Installing SLES 11 sp 3 as a VM on esxi 5.x server. During the install I received an error that the zisofs-tools is broken-failed integrity test. I didn’t have another iso to try so I skipped the install of zisofs-tools. Can anyone tell me what the ramifications of not having these tools will do? I am using the server as a test LAMP server. It is not a production server.
If they are needed, is there a way that I can install them separately?

Description:
Zisofs-tools, in conjunction with a zisofs-enabled system, allows the creation of an iso9660 filesystem that can be decompressed “live” on a file-by-file basis, while still being readable by systems without zisofs support.

If you need to open a Service Request with SUSE, this is what the Support Level Definitions states:
[QUOTE]Level 3
Problem resolution, which means to resolve complex problems identified by Level 2 Support. Resolution means closure of the issue giving rise to the service request, and may include configuration changes, implementation of a workaround, or creation of a software modification that when installed cures an Error. Resolution is not possible in all circumstances.[/QUOTE]
If you really want/need the functionality provided by zisofs-tools, here’s what you can try:

@Kevin, if your server is SLES11 SP4 why is it checking the SP1 repo for
zisofs-tools … ?

If the package is required (which you can check with “rpm -q
–whatrequires zisofs-tools”) then the install should not have completed.
Did you install from physical media or a virtual drive using the ISO? I
would be inclined to check whichever it was to see if there’s a problem

zisofs-tools hasn’t been updated in years. The same version is available in repositories for SLES11/SP1/SP2/SP3/SP4.
Repository: SUSE-Linux-Enterprise-Server-11-SP1 11.1.1-1.152My interpretation of the above is that zisofs-tools was installed from the SUSE-Linux-Enterprise-Server-11-SP1 repository. Since it hasn’t changed, there was no reason to update it from a newer repository.
