SLE 10 virtual machines created on a SLE 10 SP1 host do not need to follow the same
procedures to be updated to SP1. In addition, SLE 10 did not support SLE 10 fully
virtual machines.
NOTE
In SLE 10, changing the conguration of a virtual machine by editing its con-
guration le (etc/xen/vm/vm_name) was acceptable. In SLE 10 SP1 and later,
editing the conguration le is no longer recommended. Instead, virtual machine
conguration changes should be made in Virtual Machine Manager and by
editing virtual machine settings stored in the xend database.
To update a SLE 10 virtual machine to SLE 10 SP1, complete the following procedure.
1
Make sure the host computer is running the most recent SLE updates. The host
computer must be running software that is more recent than the software planned
for the virtual machine update.
2
Prepare the virtual machine’s operating system environment for the update by
completing any prerequisite tasks. It is recommended to make a copy of the entire
virtual disk.
3
Shut down the virtual machine you want to update.
4
View or print the virtual machine’s conguration le located at etc/xen/vm/
vm_name.
5
On Domain0, use Virtual Machine Manager to create a new virtual machine.
6
Choose the selection to install an operating system.
7
Specify the settings for the new virtual machine as the same settings specied in
the VM’s conguration le.
Make sure the following settings in Virtual Machine Manager match those in the
VM’s conguration le.
• Network MAC address
• Memory size
64 Virtualization with Xen
