supportconfig updated with DSfW information

A great tool to get essential information on a server is supportconfig.  It comes with SLES/OES and the latest set of patches has the DSfW information in the tool.

If you have a SR opened with support you can get the supportconfig analyzed by running supportconfig -ur $srnum; where $srnum is your 11 digit service request number.  A html report will be given which will list Critical, Warning, and Recommended messages.  Some will have TIDs and/or videos to apply to fix the issue.  Some will list a rpm to apply.

Another option to return just DSfW and OES information in the /root directory is to run:
supportconfig -kt /root -i OES,DSFW

This will not upload to Novell to have the supportconfig analyzed.  It is the ray files to look at.

 

With this DSfW piece in the new supportconfig, specific to DSfW is exporting… Continue reading

How To Register OES and SLES Servers Using Command Line and a Script

It is important to keep your servers at the current patch level.  Usually there are many bugs fixed and if you come across a new issue it helps Novell Support the the Developers.

I like to use the command line to register my servers.  It is easy and relatively fast compared to the GUI.  Even easier is to use a script.  Just copy the script to the server, modify the e-mail account and registration codes and run the script.  If something happens to the update services and repositories just run the script to clean up the old and re-register.

Below is a video demonstrating the register.sh script

TID 3030847 goes over the command line process.

Note: do not include < > for email or regcodes in the examples below

The command to register a OES server is
