5.8 Verifying that the Upgrade was Successful

One way to verify that your OES server upgrade was successful and that the components are loading properly is to watch as the server boots. As each component is loaded, the boot logger provides a status next to it indicating if the component is loading properly.

  1. Verify the version of OES using the following command. It should be OES 23.4.

    cat /etc/novell-release

  2. Ensure that all the RPMs are up to date after an upgrade. You may use the following command to see the list of RPMs and compare them with a fresh installation of OES 23.4 or an installation source.

    rpm -qa | sort >> <type the filename where the list of rpms will be stored>
