I tried to setup up a PoC for a customer on SLES 11SP3 with the HA Extension. We installed everything according to https://www.suse.com/docrep/documents/wvhlogf37z/sap_hana_system_replication_on_sles_for_sap_applications.pdf , but I failed at 5.6 Install SAPHanaSR : this package is not available, not on SLES11SP3 SLES for SAP, the HA Addon … where do I find that package? I expected it to be part of the high availability addon or the base SLES for SAP, but couldn’t find it anywhere.

I see it at least as part of the SLES11 SP3 SAP update repository. Have you registered your system, what does “zypper lr” report?
I saw the update packages, too, but the systems are currently isolated and not yet connected to external repositories. (And I’m still wondering how updates can be available for packages that are not in the distribution)
“zypper lr” reports:
# | Alias | Name | Aktiviert | Aktualisieren

Then that’s your source of trouble. Fetch the packages (RPMs) and transfer them to your machine for manual installation, that should get you over the failing step (“zypper install via repos”).
Well, the update repos also updates the amount of packages, not only their versions I’ve seen it before that new packages are provided via the update channels, though it hasn’t been the most common thing.
