I wanted to update our ESRS VE from V3.32.00.08 to the current version, but that does not work via the UI. So I started to check if there is a documentation how to do updates via CLI. As I could not find anything helpful, I wanted to ask you folks, if you may have something to help me out.
Could you please describe how it is failing? You may also send me the serial number of the ESRS VE via mail and I can have a look at the logs. I would prefer to fix any issues to manually work around the UI. If the Download or Apply Button do not cause an action, please test if a different browser works.
FYI: The update is tied to the paket manager in SuSE. If you issue a
zypper refresh
it will get the latest repository inventory. A
zypper list-patches
will list the available patches including their status. Usually the "needed" patches are not yet installed
zypper patch
will download the packages and immediately start the update including a reboot when finished. The checks performed by the UI for open sessions etc will not be done. To get a better timing you may use the following command to download the packages w/o applying them before actually performing the upgrade:
I am also having the same issue, I clicked download and it appears that nothing happens but after further analysis it appears that it's taking over 12 hours to download 100MB and eventually zypper just stops.
The throughput from the repo server is just dreadful. It has been like this since the update came out.
Installing: conmgr-1.0.10-22 [error] Installation of conmgr-1.0.10-22 failed: (with --nodeps --force) Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: unpacking of archive failed on file /opt/esrsve/conmgr: cpio: mkdir failed - No space left on device
This is Riham Safwat from Dell EMC Connectivity Team, I have taken the ownership of the SR, and will be assisting you.
kindly note that we are facing a common issue with downloading the latest version 3.40 so I would strongly recommend you to stay on version 3.38 as the latest version is not stable yet.

zypper patch --download-only
followed by the patch command when convenient.
