Product

The product section is mandatory. It specifies which product (distribution) you want to install. For the SUSE Linux Enterprise family of products, it allows registering the system, activating extensions, etc.

If you want to select patterns and packages for installation, check the software section.

Selecting the product​

To select the product, you need to specify its identifier (ID).

{
  product: {
    id: "Tumbleweed"
  }
}

Here is the list of known products:

  • SLES: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
  • SLES_SAP: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications.
  • Tumbleweed: Tumbleweed.
  • Slowroll: Slowroll.
  • Leap_16.0: Leap 16.0
  • MicroOS: openSUSE Micro OS.

Beware that which products are available depend on the installation image you are using.

Product mode​

Some products support different installation modes. The mode can change how the product behaves, for instance, enabling an immutable OS with transactional updates.

The supported values depend on the product. For instance, SLES supports standard and immutable modes.

In an unattended installation profile, the mode key is optional for backward compatibility; if omitted, the product will use its traditional default behavior. However, it is preferred to explicitly specify the desired mode.

{
  product: {
    id: "SLES",
    mode: "immutable"
  }
}

Registering a product​

Only for SUSE Linux Enterprise

Product registration is only available for the SUSE Linux Enterprise family of products.

If you want to register a product with the SUSE Customer Center, you need to specify the registration code and, optionally, an e-mail address.

{
  product: {
    id: "SLES",
    registrationCode: "MY-REGISTRATION-CODE",
    registrationEmail: "info@example.net"
  }
}

Enabling add-ons​

You can use the addons section if you want to activate an add-on/extension. For each of them, you can specify:

  • id: add-on identifier. This field is mandatory.
  • version: add-on version. In the very rare case that there are more than one version of the same add-on.
  • registrationCode: needed for those add-ons that require a separate registration code.
{
  product: {
    id: "SLES",
    registrationCode: "MY-REGISTRATION-CODE",
    registrationEmail: "info@example.net",
    addons: [
      {
        id: "SLES-HA"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Using a custom registration server​

In case you want to use a different registration server, for instance when using the RMT, you need to specify its URL via the registrationUrl key.

{
  product: {
    id: "SLES",
    registrationCode: "MY-REGISTRATION-CODE",
    registrationUrl: "http://rmt.example.lan"
  }
}

Using a boot argument

Alternatively, you can specify the registration URL setting the register_url boot argument.
