We're trying to implement a 2-stage install of SLES using 12.5 base media from
2017 and a fairly wide-ranging update from 1Q22. We've done a copycds with
both isos (update copycds is targeted to a specific separate folder) and can
perform a successful. base install only with various postscripts.
We're now trying to use the osdistroupdate feature to define a new osimage that
uses the SLES 12.5 base as a start point and references the 1Q22 content as a
distro update. Problem is that we don't see any effect from doing this,
checking on sample rpms from the update folder reveals that these don't appear
on the target node, just the SLES base originals. We haven't tried to perform
a geninitrd although the update does contain an updated kernel as you might
imagine. A few outputs from our config are below, any ideas?
