@RRSITS Hi and welcome to the Community 😄  
I would suspect there is no network interface on the VM, if so then it’s not active…

@RRSITS but to get access to the online repositories etc the system needs to be registered or connected to SUSE Manager or RMT system?

Yes, using the online ISO that ocupes 400mb you need to register the system to connect repositories and download packages.

With the full ISO is not necesary register the system to install it.

@RRSITS You need to add a second iso image; SLE 15 SP3 Packages ISO image

> Important: Register at this step  
> Make sure to register your system at this step in the installation. Otherwise, you can only install a minimal SLE system and will not receive updates.
> 
> To install a full (but not updated) SLES for SAP system without network access during the installation, use the SLE 15 SP3 Packages ISO image from [https://download.suse.com](https://download.suse.com). You can then choose Skip registration on this page and select the SLE 15 SP3 Packages ISO image as an add-on product on the next page.

@RRSITS Perhaps things have changed on the installer, something you likely need to ask SUSE Support about (Create a support ticket) or your SUSE Partner.

There’s an error in the SLES for SAP Applications documentation - from SLES15 SP2 onwards there is only the one full ISO required for off-line installs with the Installer and Packages ISOs being combined.

From [Evaluation Copy of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications | SUSE](https://www.suse.com/download/sle-sap/) for 15 SP2:

“Starting with SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP2, the installation medium (‘SLE-15-SP2-Online-\*-GM-DVD1.iso’) only consists of the Installer: a minimal, command-line based system for installing, updating and registering SUSE Linux Enterprise products. During the installation you will have the option to add functionality. This is done by the activation of additional modules.”
