The SLES 11 Lifecycle challenge
Key concerns:• SLES 11 on Power is big endian, SLES 15 (and 12) is little endian
- Move requires SAP data conversion (export / import)
• HANA 1.0 is not available for SLES 15 or SLES 12- Upgrade to HANA 2.x required
• OS upgrade to SLES 15 (or 12) involves conversion to systemd
