Registering Alibaba Cloud Linux Clients

In the SUSE Manager Web UI, navigate to Admin  Setup Wizard  Products.

Locate the appropriate products for your client operating system and architecture using the search bar, and check the appropriate product. This will automatically check all mandatory channels. Also all recommended channels are checked as long as the include recommended toggle is turned on. Click the arrow to see the complete list of related products, and ensure that any extra products you require are checked.

Click Add Products and wait until the products have finished synchronizing.

At the command prompt on the SUSE Manager Server, as root, use the mgr-sync command to add the appropriate channels:

mgr-sync add channel <channel_label_1>
mgr-sync add channel <channel_label_2>
mgr-sync add channel <channel_label_n>

Synchronization starts automatically. If you want to synchronize the channels manually, use:

mgr-sync sync --with-children <channel_name>

Ensure the synchronization is complete before continuing.

In the SUSE Manager Web UI, navigate to Admin  Setup Wizard and select the Products tab. This dialog displays a completion bar for each product when they are being synchronized.

Alternatively, you can navigate to Software  Manage  Channels, then click the channel associated to the repository. Navigate to the Repositories tab, then click Sync and check Sync Status.

At the command prompt on the SUSE Manager Server, as root, use the tail command to check the synchronization log file:

tail -f /var/log/rhn/reposync/<channel-label>.log

Each child channel generates its own log during the synchronization progress. You need to check all the base and child channel log files to be sure that the synchronization is complete.
