It's after the Noon bell..


I'm running this on VMware Workstation 15.5.1

Putting the server and SDK iso's onto virtual CD's and on-line when connected..

IPL and select UPDATE

did it's chatter and then said no SCC pick local or skip, I have no local so skip. Some chatter that you will have to register some time..

The UPDATE did seem to run well, no issues that I noted.

On  the re-ipl this ran into emergency mode. I looked at the journal and the vm-tools looked unhappy.

So restore the image from the VMware snapshot and ran a ipl

Machine up at SLES12 SP-5 GMC

The GMC2 iso were still n the CD's

I asked Yast2 to have a try

This also was happy with a "skip" at registration and finished the update.

This time a re-ipl ran Okay, It's not saying GMC2 any place I can see, but a cat /proc/version is giving a kernel 4.12.4-119 and I had 4.12.4-115 before.

So what next. If I run an UPDATE it seems to run Okay but issues on the re-ipl. Using Yast I can re-ipl but you get nags if you use Yast, same think if you use zypper ....

I'll watch P3 of the F1 in Brazil and think about it. Anyone with thoughts please let me have them...

Grand Saturday Vincent,


Downloading a x86_64 ISO at the moment which looks Okay.


What key on my virtual test machine should I use ? I know the test key will fail, so I tried the SLES12 & 15 key used for GA and that tells me "bla bla Code does not include the required product 'SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5 x86_64' " error code 422


So I did check the "test" key and SCC does say it's time is up, it has expired.


So it looks like I will have a GMC2 iso but what do I do with it ? Polite answer expected....

Of course this also mean that the "GMC" version that was available for download, will therefore not be binary identical to the final GM of SLE 12 SP5.
