Regarding SuSE11 SP2 server's channel subscription.

SUSE Manager
1

Hi,

I am new to SuSE and SuSE Manager.
We currently need to patch a SuSE11 SP2 server. My basic understanding is that the server would be subscribed to the SuSE11 SP2 Channels and I need to run the “zypper update -t patch” to patch it to the latest level.

However; the “zypper lr” command shows that the server is subscribed to SuSE11 SP1 and other channels. Is this alright? Please comment or point me in the right direction.

wtsy4dj3:~ # more /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 2

wtsy4dj3:~ # zypper lr

Hi,
in the SUSE Manager UI, go to Admin->Setup Wizard->SUSE Products, locate 11 SP2 and click on the symbol in the ‘channels’ column.
This will show you the mandatory and options channels a client system must (resp. can) be subscribed to.

Hi lnxbum,

see the following TID for an explanation of the special repository setup for SLES11SP2: https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc?id=7010225

IOW, at first glance your repository subscription looks ok to me.

Regards,
