I am trying to upgrade SLES 11 SP4 to SLES 12 according to this: [https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-12/book\_sle\_deployment/data/sec\_update\_migr\_yast\_onlinemigr.html](https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-12/book_sle_deployment/data/sec_update_migr_yast_onlinemigr.html) Point 5: Install the package [FONT=Courier New][COLOR="#FF0000"]yast2-migration[/COLOR][/FONT] and its dependencies (in YaST under Software \> Software Management). My small problem is: The package [FONT=Courier New][COLOR="#FF0000"]yast2-migration[/COLOR][/FONT] is not available there. What am I doing wrong, how can I install it? ---

I apologize for my imprecise reading. I could now upgrade that far from SLES 11.4 to 12.3 but I have now this very serious issue: [https://forums.suse.com/showthread.php?12473-After-offline-upgrade-from-SLES-11-4-to-12-3-I-cannot-boot&p=53860#post53860](https://forums.suse.com/showthread.php?12473-After-offline-upgrade-from-SLES-11-4-to-12-3-I-cannot-boot&p=53860#post53860) Any idea how to fix it? May be the problem is that the SLES 11.2 VM was originally created 4 years ago on a XS 6.2 with a SLES 11.2 template and now the template has a wrong entry regarding the boot loaded which changed due to the upgrade to SLES 12.3 ---

Thank you Simon very much! I could finally fix all issues and the VM works and starts perfectly! ---
