Hey, I've added xCAT repos to a openSUSE virtual machine and installed it without problems.
rpm --import https://xcat.org/files/xcat/repos/yum/latest/xcat-core/repodata/repomd.xml.key zypper ar -f https://xcat.org/files/xcat/repos/yum/latest/xcat-core/ xcat-core rpm --import https://xcat.org/files/xcat/repos/yum/devel/xcat-dep/sles15/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml.key zypper ar -f https://xcat.org/files/xcat/repos/yum/devel/xcat-dep/sles15/x86_64/ xcat-dep zypper install -y xCAT Now I'm dealing with this: example:~ # systemctl enable --now xcatd.service Synchronizing state of xcatd.service with SysV service script with /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
