The following screen allows you to create an account on your system. You have the option of specifying the user to be an 'Administrator'. Click 'Next' to continue. To change any of the options, click on the 'Green' underline heading.
Select or de-select the software from the list then click 'OK' to return to the summary screen. If you are happy with all the options chosen, then click on the ' Install ' button. The following screen will display the progress of your installation. While the software installs a slide show is displayed indicating features of SLES For a more detailed look at the installation in progress, click on the 'Details' tab. After a short period of time, your system will automatically reboot. To boot from your new installation, select the ' Boot from Hard Drive ' option.
Once your system is up, you may remove the installation media from your drive. Congratulations, your system is now loaded and you can login with the user you created earlier. If you choose to register your system for evaluation, you can activate this from the interactive ' yast ' configuration tool. At the command prompt issue the following command:. From this screen select the Online Update option. You will receive a message 'No update repository configured yet, Run configuration workflow now'.
If you choose this option, you can now enter your registration details. Once registered, you will be able to install updates and additional software. Like most distributions it includes both a default graphical user interface GUI and a command line interface option; it allows the user during installation to select which GUI they are comfortable with either KDE or GNOME , and supports thousands of software packages across the full range of open source development. Do not change this setting, otherwise a system without a normal user will not be able to provide the expected GDM log-in window.
Over the recent years TPM 2. With a different API this needs new libraries, tools and bootloader support. It is an efficient high-performance technology. In consequence, the partition name can change when a disk is added or removed from the virtual machine or when the storage configuration otherwise changes. This can lead to system errors when reinstalling or updating the bootloader. If you expect the storage configuration of a QEMU virtual machine on POWER to change over the lifetime of the installation, we recommend sidestepping this issue: Before the initial installation, assign a unique serial number to each disk in a QEMU virtual machine.
Certain workloads require a large virtual address space for a single process. To maintain compatibility with older software and hardware, processes are limited to TB virtual address space unless they explicitly map memory above TB. This functionality is supported starting with kernel 4.
We always recommend using the latest kernel update to get fixes for any issues found over the product lifetime. This can be leveraged to reduce the time spent in the capture kernel by following the below steps:. The offset for fadump is calculated in the kernel. The ibmveth interface is a paravirtualized interface. When communicating between LPARs within the same system, the interface's speed is limited only by the system's CPU and memory bandwidth.
When the virtual Ethernet is bridged to a physical network, the interface's speed is limited by the speed of that physical network. Unfortunately, the ibmveth driver has no way of determining automatically whether it is bridged to a physical network and what the speed of that link is. To determine the actual speed of the interface, use a benchmark. Improved initialization of qeth network devices in layer 2 and layer 3 allows for faster booting Linux instances.
This brings parted up to par with the functionality provided by IBM Z tools. The DASD driver can now exclude paths from normal operation if other channel paths are available. With the new quick format mode, you can define DASD volumes with a pre-formatted track layout. This significantly reduces the deployment time of DASD volumes. This is especially helpful on systems with hundreds of zFCP disks and exclusive zoning. However, on systems with few disks and an open fabric, this can lead to long boot times or access to inappropriate disks.
It can also lead to difficulties offlining and removing disks. To disable LUN scanning, set the boot parameter zfcp. Secure connections for snIPL enable Linux to remotely handle a greater variety of environments.
This allows performing cryptographic operations as on older hardware which means an easier migration to new hardware. When code needs to be treated as read-only, software breakpoints cannot be used. GDB can now use hardware breakpoints for debugging. Applications with huge memory sets can use 2 GB large memory pages for improved memory handling. The following sections describe requirements and support limitations of custom and modified images.
The SUSE image provides a configuration file to that effect. This pin mux configuration along with any external devices attached to the pins is defined in the Device Tree which is passed by the bootloader to the kernel.
However, insofar as drivers for pin functions and for attached chipsets are included in SUSE Linux Enterprise, they can be used. SUSE does not provide support for making changes to the Device Tree but successful changes will not affect the support status of the operating system itself. Be aware that errors in the Device Tree can stop the system from booting successfully or can even damage the hardware.
The source package u-boot-rpi3 includes the corresponding Device Tree sources. To generate a suitable bcmrpib. Modify the obtained sources as needed, adding or changing Device Tree nodes according to the Device Tree Bindings in the kernel documentation.
