Set up the right Live Patching path for SLES 16.0 or 15 SP7, apply eligible kernel fixes, and confirm what is active without confusing it with a reboot-required kernel update.
Load a custom SLES 15 kernel module without disabling Secure Boot. Match the running kernel, sign the .ko file, enroll a MOK key, and verify loading.
SLES 15 SP5 can migrate online to SP6, but each node must reboot. Use a tested rolling upgrade or blue-green cutover to keep workloads reachable.
Use SUSE’s supported STIG profile to scan SLES 15, test remediation, review remaining findings, and retain assessment evidence.
Trace a failed Cockpit connection through DNS, port 9090, the systemd socket, firewalld, TLS, and login settings using current SUSE guidance.
Create a redundant Ethernet connection on SLES 15 with YaST and Wicked, configure active-backup bonding, and verify both ports and failover.
Turn an existing SLES 15 system into a reviewed AutoYaST profile, validate it, and use it to deploy a test server with fewer manual steps.
Install the SLES 15 KVM and libvirt tools, enable the right host service, and configure selected virtual machines to start after a reboot.
Use systemd jobs and the previous boot journal to locate a slow service, mount, or storage dependency, then correct it without masking the cause.
Use firewall-cmd to inspect the active zone, allow HTTP safely, preserve SSH access, and verify that the rule survives a reload on SLES 15.
