Hello Everyone, Is it possible to use ‘SP Migration’ to upgrade multiple servers instead of one server at the same time? It means, assigning multiple servers in SSM and start to (SP Migrate) upgrade 10 or more servers just with one click. Thank you, Attila ---

Can you do it? Yes. It is supported? I do not know, and you may want to ask the company officially for that kind of answer. In the past I was told that it was not supported (SUSE Manager 2.x) but I have not asked since then. Alternatively, if you turn up logging (rhn\_check -vv) and then kick off the migration you can easily see the commands that it runs, which are just ‘zypper’ commands. As a result you can do multiple SP migrations/upgrades using the commands and achieve the same end results nicely without techniclly using that particular one-server-at-a-time feature of SUSE Manager, and that is, in my opinion, supported, and a couple clients of mine have done this in the past. – Good luck.

Thank you for your quick answer. We’re using SUMA 3.0.3 (with latest updates). Yes, I know how to use ‘remote commands’ → with ‘zypper dup’, but the “SP Migration” function is avaliable on webui and i assumed that i could use it for migration/updrade multiple servers. I hope it will work in the future. ---

You could then look at how long this took to refine a fixed schedule option to run through the upgrades? ---

Yes. SP Migration works perfectly, but I have 280 servers, so multiple ‘SP Migration’ function is really missing. ---

The solution is you make a little ruby or python script to schedule multiple SP migration via SUMA API, but I agree it would be easier on the UI. I think it worth to raise a feature request for that. system.scheduleSPMigration API call Kind regards, Istvan. ---

Sorry to be the bad guy here again, but I (i.e. my organisation) pay a six-figure sum of money and SUSE did not even include this simple option in the WebGUI? So I have to script it??? Come on SUSE, you’re selling enterprise software here for an enterprise price but it seems to me it is more like something a bad script kiddie has put together in the basement of his parents. As a customer I’m really pissed of about something like this. ---

(…) I think it worth to raise a feature request for that. (…) Our SUSE contact told us, that there is no roadmap and no intention to introduce ever a feature "to schedule multiple SP migration " in SUMA GUI. ---
