SLES 15 SP1 anyone ?

[fperillo]

We have a software that before installing check for os version and doesn't install on anything newer than SLES15 SP1.

So I was tasked to create a template...

I installed a basic SP1, dumped the autoinst.xml

Then started to use this tool and, after adding netsetup=dhcp otherwise it din' setup the network card, I get errors from the sles install process, reporting a problem with the autoinst.xml file.

I will investigate more tomorrow, and will also try a couple of autoinst.xml samples found on the web.

But I'd ask here 2 questions:

• is autoinst.xml sent as is to installing server or is modified somehow?
• has anybody succesfully built a SLES15 SP1 template ?

Thank you

If you need to use 15.1 you'll of course need to use that ISO but also update the autoinst.pkrtl.hcl template from to set 15.1.
