- Start "Upgrade" option after booting through CD using "System management services". See Activating the LPAR (Starting)

- Optioncally Give network IP etc. if desired. Choose next
- Select Suse12SP4 partition to upddate and choose Next
- Agree to license and choose next

- If system is not registered with Suse we need Full installer DVD (not two separate installer / packages).
- Ideally register system and proceed.
- Select the migration target

- Do not select any additional products for installation during upgrade.

- Wait for upgrade to complete
