Not sure if we can leverage xcat docker container (which run centos7 as base image) to do it. (https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-docker)
If you don't use SLES diskless (we are still thinking about how to building image for cross-distro, maybe a corresponding docker image on that distro ), the current docker container should work well.

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,
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
