I can confirm that it works well for the s390x architecture. After successfully installing the client tools, I was able to register SLES12 clients with the Spacewalk server and send updates to them. This satisfies a proof of concept so I will pursue your advice on building a repo for our architecture.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thank you also for this recommendation. I will have to start from scratch learning OBS, but I believe it will serve us well going forward on this architecture. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> <div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"> From: spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com <spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com> On Behalf Of Flores, Javier (D4\INF\IT ID) Sent: Friday, June 29, 2018 8:53 AM To: 'spacewalk-list@redhat.com' <spacewalk-list@redhat.com> Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] Adding SLE_SP3 client<o:p></o:p> </div> </div> <o:p> </o:p> Hi William<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I had a couple of spare minutes and managed to create the x390 RPMs on OBS.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <a href="https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/floritto:/spacewalk-client-2.8/SLE_12_SP3/">https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/floritto:/spacewalk-client-2.8/SLE_12_SP3/</a><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I don’t if it works as I don’t have any x390 systems, but give it a try.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Keep in mind, this is just a quick and dirty build.

I am now attempting to get some SLES clients registered with the server. Following the documentation for registering clients, I pointed our SLE_SP3 host to the correct zypper repo at opensuse.org, but received the following error when attempting to install rhn-client-tools et al: <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> “Problem: nothing provides python-newt needed by python2-rhn-client-tools-2.9.1-1.1.noarch”<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> I have verified that the python-newt package is not installed on the host. However, this is due to the fact that this package is in the “SUSE Manager Server 3.x” repo, which requires a separate subscription apart from SLES. It seems counter-intuitive to require a package that comes in the SUSE Manager Server repo which is SUSE’s proprietary alternative to Spacewalk OSS. I am hoping that I have overlooked something and there is alternative access to python-newt and any other additional packages (newt, libnewt, etc.) that I may need to get the RHN client software working in SLES.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Any insight or assistance with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
