Upgrading the Sentinel 7.0 and 7.0.1 appliances fails in WebYaST because the vendor name for the patch has changed from Novell to NetIQ. You need to upgrade the appliance by using the zypper patch.
To upgrade the appliance by using the zypper patch:
Back up your configuration, then create an ESM export. For more information, see Backing Up and Restoring Data
in the NetIQ Sentinel 7.1 Administration Guide.
Log in to the appliance console as the root user.
Run the following command:
/usr/bin/zypper patch
Enter 1 to accept the vendor change from Novell to NetIQ.
Enter Y to proceed.
Enter yes to accept the license agreement.
Restart the Sentinel appliance.
