## Hi All I am studying SUSE Manager … I try to perform mgr-ncc-sync to subscript Channel…but I find some channel show and I try to subscript them to show “Channel is not mirrorable”

## susemanager:~ # mgr-ncc-sync -c sles11-sp1-suse-manager-tools-x86\_64 The following channel(s) are no longer mirrorable: sle11-smt-sp2-pool-x86\_64 sle11-smt-sp2-updates-x86\_64 Channel sles11-sp1-suse-manager-tools-x86\_64 is not mirrorable.

whether channel has status channel could not Sync or not ? if the answer is Yes…why these Channel still exist in the list ?

thanks!!

Are your mirror credentials still valid ?

Which channels are shown on [novell.com/center](http://novell.com/center) as mirrorable for you ?

I’m having the same problem. I’m going through a trial for suse manager, and am unable to add the suse manager tools, though novell center says I should have access to it:

[QUOTE]mgr-ncc-sync -l  
Listing channels …

Status:

- P - channel is installed (provided)
- . - channel is not installed, but is available
- X - channel is not available

Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

Hi  
Better to start a new thread with your issue 😉

The repo you showing for the tools isn’t the one for vmware. Do you have  
activation codes for vmware, if so you may need to use one to manually  
register, then list products again. If it appears, delete the used  
license on NCC.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I have the same issue with the channels showing that they are not mirrorable even though we should have access. Did you have to manually download the packages and create a custom mirror?

Thanks,
