#Upgrading with Zypper
When performing the Service Pack migration, YaST will install all recommended packages. Especially in the case of custom minimal installations, this may increase the installation size of the system significantly.
To change this default behavior and allow only required packages, adjust the solver.onlyRequires option in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf.
</ vi /etc/zypp/zypp.conf
solver.onlyRequires = true
installRecommends=false
Make sure SUSE connect is available with the system .
Register your SUSE Linux Enterprise machine if you have not done so:
sudo SUSEConnect --regcode YOUR_REGISTRATION_CODE
Run zypper migration:
</sudo zypper migration
