Server Upgrade

Before running the upgrade command, it is required to upgrade the mgradm tool first.

Procedure: Upgrading Server

  1. Refresh software repositories with zypper:

    zypper ref

  2. Apply available updates:

    1. For SLE Micro:

      transactional-update

      If updates were applied, reboot.

    2. For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server:

      zypper up

  3. The SUSE Manager Server container can be updated using the following command:

    mgradm upgrade podman

    This command will bring the status of the container up-to-date and restart the server.

  4. Clean up the unused container images to free disk space:

    podman image prune -a
Upgrading to specific version

If you do not specify the tag parameter, it will default to upgrading to the most recent version. To upgrade to a specific version, provide the tag parameter with the desired image tag.

For more information on the upgrade command and its parameters, use the following command:

mgradm upgrade podman -h

For air-gapped installations, first upgrade the container RPM packages, then run the mgradm command.
