How to enable the SUSE repositories to download meta files and patches?

Description

It is important to keep a list of repositories enabled in the machine to download offline meta files and patches. You cannot proceed with scan/deployment if there are no enabled valid SUSE repositories found in the machine against a list of repositories which are supported. You can see the error message Unable to find a valid SUSE repo in the agent machine. Check the subscription status during a scan or deployment process.

Steps

The following steps will help in resolution:

• You can use Zypper to enable the default repositories in the machine except Debug or Source.
• Run the command zypper mr -e <repo_name> to enable the repositories using Zypper.
• Enable the additional repositories/modules provided by SUSE from which the patches can be downloaded.
• Run the command sudo zypper --xmlout --no-refresh repos -u to list the number of enabled repositories in the machine.
