Hi Andreas,


Thanks for the tip.
I will take a look there.

I was hoping to get supported packages for SLES but it seems all the 
packages are unsupported.

I was surprised that SUSE have nt published official packages for SLES 
11 and 12 so that we can just add that to our templates and move on.

I have spent far more time on this than I should have.

We are using cloud-init to deploy the ip's and I have just been given 
logs that show the cloud-init was writing to RH based ifcfg- files and 
not sles ones.

I will try to find a better package to use.

Thanks for the help.

Lance
