mgr-create-bootstrap-repo error: package 'venv-salt-minion' not found

[AxHuGH]

Dear all,

it's not possible to create the Bootstrap Repository with the command mgr-create-bootstrap-repo:

uyuni-server:~ # mgr-create-bootstrap-repo

1. SLE-15-SP4-ppc64le
2. SLE-15-SP5-ppc64le
3. SLE-15-SP6-ppc64le
   Enter a number of a product label: 3

Suggestions:
mgr-create-bootstrap-repo uses the locally synchronized versions of files
from the Tools repository, and uses the locally synchronized pool channel
for dependency resolution.
Both should be fully synced before running the mgr-create-bootstrap-repo script.

Maybe someone can help me solve the problem?

Thank you in advance.

Are you sure you added & synced all required channels, as per the doc?

https://www.uyuni-project.org/uyuni-docs/en/uyuni/client-configuration/clients-sle.html

Looks to me like you're missing the client tools.

[AxHuGH]

there is no channel for Uyuni client toos:

uyuni-server:~ # mgr-sync list channels -c|grep -i Uyuni
uyuni-server:~ #

[juliogonzalez]

Read the doc again, as in the case of Uyuni the client tools are not managed by mgr-sync.

To add the client tools, add these channels from the command prompt:

You need spacewalk-common-channels for that.

[AxHuGH]

unfortunately does not work:

uyuni-server:~ # spacewalk-common-channels sap-hana-sles15.6-production-sle-product-sles_sap15-sp6-pool-ppc64le sles15-sp6-uyuni-client
SUSE Manager username: admin

No channels matching your selection.

You need spacewalk-common-channels only for the Uyuni-Client-Tools. The other channels come from the product page

[AxHuGH]

from the Uyuni documentation "use the spacewalk-common-channels command to add the appropriate channels:":

spacewalk-common-channels
<base_channel_label>
<child_channel_label_1> \

spacewalk-common-channels sap-hana-sles15.6-production-sle-product-sles_sap15-sp6-pool-ppc64le sles15-sp6-uyuni-client

sap-hana-sles15.6-production-sle-product-sles_sap15-sp6-pool-ppc64le is the already existing base channel
sles15-sp6-uyuni-client should be the client channel, but there is now client channel

[AxHuGH]

problem is now solved
1.) find corresponding Uyuni Client channel:
spacewalk-common-channels -l|grep sles15-sap-sp --> sles15-sap-sp6-uyuni-client
2.) add Uyuni client channel:
spacewalk-common-channels sles15-sap-sp6-uyuni-client --> "Uyuni Client Tools for SLES15 SP6 SAP ppc64le"
3.) create bootstrap repo for SLES15 SP6:
uyuni-server:~ # mgr-create-bootstrap-repo

1. SLE-15-SP4-ppc64le
2. SLE-15-SP5-ppc64le
3. SLE-15-SP6-ppc64le
   Enter a number of a product label: 3
