SLES install/update URL modification

Troubleshooting


Problem

The SUSE URL used in installation and update script is inaccessible.

Cause

SUSE updated the used URL.

Environment

Supported SLES version of PowerVC 2.0.3 and 2.0.3.1.

Resolving The Problem

SLES PowerVC  2.0.3 and 2.0.3.1 installation or update repo errors.

Refer the latest updated SLES repo URLs.

Steps to be followed before installing PowerVC 2.0.3 or updating to PowerVC 2.0.3 or 2.0.3.1

Note: You can only update to PowerVC 2.0.3.1 as there is no direct installation for PowerVC 2.0.3.1.

After downloading PowerVC 2.0.3 (powervc-opsmgr-sles-ppcle-2.0.3.tgz) or PowerVC 2.0.3.1(powervc-opsmgr-sles-ppcle-2.0.3.1.tgz) tar for installing or updating to respective versions, follow these instructions and update the SLES repo URLs before starting PowerVC installation or update.

1) Before running setup_opsmgr.sh or update_opsmgr.sh:

    a) In setup_opsmgr.sh and update_opsmgr.sh under zypper_repos() function, change [network] baseurl to           

        baseurl=https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network/SLE_15/

       Change [network_utilities] baseurl to baseurl=https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/utilities/SLE_15/.

     b) In lib/prepnode_sles.sh under configure_ansible_repo() function, change [systemsmanagement] baseurl to

          baseurl=https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement/15.4/

2) After running setup_opsmgr.sh and update_opsmgr.sh successfully before beginning installation or update, on primary node (from where powervc-opsmgr install/update is being run), update SLES repo URLs in /opt/ibm/powervc-opsmgr/ansible/core/roles/pvc_ansible/vars/sles.yml.

Additionally, if there are other repositories enabled, disable them while performing installation or upgrade of PowerVC.

3) After the modifications, you can proceed with the installation or update to 2.0.3 or 2.0.3.1 using the powervc-opsmgr install/update command.