Do not forget about pinctrl settings! You may also see a thin purple line at the edge of the screen. Symptoms include a crash in the mdio-xgene network driver. For any questions about obtaining and upgrading this firmware, contact the hardware vendor.
After updating the firmware to a new version, it may in turn no longer be possible to run SLES 12 SP2, unless the firmware is downgraded to a lower version again. Drivers for the following additional System-on-Chip platforms have been enabled in the SP3 kernel:. This release is compatible with the generic AArch64 platforms and the following Cavium platforms:. Your system needs to meet certain requirements before ODP can be used. The general requirements are as follows:.
Cunit shared library in rootfs for running unit tests and proper configure. Hugetlbfs must be mounted with considerable amount of pages added to it minimum MB of memory. For some hardware-related cases, physically contiguous memory is needed.
If the ODP application has startup problems, we recommend increasing the hugepage pool by adding more pages to the pool than required. KVM virtualization has been enabled and is supported on some system-on-chip platforms for mutually agreed-upon partner-specific use cases. It is only supported on partner certified hardware and firmware. The same statement is applicable for other virtualization tools shipped on AArch The system compiler gcc4. To work around this issue, you previously had to enable the Toolchain module manually and use the GCC version from that module.
This makes the latest SLE compilers available on all installations. You now only need to make sure to also use that compiler. This section comprises changes to packages, such as additions, updates, removals and changes to the package layout of software.
Icinga is compatible with a previously included monitoring server. LibreOffice has been updated to the new major version 6. For information about major changes, see the LibreOffice 6. To upgrade a PostgreSQL server installation from an older version, the database files need to be converted to the new version.
However, availability of PostgreSQL 9. This means that minor releases of PostgreSQL 10 are for example Previously, both the parts of the version number were significant for the major version. For example, PostgreSQL 9. The packages of your current PostgreSQL version must have been upgraded to their latest maintenance update.
The packages of the new PostgreSQL major version need to be installed. For SLE 12, this means installing postgresqlserver and all the packages it depends on. This command can take very long. Some programs require GnuTLS version 3. The upgrade from GnuTLS 3. The library libgnutls-xssl. Postfix version 2.
For information about major changes in the new version of Postfix, see:. For more detailed information about changes between version 2. To upgrade a PostgreSQL server installation from version 9. This means you must first migrate PostgreSQL from 8. Formerly, it was necessary to dump and restore the database files which was much slower.
To allow this, we had to change the way PostgreSQL is packaged as well as the naming of the packages, so that two or more versions of PostgreSQL can be installed in parallel. Starting with version 9. In PostgreSQL terms, the major version consists of the first two components of the version number, for example, 9. So, the packages for PostgreSQL 9.
This avoids file conflicts if multiple packages are installed in parallel. Linux SCI. Rate this project. The release announcement states the new update includes a number of improvements to virtualization and security: " SUSE Linux Enterprise has always been part of any 'zero downtime' solution.
Now you can further enhance uptime with: Improved geo recovery management with a geo cluster bootstrap kit that simplifies cluster implementation.

Raj Meel has announced the availability of the fifth service pack for SUSE Linux Enterprise 12, the current legacy branch of the company's commercial, enterprise-class distribution with long-term support for over 10 years.
Service Pack 5 is the next service pack since the release of Service Pack 4 in Dec SEV enables guest virtual machines to run in encrypted memory, helping to protect them from memory scrape attacks from the hypervisor. Reduced downtime for updates - Transactional updates a tech preview with SP1 offer a significant reduction in the maintenance window for updates, providing more production uptime. A day free trial can be obtained through the company's download site. The new snapshot includes many bug fixes and several package updates.
We have the constraints of considering RC milestones like FCS releases, in term of bug fixing and providing security fixes, which means that we are focusing on stability but there is also less room for intrusive changes. Of course, exceptions happen and developing, stabilizing, building and testing an entire operating system and products around it are complex tasks.
Nevertheless with the help of our talented engineers, powerful tool like Open Build Service and openQA, and the ability for external parties to participate in the development phase, we will be able to deliver the best SUSE Linux Enterprise version yet.
