Problem

  • The HPC product (+ the HPC module) will be replaced by plain SLES + HPC module in SP6
  • https://jira.suse.com/browse/PED-7841
  • When the AutoYaST XML profile requests installing the SLE_HPC then it would display an error:
    hpc_ay_install_sp6_broken

Note: The HPC product is still defined in the latest ISO. For testing I used a manually tweaked installation repository with removed /Product-HPC directory and updated /media.1/products file.

Comments

  • If this change was in SLE15 -> SLE16 (or SLE12 -> SLE15) I'd avoid adding hacks to YaST and prefer to solve that on the documentation level and in the release notes.
  • On the other hand we should not break the SP6 installations with profiles that worked fine in SP5 and earlier. That would be a nasty surprise for the users.
  • This allows using the same AY profile for both SP5 and SP6, less maintenance for users
  • Note: Technically the HPC product is actually a SLES, the only difference is in the installed *-release package. (Plus HPC by default selects the HPC module.)

Testing

  • Tested manually, now the AutoYaST installs the standard SLES and does not report any error
    hpc_ay_install_sp6_fixed

- It has been dropped in SP6
- 4.6.5
