To update a SuSE Enterprise Linux (SLES) server using the command line, you can use the zypper package manager. Here are the steps to patch update SLES:

  1. Log in to the SLES server as a root user or with sudo privileges.
  2. Update the package repositories by running the following command:
zypper refresh
  1. Install any available updates by running the following command:
zypper update
  1. If there are any conflicts or dependencies, zypper will prompt you to resolve them. You can either choose to skip the conflicting package, or install a different version.
  2. Finally, reboot the server to complete the update process:
reboot

Note that it’s always a good idea to backup important data before updating the system, in case something goes wrong during the update process. Also, make sure to check the release notes and known issues before updating, to ensure that the update will not cause any compatibility issues or break any critical services.
