SP5 to SP6 migration exiting

Support

I just patched three servers up to SP6. I was working on the fourth and I get the response below when running “zypper migration”. Problems at SUSE? Or am I missing something on my end?

I opened a case with tech support. Ended up using SUSE Connect to deregister and cleanup everything, deleted a few files and then reregistered and all is good.

Hi, could you specify what these few files have been that you had to delete? :slight_smile:
Thank you

Here are the exact steps I took:

SUSEConnect --de-register
SUSEConnect --cleanup
rm -f /etc/SUSEConnect
rm -rf /etc/zypp/credentials.d/*
rm -rf /etc/zypp/repos.d/*
rm -f /etc/zypp/services.d/*
SUSEConnect -r reg_code -e email_address

SUSEConnect --status-text
The following three were listed as not registered:
SUSE Package Hub 15 (PackageHub/15.5/x86_64)
Desktop Applications Module (sle-module-desktop-applications/15.5/x86_64)
Web and Scripting Module (sle-module-web-scripting/15.5/x86_64)

SUSEConnect -p PackageHub/15.5/x86_64
SUSEConnect -p sle-module-desktop-applications/15.5/x86_64
SUSEConnect -p sle-module-web-scripting/15.5/x86_64

after these steps I was able to run zypper migration and it completed without any issues
