** Important Notes about SLES 11 SP2 specific to certain Novell products **When SLES 11 SP2 was first released, many of the Novell products such as OES11, Datasync Mobility Pack, and ZENworks were not supported on SLES11 SP2. Since then, Novell has released subsequent updates that are certified. Therefore, updates for both the underlying OS and the application/service should be considered when applying baseline updates. We are not aware of any "Current" version products on our list that are not certified on SLES 11 SP2. |
|
Miscellaneous Items and Notes |
|
| • BIOS updates, firmware, etc should be applied as recommended by the specific hardware manufacturer. The list is too vast to include here. | |
| • As a rule of thumb, there are usually several post Service Pack patches available. When applying baseline updates, we generally recommend applying those patches that are automatically downloaded either through Microsoft Update manager or Linux's Online Update tool. | |
| • *eDirectory 8.8 patch is somewhat subjective depending on software installed. For example, on OES2 or OES11, eDirectory should be updated automatically with the OES patches. Other implementations may require manual updates. |
