Hi!
As everyone knows, last June 30th CentOS died for good and this caused problems for all those who had machines with this distribution. Fortunately, Suse introduced the Suse Multilinux Support project that allows you to connect machines with old versions of Red Hat Enterprise and CentOS to repositories where you can download security updates.Xenserver 8.2 is also based on CentOS 7.9 and had the same problems: does anyone kindly know if there is a procedure with Suse Multilinux Support to keep this system updated too?
Thank you very much!
Best regards

I don’t know XenServer 8.2 but does it use the same repos and/or packages?
yes, it uses the same repositories and most of the packages
If it uses the same repos then theoretically it should be possible to register XenServer the same as CentOS 7.
Presumably “cat /etc/os-release” (or equivalent release file) reports as XenServer and not CentOS? Whilst that might complicate things it shouldn’t be a blocker.
Would you be using SUSE (Multi-Linux) Manager, SMT, or RMT?
I use SUSE Multilinux Manager RMT.
I try to register the XenServer but it give me some errors:
[root@vms03-ha06 ~]# sh rmt-client-setup-res https://10.12.13.100
Detected RES version: 8
Importing repomd.xml.key
errore: repomd.xml.key: chiave pubblica 1 non con formato ‘armored’.
dnf command not found. Abort.
In fact if I launch the command: [**root@vms03-ha06 ~]# cat /etc/centos-release **
Citrix Hypervisor release 8.2.0 (xenenterprise) and if I launch: **[root@vms03-ha06 ~]# cat /etc/os-release **
NAME=“Citrix Hypervisor”
VERSION=“8.2.0”
ID=“xenenterprise”
ID_LIKE=“centos rhel fedora”
VERSION_ID=“8.2.0”
PRETTY_NAME=“Citrix Hypervisor 8.2.0”
ANSI_COLOR=“0;31”…
As you say, maybe this could create some problems…
So the *release files might not be what RMT expects or supports but it’s the output from “sh rmt-client-setup-res …” which interests me, in particular the “dnf command not found. Abort”. Does XenServer not have the dnf command?
