sles-15-sp6-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.
