This document (7010011) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.
Environment
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 1
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 2
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 2
Situation
After installing a server with AutoYaST the names and alias for
add-on products and/or repositories are cryptic.
When running a zypper
command, it is not possible to determine the proper name of the
repository providing the rpm.
A 'zypper sl' shows cryptic
names for repositories and/or add-on products. An example is:
# | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh |
Type
--+--------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+---------+---------+-------
1 | http-147.2.90.3-4e7eac83 | http-147.2.90.3-4e7eac83 |
Yes | Yes | yast2
Resolution
The alias is based on the file name during creation and cannot be
changed. The name of a add-on and repository have to be defined in
the autoyast. This can be done by adding the name of the add-on
product or repository between the tags <name> </name> in the
add-on part of the xml used for the autoyast installation.
An example looks like:
<listentry>
<media_url><![CDATA[http://update-server/zenworks-yumrepo/SLES11-SP1-Updates-bundle]]></media_url>
<product>SLES11-SP1-Updates</product>
<name>SLES11-SP1-Updates</name>
<product_dir>/</product_dir>
</listentry>
