  • Problem:
    SLES 15+ LTSS hosts with older osinfo-db do not recognize '--os-variant sles16'.
    This prevents automated deployment of SLES 16.1 guests via virt-install.
  • Solution:
    Created a new guest profile: 'sles_16_1_traditional_64_kvm_hvm_x86_64_agama_online_iso_on_sles15+_ltss'.
    Uses 'sles15' as the base os-variant to ensure hardware acceleration.

The profile name should not have "ltss" only I think. It would be better "on_slesxxxxxltss" ?

Good catch! rename profile name as sles_16_1_traditional_64_kvm_hvm_x86_64_agama_online_iso_on_sles15+_ltss
