6.3.3 Copying SLES into the repository
The steps required to copy SLES OS installation and boot files differ between SLES Version 9
and Versions 10 and 11:
•
“Copying SLES version 10 or version 11 into the repository” (page 71)
•
“Copying SLES version 9 into the repository” (page 73)
6.3.3.1 Copying SLES version 10 or version 11 into the repository
The OS directory and the boot target directory where you copy the installation files were provided
to you during the OS registration process described in
.
If you are copying installation files for SLES Version 10 service pack 2, the repository directory
names for the installation and boot files is similar to this:
/opt/repository/os/SLES10SP2-x64
The boot target directory name is similar to this:
/opt/repository/boot/SLES10SP2-x64Boot
There are three DVDs that comprise SLES Version 11. Only the first DVD must be copied to the
repository. DVD2 contains source files; DVD3 contains the documentation.
Each service pack release for SLES Version 10 has already applied all patches to the installation
media. There is no difference between the installation media and the service pack bundles as
there is with SLES Version 9.
To copy vendor-supplied SLES Version 10 OS installation files into the repository, follow these
steps:
1.
Count the number of installation media discs (CD or DVD) that were shipped with the SLES
Version 10 distribution.
2.
For each installation disc, create a sequentially numbered directory under the OS-specific
directory in /opt/repository/os/ in the repository. Follow these guidelines to create
the subdirectory names:
•
Use all capital letters for the directory name
•
The directory name must be one of the following: CDn for CD media or DVDn for DVD
media.
•
Even if there is only one installation disk, the subdirectory name must include a number,
for example: CD1 or DVD1.
The following example creates the subdirectories for CD media. In the case of DVD media,
the subdirectories are named DVD1, DVD2, and so on.
# cd /opt/repository/os/SLES10SP2-x64
# mkdir CD1
# mkdir CD2
# mkdir CD3
# mkdir CD4
