/opt/repository/os/SLES10SP4-x64
The boot target directory name is similar to this:
/opt/repository/boot/SLES10SP4-x64Boot
There are three DVDs that comprise SLES Version 11. Only the first DVD must be copied to the
repository. DVD2 contains source files; DVD3 contains the documentation.
Each service pack release for SLES Version 10 has already applied all patches to the installation
media.
To copy vendor-supplied SLES Version 10 OS installation files into the repository, follow these
steps:
1.
Count the number of installation media discs (CD or DVD) that were shipped with the SLES
Version 10 distribution.
2.
For each installation disc, create a sequentially numbered directory under the OS-specific
directory in /opt/repository/os/ in the repository. Follow these guidelines to create the
subdirectory names:
•
Use capital letters for the directory name
•
The directory name must be one of the following: CDn for CD media or DVDn for DVD
media.
•
Even if there is only one installation disk, the subdirectory name must include a number,
for example: CD1 or DVD1.
The following example creates the subdirectories for DVD media. In the case of CD media,
the subdirectories are named CD1, CD2, and so on.
Example 1 Repository directory structure for SLES OS installation files on CD or DVD
For SLES 10 SP3, SLES 10 SP4, SLES 11 SP1, and SLES 11 SP2:
(This example shows the subdirectories for SLES 11 SP1)
# cd /opt/repository/os/SLES11SP1-x64
mkdir DVD1
3.
Copy the contents of the installation DVD into its own DVD1 directory. If you have installation
CDs, copy the contents of the first CD into the CD1 directory, the second CD into CD2, and
so on.
4.
Copy the kernel and RAM disk boot files to the related boot target directory. The kernel file
name is linux and the RAM disk file name is initrd.
On the SLES media, the kernel and RAM disk files are located in an architecture-specific
subdirectory named boot/i386/loader or boot/x86_64/loader on the first SLES
installation disc.
5.3.3.2 Copying SLES 10 SP4 or SLES 11 SP1 (KISO) into the repository
Recently, certain updates to SLES distributions are available for download in a driver kit ISO image,
or KISO.
The OS directory and the boot target directory where you copy the installation files were provided
to you during the OS registration process described in
.
If you are copying installation files for SLES Version 11 Service Pack 1, for example, and you
named the distro as SLES11SP1–x64, the repository directory name for the installation files would
be:
/opt/repository/os/SLES11SP1-x64
The boot target directory name would be:
/opt/repository/boot/SLES11SP1-x64Boot
