Upgrade SuSE 10 to SuSE 11

[former_member199632]

Hi,

In Production environment, we having SuSE 10 SP 2,

Sever count is 10

We are interesting in upgrading this SuSE 10 SP 2 to SuSE 11 SP2

What would be the best possible method to achieve this task?

Do we needs to apply patches sequentially

i.e:  SuSE 10 SP3 ->  SuSE 10 SP4 ->SuSE 11 SP1 -> SuSE 11 SP2

or

else  is it possible to use the upgrade option in SuSE 11 SP2 DVD and perform installation at one go?

What about the down time in both the options?

You need to follow path SuSE 10 SP2 --> SuSE 10 SP3 ->  SuSE 10 SP4 -> SuSE 11 SP2.
