YaST and Zypper Migration Fails on SLES 15 SP4 to SP5 on SUMA-Registered Clients
This document (000021648) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.
Environment
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 all Service Packs
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 all Service Packs
SUSE Multi Linux Manager 4.3
Situation
The SLES 15 SP4 system is registered to the SUMA 4.3 server as a client.
When the customer migrate SLES 15 SP4 to SP5 using the YaST and zypper migration commands, it is showing error messages
1. yast migration
│ The system is not registered, │
│ to run the online migration you need │
│ to register the system first. │
2. zypper migration

Resolution
Because customer client SLES 15 SP4 is registered to the SUSE Multi Linux Manager(SMLM - previous SUSE Manager ), migrate the client using SMLM Web UI
Product Migration
Cause
After the customer bootstraps the SLES client registered to the SCC, the SCC registration information is removed, so the YaST and zypper OS Migration commands no longer work from the client side.
