Situation
What About SLES 10 SP4?
OES2 is not currently compatible with SLES 10 SP4. Only SLES 10 SP3 is supported as the base for
OES 2 SP3.
You must not use SLES 10 SP4 as the OES 2 SP3 install base.
You must also not upgrade an OES 2 SP3 server to SLES 10 SP4 using network media, physical
media (down-server-upgrade), or the Move-to-SLES10sp4-Patch that is currently available in the
SLES 10 SP3 patch channel.
Resolution
On April 15th, 2011, Novell announced the immediate availability of SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 Service Pack 4 (SP4), bundling all previously released patches, fixes and updates for SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 (SLES 10).
Customers running OES2sp2 will need to upgrade to OES2sp3 if they choose to install SLES10sp4.
