Hello,

I would like to get some clarifications about updating an already
registered SLES15 SP5 system to the SP6 beta.

The SLES 15 SP5 system was registered some weeks ago and now I want to
update it to SP6 and test new functionalities.



I activated my beta registration code in the Suse portal.



But now it is not clear to me what to do on my system



If I run “zipper migration”, after retrieving and refreshing several repos,
I get “No migration available”

If I run “suseconnect --regcode my_given_beta_code” I get



Activating SLES 15.5 x86_64 …

Error: Registration server returned ‘The subscription with registration
code ‘my_given_beta_code’ does not include the requested product ‘SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP5 x86_64’’ (422)

>From the faq page here:

https://www.suse.com/betaprogram/sle-beta/#faq-reg



I see

Migrating from SLE 15 to SLE 15 SP6 Beta

And it redirects me to the online option here:

https://susedoc.github.io/doc-sle/main/single-html/SLES-upgrade/#cha-upgrade-online

and then to the zipper option (5.5 Upgrading with Zypper) that seems not to
work for me.



What to do?

Tried also to de-register and register with the beta code but after

suseconnect -d  (successfully deregistered system)

suseconnect --regcode my_beta_code

I get the same error above. It seems it detects anyway an SP5 and it is not
able to apply reg code for SP6

Tried also with yast and it says the same: no migration available

Thanks for any advice,


Gianluca
