Any SuSE Enterprise Server 9 NE 4.5 Upgrade Successes?

[LMStone]

Hi,

Usually we've updated Zimbra pretty quickly when a new version is released, but with 4.5 some of the forum posts have spooked us, probably unnecessarily, but...

Since the nature of forum posts is somewhat self-selecting (bad news and problems mostly), I thought it might be a good time to ask if anyone has yet done a successful upgrade of their Network Edition on SuSE Enterprise Server 9 to version 4.5, and if so would they mind posting so by replying to this thread, please.

Any takers?

All the best,
Mark

So are you saying that if I run a 'df -h' before attempting the upgrade and I have plenty of free space that I'll have a smooth upgrade?

I confess I'm curious how the software can function even before the upgrade when /tmp is full?

All the best,

If you're on Redhat, (I'm on FC5) I think there remains an issue.

For the record, I have 87% free space and still can't upgrade.

We have a customer that did a 4.03 -> 4.5GA (SLES9) update yesterday without incident.

We have done a bunch of RHEL4 updates all without incident.

Hi all,

Browsing the forums, it is not clear to me what success people has had when upgrading on a SLES9, (with enough diskspace) OpenSource edition.

So, could anyone confirm/comment on that 4.0.4GA to 4.5GA should work?

Regards
Daniel

Yes, it should work. As always, it goes with the advice to make a backup in case you need to restore.
