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 CD media. In the case of DVD media,
the subdirectories are named DVD1, DVD2, and so on.
Example 1 Repository directory structure for SLES OS installation files on CD or DVD
For SLES 10 and SLES 10 SP1:
(This example shows the subdirectories for SLES 10 SP1)
# cd /opt/repository/os/SLES10SP1-x64
# mkdir CD1
# mkdir CD2
# mkdir CD3
# mkdir CD4
For SLES 10 SP3, SLES 10 SP4 SLES 11and SLES 11 SP1:
(This example shows the subdirectories for SLES 11 SP1)
# cd /opt/repository/os/SLES11SP1-x64
mkdir DVD1
3.
Copy the contents of each installation disk into its own directory. For example, copy the
contents of the first CD into the CD1 directory, 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
