SLES12SP2 AMI fails cloud registration

Using the official SLES 12 AWS AMI (e.g. in eu-central-1: ami-c425e4ab) I can’t see the SLES12 repositories.

Digging further, I see the following under /var/log/cloudregister:

I tried to re-trigger registercloudguest and see the following errors:

Launching instances (and getting registered correctly) used to work a few weeks ago.

Is some wrong with the registration servers?

I tried the same process in us-east-1 without luck and also with an older AMI.

The issue is that the instance is not getting a response from any of the region servers. Thus this is an all-region problem. I am working on the issue.

The issue is resolved.

The problem was that the region servers ran out of memory. While we have memory limit monitoring on these systems our alarms were obviously not triggered. We will investigate the alarms and make appropriate improvements.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Many thanks for the quick resolution. I can confirm that it is working now.

It seems there are still issues with the cloud repositories I am seeing errors like:

[CODE] amazon-ebs: Retrieving repository 'Various software for easier management of multiple [done]

Sorry I cannot reproduce the issue. I just updated an instances started from the same ami in eu-central-1.

What server are you pointing to?

grep susecloud /etc/hosts ?

I think we can consider this a transient issue as I haven’t seen it happen again. Thank you for taking a look at it!

Hi,

I am facing the same issue today with a newly provisioned SLES12 SP2 EC2 instance, launched from the official AMI. My instance is launched to a public subnet in a VPC, in which other SLES12 SP2 instances have been launched (a couple of weeks back) and have registered without issue.

Here’s the output of /var/log/cloudregister:

Is it possible that the same issue re availability of the SMT servers for the eu-west-1 region has occurred?

Thanks…

I am facing the same issue today with a newly provisioned SLES12 (albeit
SP4) EC2 instance.[/color]

There is no SP4 for SLES12 - SLES12 SP2 is the current release with SP3
in beta. Perhaps you mean SLES11 SP4? Please can you post the output
from “cat /etc/*release” which will clarify/confirm.

There seems to be an issue on my side too.

I launched an ec2 instance based on the suse-sles-12-sp2-v20161104-hvm-ssd-x86_64 (ami-e4a30084) and the SLES12 repositories are unavailable due to cloudregister failures.

Attempting to re-run registercloudguest --force-new just hangs with similar errors under /var/log/cloudregister.

Are the region servers having issues?

The issue seems to be resolved today, just tried launching suse-sles-12-sp2-v20161214-hvm-ssd-x86_64 (ami-c425e4ab) on eu-central-1 and the instance was able to register and access the SUSE repos successfully.
