Hello,

I went back to my SLES 12 SP-4 GA snapshot and started the machine. I used SUSEConnect  --rollback to update the SCC and -- list-ext and --status-text to check all looked Okay.

I used this time Yasy2 online update. It ran the screens and ran the update. After a re-ipl I had a working SLES12 SP-5 Beta-3 enviroment.

Now I understand both zypper and Yast use the same low level enviroments, both maybe both failing to update to Beta-4 does in some way help.

I have added the earlier conds log to the bug report.

Have a good day,

__R

Grand New Day,

Cons-log attached. I ran again and this time ran a zypper --rollback to try and make sure the SCC was Okay. I did note that a zypper lu and lp did show there were new updates since I make my snapshot, *BUT* when you run the zypper migration --query it's says ther are *NO* updates... Odd what ?

Anyway I still get a running SLES12 SP-5 Beta-3 at the end. I ro run a shutdown -r now and check it's still Beta-3.

Maybe next it's not just a --rollback but a --cleanup but that is a RPITA...

Wishing you a very good day. I'll add the cons-log to the bug report later or maybe you can ;o)

Grand Morning,

I have tried to migrate 7 machines, these are VMware machines used to QE our applications. The migration does seem to run well but when completed I have a Beta-3 version, which does run well and runs our tests, but iI wanted a Beta-4...
Let me know if you want me to run again with debug options.
__R.

Hi Marita and Dick,

    We will do some investigation include manual test to analyze this
issue, and will send the test report later.

    Anyway, I found a bug filed on SLE15SP1 may be the same issue,
bsc#1116825.

    Thanks

I have seen more isse when a --rollback is run when it's not needed than the other way around. a --rollback --query would be very helpful ;o)
