B.5.1 Installing the OES migration tool

Ensure that you have installed product Open_Enterprise_Server-migration-tool before applying the OES2023to23.4 upgrade bundle.

  1. Run the zypper pd command to ensure that the Open_Enterprise_Server-migration is listed but not installed.

  2. To check the products installed, run zypper pd -i command.

  3. The installed products contain information about the distribution upgrades and the migration products that should be installed to perform the migration. Use the zypper se -t product | grep -h -- "-migration" | cut -d\| -f2 command.

    A sample output is as follows:

    Open_Enterprise_Server-migration
  4. Run the zypper in -t product Open_Enterprise_Server-migration command.

    After installing the migration tool, proceed with Assigning the OES2023to23.4upgrade Bundle to the OES 2023 Servers.
