.
4 Specify the network installation source.
Because your network has DHCP, you don't need to specify an IP address for the server.
However, you do need to specify the path to your network installation source.
Do one of the following:
Press F4. Select the network installation type (NFS, FTP, HTTP). Type the server name
and installation path of your network installation source, then click OK.
