1.3. OPTIONAL: Registration from the command line

If you added SUSE Multi-Linux Manager 5.1 as an extension during SL Micro 6.1 installation then you can skip this procedure. However, optionally you may skip registration during SL Micro 6.1 installation by selecting the Skip Registration button. This section provides steps on registering your products after SL Micro 6.1 installation.

The following steps register a SUSE Multi-Linux Manager 5.1 extension with the x86-64 architecture and thus require a registration code for the x86-64 architecture. To register ARM or s390x architectures use the correct registration code.
Procedure: Registering from the Command Line

  1. List available extensions with the following command:

    transactional-update --quiet register --list-extensions

  2. From the list of available extensions, select the one you wish to install:

    1. If installing the Server, use your SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Server Extension 5.1 x86_64 registration code with following command:

      transactional-update register -p Multi-Linux-Manager-Server/5.1/x86_64 -r <reg_code>

    2. If installing the Proxy, use your SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Proxy Extension 5.1 x86_64 registration code with following command:

      transactional-update register -p Multi-Linux-Manager-Proxy/5.1/x86_64 -r <reg_code>

  3. 重引导。

1.4. 更新系统

过程：更新系统

  1. 以 root 身份登录。

  2. 运行 transactional-update：

    transactional-update

  3. 重引导。

SL Micro is designed to update itself automatically by default and will reboot after applying updates. However, this behavior is not desirable for the SUSE Multi-Linux Manager environment. To prevent automatic updates on your server, SUSE Multi-Linux Manager disables the transactional-update timer during the bootstrap process.

If you prefer the SL Micro default behavior, enable the timer by running the following command:

systemctl enable --now transactional-update.timer
