1 End of general support for SUSE Multi-Linux Support 7 #

Warning: SMT is not supported with SUSE Multi-Linux Support 7 LTSS

SUSE Multi-Linux Support 7 has reached the end of general support and is now in LTSS (Long Term Service Support).

Registering systems with SMT is not supported under SUSE Multi-Linux Support 7 LTSS. You can register RHEL 7 or CentOS Linux 7 with either SUSE Manager or the Repository Mirroring Tool (RMT).

Before you register existing systems with RMT, de-register them from SMT. You can do this directly from the SMT server using the steps in Procedure 1, “De-registering a client from SMT”.

To migrate from SMT to RMT, see Migrate from SMT to RMT in Repository Mirroring Tool Guide. Alternatively, install a fresh RMT server using the steps in Registering RHEL 7 or CentOS Linux 7 with RMT.

Procedure 1: De-registering a client from SMT #

List the existing clients and make a note of the client IDs:
```
# smt-list-registrations
```
De-register the clients using their client IDs:
```
# smt-delete-registration -g CLIENT_ID
```
To de-register multiple clients, you can use the -g option multiple times in the same command.
