Many Thanks for the update, as it fails with both zypper and yast that does give me a good feeling ;o)

Hello Dick

Thanks a lot for your detail testing report.
Now we can reproduce your issue(reach beta3 instead of beta4) and will continue investigate, since we couldn't reproduce this issue with offline migration scenario.
Will contact you if we need more information from you.

Thanks.
Regards
Gao Wei

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.

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
