1 End of general support for SUSE Liberty Linux 7 #
SUSE Liberty Linux 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 Liberty Linux LTSS 7. 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.
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.
