sles-15-sp5-full-gm-install¶
VMware Photon OS deployment boot environment.
This BootEnv defines the base definition for deploying a SLES system.
It is intended as a starting point that other bootenv-customize
versions will utilize for the specific ISO version to be deployed.
Review the Profiles with the bootenv-customize
Params in them for
the specific version/patch/release.
The ISOs can be downloaded from the following website location:
Ensure you download the correct version based on the IsoFile
name
and it's matching Sha256
sum value that matches this BootEnv or
the Profile based bootenv-customize
versions.
The unattended/answerfile is selected based on the Param
select-kickseed
, which by default will select the system Template
named autoyast-sles.xml.tmpl
. Set the select-kickseed
to an
alternate template name to completely override the system default.
Note that the chroot Script must be maintained to set the Machine state correctly on reboot of the installed system, otherwise, the system will go into an eternal install/reboot/install/reboot... loop.
See the Profile named EXAMPLE-suse-sles-config
for example config
Params to customize deployment.

No IsoUrl
values are specified because SuSe protects the downloads
behind an EULA-wall.
To debug installer issues, set the Param kernel-options
to:
ssh=1 sshpassword=RocketSkates
Follow the directions on the system console of the Machine.
