Question: do you not have a actual OES-Server that hold the master eDir? and better two oes-server for a replica!

OES 24.3 is the actual version based on sles15sp4, oes24.4 is coming the next quartal

not all services / programs are validated for sles15sp6 and sles12sp5 is for me obsolete, but used as os for many ot-applications as zcm, zsd, filr, aa, etc...

this may be a wonder to had all on one os-version by ot, may be a dream from me!

No we don't use OES, just SLES

Why? What is the reason? i come from novell netware in 1985, had migrate to oes11 near 2010 and had migrated to all version, now on 24.3. It is very stable and any "more features" that sles not had.

Now i am retired and i continue to follow the development and participate on many beta products, i will not missed all this possiblities over a only sles-server!

It is not a critic, i ask for understanding other minds and experience!

great regards

Hello Claude,

there are cases where a pure eDir is required in the IAM/IDM area. A core OS without the OES baggage makes sense here. In the field, I have some pure SLES systems with eDir that are even masters because I can do things with them where OES Core is in the background. A SLES is set up very quickly with Ranger or similar from a script as a minimal OS and setting up eDir is a case of less than 5 minutes if you know what you are doing.

may be, Georg!

OES-Installation take not longer time as SLES-Installation and the configuration of supplement oes services is very easy.

But i want to anderstand the motivation of a2822au! Each customer has his own regards of a stable system!

Claude, in customer installations in which Proxmox, KVM or OpenStack is running, I can pull up a ready-made SLES with all the necessary patches from an image within 3-4 minutes using Scipt - all the parameters that a system must have are correct. Network, name, firewall, driver, time source and more. Even with the help of an install server it is possible to have a SLES faster than an OES.
