GroupWise Mobility Service 2014 R2 SP2 HP2 must be run on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Support Pack 4 or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 Support Pack 1 (or later).

For server installation instructions, see the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 documentation or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 documentation respectively.

 

GroupWise Mobility Service and the Novell Customer Center (NCC)

Starting with the release of GroupWise Mobility 14.2.1 HP2, GMS no longer supports on-line updates for SLES 12 via the Novell Customer Center (NCC) channel.

 

Depending on the current state of your server, additional SUSE registration steps may be required to update SLES 12 SP1 to SP2. Before proceeding, verify that your SLES server is registered with SUSE. Do the following:

1. From a command prompt, run "SUSEConnect -s".

2. If un-registered, register your server with "SUSEConnect -r [your registation code] -e [your email address]".

 

1. Update to Mobility 2014 R2 SP2 HP2

2. Stop Mobility.

3. From a command prompt, run "zypper migration".

4. If migration fails with the following: "Can't get available migrations from server: SUSE::Connect::ApiError: Multiple base products found:[...]", 

do the following: 

 - From a command prompt, run "SUSEConnect --cleanup re-register".

 - Re-register with "SUSEConnect -r [your registation code] -e [your email address]".

5. Retry the migration with "zypper migration".
