I’m trying to update my SLES 11 base (VM) to SLES 11 SP2 and the installer says I should have partitions mounted by device-name. So I go to change this in Yast and I choose mount by label.
I get:
Failure occurred during following action:
Setting label on /dev/sda1 to SwapDisk
System error code was -3011.
Just to be clear, you do not NEED to use labels, or UUIDs, in order to do
the upgrade. It’s recommended, particularly in environments with multiple
disks from SANs, because the load order of a disk is not guaranteed, and a
label or UUID makes the reference to that partition absolute rather than
relative to an arbitrary order of the system finding disks that are not
even local to it.
With that written, perhaps try going to SP4 instead of SP2 in case there
is a bug. Other than that, I cannot find anything great on my
already-SP-something-later system that would be error 3011, or from that
Storage.ycp line that points to an obvious problem (on my system that line
is in a method that loads a dialog box, maybe for an error, which may be
the same as yours and similarly unhelpful).

Good luck.

Just so we’re clear which version of SLES11 are you wanting to upgrade -
your post suggests SLES11 SP0. Please can you post the output from “cat
/etc/*release”.
HTH.
