I’m not experienced with salt on suse manager. I noticed this on a sles11-sp4 system after registering it to suse-manager as salt-minion when I execute a ‘salt-call state.apply’
1. what does it mean?
2. any chance to fix this? Where to look for?
The system seems to be good - all repositorys from suse manager are online and available.
Here’s the code
# salt-call state.apply

SLES 11 is still based on sysv-init for OS services and not systemctl like SLE12 and later. Looks like Salt does not full support this.
If you think this is a bug, please open a support request and provide the client’s “supportconfig”.

We had this problem with SLES 11 and SLES 12 Minions last year. After opening a SR it turned out to be a bug. There should be fixed versions in the channel. Therefore patching SUSE Manger and the Minions might solve your issue.

Hello,
since yesterday after patching to the latest version of salt I am experiencing the same problem. But only on SLES\_SAP-12 machines.

I suggest opening a service request with SUSE.
