Hi Yuan,

We are an ISP (Deutsche Telekom) and have been using xCat for many years. One of our vendors (IBM) recommended it once to provision nodes to run their software. We are very pleased with it!

Now, we support using SLES12.3 xCAT management node to provision SLE15 diskful compute node.

I see. In the past we always tried to have a unified setup on the management nodes and the compute nodes. With the same OS level. But of course we could also stay on 12.3 for management node and provision SLE15 on the compute nodes if that is supported. Thank you for this information!

Do you know if there is a release plan for SLE15 and when it will be available?

Btw, I read on xcat.org that the project also provides "support contracts". Do you know more about that?

Best regards
Winfried

Hello Winfried,
We do not have SLES15 xcat-dep repository now.  SLES15 renamed as SLE15 based on its official release notes.  Now, we support using SLES12.3 xCAT management node to provision SLE15 diskful compute node. Could you share more information about How to use xCAT on SLES and your organization name? We can weigh the priority of supporting different OS based on customer requirements.
Thanks.
Best Regards

    Subject: [xcat-user] xcat-dep repository for SLES15
    Date: Thu, Jan 10, 2019 11:30 PM
    Hello,

    There is no repository for SLES15 in
    http://xcat.org/files/xcat/repos/yum/xcat-dep/

    Did I miss something? Or doesn't SLES15 need a xcat-dep repository? Or
    is it just too early?

    Many thanks!

    Winfried
