I had a Sles 11 Sp2 server that I attempted to upgrade to SP3 using the
zypper commands because the wagon method failed. Somewhere along the
way the server now thinks it’s now sles for vmware instead of sles 11
sp2 so the machine is no longer registered since I don’t have a
registration code for sles for vmware, nor do I want one. How do I get
it to recognize it for what it is which is Sles 11 SP2?
Hi
If you log into SCC and remove the system and then re-registering it
with your activation code should sort it out.
You might want to also clean out the credentials;
rm /etc/zypp/credentials.d/NCCcredentials–

Since this is SLES11 SP2/SP3 you’ll need to log into Novell Customer
Center (as indicated by …/NCCcredentials).

How was the server upgraded - what steps did you follow?
What do “cat /etc/*release” and “zypper se -t product” output?
If the server thinks it’s SLES for VMware rather than “regular” SLES
then removing it from NCC and re-registering it will only achieve the
same outcome. Is it possible the server was actually SLES11 SP2 for
VMware before the upgrade?
HTH.
