SUSE Manager 3.0 - Bootstrap UI preview

SUSE Manager
1

Hello,

While trying to add a SLES12-SP1 client to SUMA3 via the new bootstrap UI tech preview, all seems to go ok, webui tells the client has been added, its key appears on the accepted minion key list but the system doesn’t show up in the “Systems” tab. Reading the log on the client ( /var/log/salt/minion ) it reports the following error:

2016-08-26 12:53:18,813 [salt.minion ][WARNING ][9860] Unable to send mine data to master.

What patches? I’ve got a fresh install of SUMA3 and when trying to bootstrap a new SLES12sp1 I get this error:

Bootstrap failed (retcode=4): One or more requisite failed: bootstrap.salt-minion-package

Hello,

This is a different error, which also happened in my installation. I’ve solved it just deleting the ISO repo on the SLES12SP1 client. Seems this error is caused because the client is unable to install the salt-minion package. Remember also to create a SLES 12 SP1 bootstrap repo on the suma server.

HTH,

Or this error:

Server error, please check log files.

What log files? I could find nothing in any of the logs that would give me a clue as to what the error was.

Ahh… bingo, thanks for that reminder … mgr-create-bootstrap-repo -c SLE-12-SP1-x86_64 … this is one area that I believe the SUMA interface is lacking, but that is a topic for a different forum. :smiley:

Hello Jordi,

Could you tell me which patches have you applied and on which server, on the SuSE Manager or on the server you wanted to register against the suma?

Thanks in advance.
