OES patching unattended zypper patch vs zypper up

Arndt von der Decken

We patch our servers unattended with Suse Manager, if we use zypper patch and there are interactive patches, often we can't do it unattended. The same patches work with zypper up unattended.

The actual patch run is a good example:

oestest-2024:~ # zypper --non-interactive patch -y --auto-agree-with-licenses
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Warning: Patch 'oes23.4-2024-14-1' is interactive, skipping.
Warning: Patch 'oes23.4-2024-13-1' is interactive, skipping.
Resolving package dependencies...
Nothing to do.

zypper --non-interactive up -y --auto-agree-with-licenses

runs fully unattended

Is there a way to use zypper patch to patch a huge number of servers unattended?

Best regards

Arndt
