After installing a new sles 11 server on GCE today, I attempted to patch to the latest.
But I get a response that the repository is unavailable.
If I ping, there is no response.
I erase the config and rerun it and it puts the same server back in.
I checked a few other existing servers and they also fail now and did not last week (or so).
suse_register -E
/etc/init.d/guestregister start
This was a msitake because it cleared out the repositories. I can rebuild that list by hand once the repository server is back.
smt-gce.susecloud.net at 108.59.80.221 is not reachable from any of my servers.
Other servers i patched last week with this as the repository worked and now can not accesss it either.
I can make a new VM, just not patch it or add packages. I am building 12 more today.
I'll try to bring everything to this thread....
What is the image you used to start the instance? It was a sles11-sp3 image that was available a few months. It was configured, and then we created several new images and build servers from that. We will pass 50 today.
What regions? all us-central-1a

Are you using BYOS images? No They were not available at the start of the project. Is there a way to convert? But thats another subject.
The issue appears to be at the OS level not really within the scope of this board, Google groups is meant for architectural and outages based discussions. . I would recommend posting this question on Serverfault.com [1] or Stackoverflow[2] for more visibilty.
