Hi all,
I've updated a few servers to SP1. I performed the "update" by booting
the SP1 dvd, selecting installation and then update.
During the update, I select to update only the installed packages but
the update process in the end installed all the basic SP1, i.e 93
packages more than what was on the servers before the installation
(from the minimum SLES10 GA installation I removed +/- 60 packages
that I normally don't need).
Is it "normal", i.e the choice of updating only the installed packages
means "all the packages installed with the minimum installation"?
I also noticed that a few services are automatically added and
started, especially slpd, portmap, suse_register, nfsboot. I script
everything and I've already a post-sp1 script ready so it's not a lot
of work to apply a few changes to all the server but It would be nice
if it could be avoided in the future service packs (maybe with an
option like the one on "updates only installed packages").
I will disable again slpd, portmap and nfsboot but I was wondering
whether I could do the same with suse_register as I'm using a local
yum repository or whether there are some contraindications?
Last question, which is not directly related to the SP1 updates but
it's something I'm thinking about changing in my vmware SLES10-SP1
template. One of the packages I used to remove is the NetworkManager:
it's something I don't use on the servers as I'm pretty traditional,
to me it makes sense only on the desktop. The fact is that zmd gives
me the following warnings:
bango zmd: NetworkManagerModule (WARN): Failed to connect to NetworkManager
bango zmd: Daemon (WARN): Not starting remote web server
I can either install the NetworkManager or not taking into
consideration these warnings. But I would to understand what kind of
impact it can have. Especially I search in the SLES documentation but
didn't find documentation explaining what was that "remote web server"
that zma tries regularly to start. Any pointer would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Gael
