Upgrading from SLES15 SP7 to SLES 16.0 failed!

Hi,

I have checked the file. It really contains useful information. The error is:

Apr 10 09:39:31 localhost.localdomain suse-migration-prepare[1875]:   File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/suse_migration_services/units/prepare.py", line 145, in perform
Apr 10 09:39:31 localhost.localdomain suse-migration-prepare[1875]:     contents = fp.read()
Apr 10 09:39:31 localhost.localdomain suse-migration-prepare[1875]:   File "<frozen codecs>", line 325, in decode
Apr 10 09:39:31 localhost.localdomain suse-migration-prepare[1875]: UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe4 in position 8032: invalid continuation byte

According to the source code the service is opening /etc/hosts and failing because of Ü character.

Looking into supportconfig, I see you have two lines:

XXX.25.98.48    udapmnzXXXXXX       udapmnz         # AIP UBIS-Server f�r temp. Kundensysteme
XXX.168.150.53  iautoXXXXX                 # Cluster 1 HA-Autom. Abl�ufe

Remove the ü and try again the migration.

Have a nice weekend,

Ahmad
