Environment

SUSE Multi Linux Manager 5.0

SUSE Multi Linux Manager 4.3

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP6

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP4

Situation

Migrate a Multi Linux Manager 4.3 to Multi Linux Manager 5.0 on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP6 fails with the following error:

mgradm migrate podman <oldserver.fqdn> shows error:

Error: cannot run migration script: cannot restore /var/lib/containers/storage/volumes/var-cobbler/_data SELinux permissions: exec: "restorecon": executable file not found in $PATH

Resolution

The target server is missing the "policycoreutils" package:

zypper in policycoreutils

Then run the migration command again to successfully complete the migration.

mgradm migrate podman <oldserver.fqdn>

Cause

The command is failing because SELinux is not present in SLE. Thus installing the policycoreutils package is required on the target system to resolve the problem.

Status
