Thanks for those that responded. The yum command is not available on these Linux guests. Did you want me to run this on my YUM sever? My YUM server does not know about these Linux guests?
I ran the command as follows: linuxd02:/var/lib/zypp/cache # rug get-prefs | grep cache cache-cleanup-enabled | True | Automatically clean up the cache cache-directory | /var/cache/zmd/web | The directory to store cached packages and metadata cache-max-size-hard-limit | False | If true, never allow the cache to grow past the maximum size cache-max-size-in-mb | 300 | The maximum size of the cache (in mb) max-cache-age | 30 | The maximum number of days to cache a file Is there any hope here?

No. This is the information your system needs to do dependency checking and to figure out what patches are needed for your system when you decide it's time to update. If you do a "rug get-prefs | grep cache" what comes back? (You'll need to temporarily start zmd for this to work).
