SLES 12 SP1 Installation Issue "Unable to create repository"

I am trying to install SLES 12 SP1 in SUSE Linux Xen VMWare and receiving the below error.

Unable to create repository
from URL ‘hd:/?device=/dev/xvdb’.

Details:
[SLES12-SP1-12.1-0|hd:///?device=/dev/xvdb] Valid metadata not found at specified URL

I hope someone can help me out to fix this issue.

Hi rajeshemailto,

in SUSE Linux Xen VMWare

hm, to me these would be two different environments: Either it’s Xen, or it’s VMware on Linux?

If the hypervisor is actually VMware, then “/dev/xvdb” is an unusual device naming.

If it’s Xen, then how is the DomU configured, regarding block devices?

Hi jmozdzen,

It’s a Xen environment.

Hi rajeshemailto,
