In some scenarios, in order to update devices with ZLM, you must have the operating system base packages loaded into ZLM. This utility will load the base operating system packages from either mounted media, a local installation source, or ISOs into ZLM.

This version of the tool adds support for loading OES, OES 2, SLES 10 SP2, SLED 10 SP2 and SLE SDK 10 SP2.

zlmload broken for SLES-10-SP2-x86_64 and ZLM 7.2.2

Submitted by cwx_holle on 30 July 2008 - 4:56am.

Running this:
# zlmload -P admin -b SLES-10-SP2-x86_64 -a sles-10-x86_64 -d /tmp/loop
Bundle name: SLES-10-SP2-x86_64
TARGET: sles-10-x86_64
Creating bundle SLES-10-SP2-x86_64...done.
Loading RPM's from /tmp/loop/patches/repodata ...This may take awhile...
Loading RPM's from /tmp/loop/suse/i586 ...This may take awhile...
Loading RPM's from /tmp/loop/suse/noarch ...This may take awhile...
Loading RPM's from /tmp/loop/suse/x86_64 ...This may take awhile...
done.

Results in a Bundle inside ZLM 7.2.2 with 417 of 2339 RPMs imported.
All i586 and noarch RPMs seem to be imported, but the x86_64 RPMs not.
The media has been verified twice using the checkmedia command.

Great, but...

..wish I could tell it to skip certain packages. I'm not sure why this isn't built into the core ZLM product.
