SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Proxy Upgrade

1. Refresh software repositories with zypper:

   zypper ref

2. Depending on the host operating system, proceed with these steps:

   For a transactional system such as SL Micro:

   1. Apply available updates with transactional-update:

      transactional-update

   2. If updates were applied, reboot.

   For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server:

   Update installed software with zypper:

   zypper up

3. The SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Proxy containers running on podman can be updated using the following command:

   mgrpxy upgrade podman

   Or, those running on a Kubernetes cluster can update using:

   mgrpxy upgrade kubernetes

4. On podman, clean up the unused container images to free disk space:

   podman image prune -a

   On Kubernetes the image cleanup is handled automatically, or it depends on the Kubernetes distribution. ``

5. Check for *.rpmnew and *.rpmsave files inside the container:

   mgrctl exec 'find /etc/ -name "*.rpmnew" -o -name "*.rpmsave"'

   When an upgrade includes changes to a default configuration file that has been altered after package installation, instead of overwriting the file, one of these file types is created: *.rpmnew: contains the new default configuration and leaves your altered file untouched *.rpmsave: a copy of your altered configuration that has been replaced by the new default file

6. If you find any *.rpmnew or *.rpmsave files, examine their content and merge desirable changes.
