Please see the above error message for a hint.
Cause :
This error is nothing but zypper trying to read repo information from CD/DVD. Since one of the zypper repo is configured to look for mountable media, it’s doing its job. But, currently, that media is not connected to the system, and hence zypper is failing to read details from it.
Solution :
List your zypper repo using the command :
# zypper lr --details
# | Alias | Name | Enabled | GPG Check | Refresh | Priority | Type | URI | Service
--+----------------------+----------------------+---------+-----------+---------+----------+--------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+--------
1 | SLES12-SP1-12.1-0 | SLES12-SP1-12.1-0 | Yes | (r ) Yes | No | 99 | yast2 | cd:///?devices=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-VMware_Virtual_IDE_CDROM_Drive_10000000000000000001 |
2 | sles12-sp1-bootstrap | sles12-sp1-bootstrap | Yes | ( p) Yes | No | 99 | rpm-md | http://repo.kerneltalks.com/pub/repositories/sle/12/1/bootstrap |
Here you can see first repo’s URI is pointing to a CD. Now you can mount the CD or you can disable that repo for time being and move ahead with the installation.
Use the below command to disable CD repo. Make sure you enter correct repo number in command (here it’s 1)
# zypper mr --disable 1
Repository 'SLES12-SP1-12.1-0' has been successfully disabled.
Once CD/DVD repo is disabled successfully, re-run zypper installation command and you will be able to execute it without any errors!

You can re-enable CD/DVD repo when you have the related device mounted on the server.
