Grand Evening,

I'm in SAG tomorrow, it would be good to know when Beta-4 will be available for migration to aid local planning.

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.

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,

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

Grand Sunny Friday,

A week today, the wonderful Friday 13th RC1 is due to be released. At the moment I have not been able to run any Beta-4 ... Will RC1 run with "migration" ?
Beta-2 and Beta-3 migrated without any issues, has something "BIG" gone in between a Beta ? Nah nobody puts "BIG" items into Beta's...

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,

Subject: RE: Migration ..SLES12 SP4 to SP5

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

Grand Sunny Friday,

A week today, the wonderful Friday 13th RC1 is due to be released. At the moment I have not been able to run any Beta-4 ... Will RC1 run with "migration" ?
Beta-2 and Beta-3 migrated without any issues, has something "BIG" gone in between a Beta ? Nah nobody puts "BIG" items into Beta's...

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

Subject: [sle-beta] Error while formatting partition
Message-ID: <5D807BCC0200001000011337@prv1-mh.provo.novell.com>

Hi,

   While installing SLES12SP5-RC1 on ESXi 6.7.0 , i hit the below error.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Failure occurred during following action:
Formatting partition /dev/sda2 (12.00 GiB) with btrfs

VOLUME_CANNOT_TMP_MOUNT

System error code was: -3043
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Attaching the screen of the error message and the y2logs.

Is this a known issue?

Thanks

Hi Chetan,

when the bug occurs (the point when the attached error is shown), could
you, please, check dmesg output and provide it? (via this list or
directly to me)

There is a similarity with a recently reported bug, I would like to
confirm that

Thanks,

Hi Chetan,

forget the note about dmesg, it is already included. And it indeed looks
like the already reported bug:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1150509

Since both of the reports come from MicroFocus and right now I cannot
tell whether it is related to kernel or hardware, could you, please:

- check that you use different hardware than in the other report

- check whether you can reproduce the bug with SP4 or earlier snapshot
of SP5

Those could help asses whether it is a hardware or driver problem.

Thanks,
  Jiri

I encounter similar issue and reported bug.  https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1150973

I pasted description here.

Description of problem:
SLES 12 SP5 beta4/rc1 installation errors pops when formatting partition with following two kinds of errors: 

1) Formatting partition /dev/sda2 with btrfs, VOLUME_FORMAT_FAILED, system error code was: -3008, /sbin/mkfs.btrfs '/dev/sda2': no Valid Btrfs found on /dev/sda2 Open ctree failed.
2) Setting disk label of /dev/sda to GPT, DISK_SET_LABEL_PARTED_FAILED. System error code was: -1013, /usr/sbin/parted 0s '/dev/sda' mklabel gpt: Error Input/Output error during write on /dev/sda.

This failure only occur when hard disk is on VmWare Paravirtual SCSI, but successfully on other hard disk type, like lsilogic parallel SCSI, lsi logic sas SCSI, sata, ide or nvme.

While sles12sp5 beta1~beta3 installation successfully on hard disk based on VmWare Paravirtual SCSI.

sles12sp5 beta3 and beta4 use same version '1.0.7.0-k' vmw_pvscsi driver
 25 cmd: modinfo vmw_pvscsi | grep version
 26 version:        1.0.7.0-k
 27 srcversion:     DE4675B00D29D042B677900
 28 vermagic:       4.12.14-111-default SMP mod_unload modversions

So seems it doesn't matter with vmw_pvscsi driver.

How reproducible:
100%

Thanks

Subject: [sle-beta] SLES 12 SP5 Support for Python 2.7
Message-ID: <DBABFA01-413E-43E9-B83A-31ADBBFECC23@virtualinstruments.com>

According to https://pythonclock.org/  official support for Python 2.7 will end just as SLES 12 SP5 is released.

What does this mean as far as security fixes for Python 2.7 in SLES 12 SP5?
