Dear Team,
We are going to configure automation tool i.e. ANSIBLE on production server. for that, I have install SLES12 SP2 operating system. Also, We have configure SMT server. I am not able to search " ansible " package into local repository.
How can I install ansible on production server without using internet ?
Regards,
Rajesh Kathar

Hi and welcome to the Forum 
Ansible is not part of SLE, you would need to either download a prebuilt rpm, build a version on OBS (https://build.opensuse.org/) or build from source.
There are some builds on OBS, but none for SLE 12 SP2.
https://software.opensuse.org/package/ansible
In all cases you would need to get it onto a storage device and manually install… (zypper in <some_rpm>) it should then pull in any dependiences from the SMT server.
Install from official SUSE Repositories on your central Ansible Host:
The central Ansible Host must be able to connect to your SUSE servers (SSH, non-root user, sudo rule for the non-root user on each SUSE server)
Using a server with internet access (e.g. a private laptop), pull Ansible from GIT, build a Tar and move the TAR
to your central (SUSE) Ansible Host. There is no need to install Ansible on every SUSE server. Ansible is agent-less:
$ git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git --recursive
$ git checkout tags/v2.2.1.0-1
$ git submodule update --init
$ mv ansible/ ansible.v2.2.1.0-1
$ tar --exclude=.git\* -cvf ansible.v2.2.1.0-1.tar ansible.v2.2.1.0-1

Dear Team,
Can I install Ansible using tar file [ compile base ] ? If yes, Can you provide me tar file and steps to install it. Still, I am not getting any SLES tutorial on google:confused:. Please help.

Yes you can download and install Ansible from source (Phonthip even gave
you the steps) but version 2.1 is available to install via the SUSE
Package Hub - see https://packagehub.suse.com/packages/ansible/
If the SUSE Package Hub extension is not already enabled on your server
you can enable it (provided your server is registered with the SUSE
Customer Center) by entering “SUSEConnect -p PackageHub/12.2/x86_64”.
After that you should then simply be able to “zypper in ansible”.
