Hi and welcome to the Forum
You don’t say what version of SuMA? What you need to look for in the documentation is ‘Client Migration’ for example;
https://documentation.suse.com/external-tree/en-us/suma/4.0/suse-manager/upgrade/client-migration.html
and
https://documentation.suse.com/external-tree/en-us/suma/4.0/suse-manager/reference/systems/system-details/sd-sp-migration.html
AFAIK you should be able to go straight from SP3 to SP5 and skip SP4.
Copy-paste from the SP migration link above:
Procedure: Performing a Migration
- From the Main Menu > Systems > Overview page, select a client.
- Select the System Details > Software > SP Migration tab.
- Select the target migration path and click Select Channels.
- From the System Details > Software > SP Migration > Service Pack Migration - Channels view select the correct base channel, including “Mandatory Child Channels” and any additional “Optional Child Channels”. Select Schedule Migration when your channels have been configured properly
You could try all that using groups of systems, too.
