Hi What does the output of the command; ```auto zypper lr -d ``` It looks like you have a CD/DVD repo active and no media in the device, if you do, disabling should resolve the issue. ---

Thanks for Helping… If I do the commands you listed, do you think this may cause any issues on a server with Data-synchronizer with Mobility Pack? I was worried it may try to download SLES 11 SP3 and thats not officially supported by DataSync yet. Thank You !
