Cross-posted to Linux-390, IBMVM, and IBM-Main All,
SUSE has announced the release of the second quarterly update (QU1) images of SLES15 SP3. Quarterly Updates are refreshed ISOs based on GA and contain the last released updates. These updated ISOs are released every 3 months. While s390x is most likely the architecture of interest for this audience, we provide ISOs for all our supported architectures (x86_64, s390x, aarch64, & ppcle64), and for Vagrant boxes, and for JeOS (KVM and Xen, VMware, HyperV, OpenStack Cloud, Xen,). (JeOS = Just enough of an Operating System, pronounced as "juice.") To access this update, go tohttps://www.suse.com/download/sles/ Make sure the following two items are selected: - Under "Stable Releases": 15 SP3 - Under "Architecture": Z Systems Then scroll down and click on the link in the text on the right below the "Download" buttons: "Please login to SUSE Customer Center[1] for the latest installer images, update channels and your evaluation subscription details." After that, the entire page will look differently, because you're now accessing the SCC downloads. Scroll down and you'll see download links for: SLE-15-SP3-Full-s390x-QU1-Media1.iso and SLE-15-SP3-Full-s390x-QU1-Media2.iso. The Media2 image only contains source, so it will not be needed to perform an install. As the file names indicate, these are the "full" ISOs and can be used to perform brand-new installations or upgrades. Scroll further down and you'll also see: SLE-15-SP3-Online-s390x-QU1-Media1.iso and SLE-15-SP3-Online-s390x-QU1-Media2.iso. The Media2 image only contains source, so it will not be needed to perform an install. These are the "online" version of the install media. That means to perform a brand new installation, you'll need to either access the SUSE repositories for all the packages that have not been updated, or a local mirror of the packages, such as provided by SMT (Subscription Management Tool), RMT (Repository Mirroring Tool), or SUSE Manager. Mark Post 1. You must create an account to access the SUSE Customer Center, or SCC. There is no cost associated with creating an account, and I've never experienced any spam from SUSE directed at this account. If you do, please let me know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
