[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk Proxy
Morning all I’ve got a requirement to install spacewalk proxy into a RHEL4 box for some proof of concept work I’m doing. If anyone has already done this and could point me the direction of some resources docs/repos/etc I hugely grateful.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] CentOS 4 Clients - RHN TRACEBACK
On Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 08:50:04PM +, Flaherty, Patrick wrote:
I have some legacy centos 4 clients on my Spacewalk 1.5 pg backend. An
exception gets raised for function lookup_package_arch. I think I've
tracked it back to rhnPackageArch not having i686-redhat-linux
select * from package_arch_id('i686-redhat-linux');
ERROR: -20243 : (package_arch_not_found) - Package architecture could not be
found
CONTEXT: SQL statement SELECT
rhn_exception.raise_exception('package_arch_not_found')
PL/pgSQL function package_arch_id line 14 at PERFORM
So two questions;
1) Are centos 4 clients still supported?
2) What's the best way to fix this problem? Re-import the CentOS 4 packages
so that rhnPackageArch has the right values? Hack i686-redhat-linux into
rhnPackageArch? Bleed goat onto KVM environment?
The problem is that
self = type 'instance'
server.handlers.xmlrpc.registration.Registration instance at 0xa050e2c
package = type 'dict' {'release': '1.2', 'epoch': '',
'version': '1.2.1.2', 'arch': '', 'name': 'zlib-devel'}
system_id = type 'str' ?xml version=1.0?
the arch is not reported at all by RHEL 4 clients -- it is an empty
string. And empty strings behaviour differs between PostgreSQL and
Oracle:
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/PostgreSQLPortingGuide#empty_string_null
You probably want to change that empty string to None before passing
it to the lookup_package_arch because PostgreSQL will not do that
automatically like Oracle does.
Please end in a patch -- I'll be happy to review and commit it to
Spacewalk master.

[Spacewalk-list] New user with some questions
Hello, I am starting to test spacewalk in my testbed but have a few questions first. Reading through the documentation I have been unable to find a direct enough answer to my situation. So here goes. Currently we have a mixture of Fedora and Centos machines. They range from Fedora 11 to 15 and most of the Centos ones are 5.5 or 5.6. Currently we have a bunch of physical machines that are various versions and 3 Xen dom0 servers that are all Centos 5.5 with xen 4.0.1. If I read correctly spacewalk can provision new domu's on Xen. Is this correct? Secondly, since these 3 Xen machines are Centos 5.5, can spacewalk work properly with them? Would it be better if I were able to install fedora 15 on them and get xen working on that? Also I was wondering, would spacewalk need to be on a physical machine or could it be in a virtual machine? In the end I think we are going to try to move all of our servers over to Fedora so we can have a consistent versions and easier management. This will include all of our servers that are not on the local campus. Should spacewalk be able to manage the remote locations also? I apologize for all the questions, just want to make sure I have all things straight before I dive head first into this. Thanks in advance.

[Spacewalk-list] SSL Errors When rhnreg_ks'ing
I started playing around with provisioning today and got to the point where I can get a system kickstarted, but it is not showing up in spacewalk afterwards as a registered system. Looking through the kickstart, I finally tracked it down to an SSL issue when running rhnreg_ks: [root@localhost rhn]# rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://spacewalk/XMLRPC https://ql2spacewalk1/XMLRPC --sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT --activationkey=1-eab559ea4aaccb6911f1f0bf8e1ff973,1-centos-6-x86_64 An error has occurred: class 'up2date_client.up2dateErrors.SSLCertificateVerifyFailedError' See /var/log/up2date for more information This hasn't been in issue in the past because when we register systems manually, we've always done so with http (no SSL). I was running apache httpd with an SSL cert generated from our internal PKI infrastructure, so I replaced that with the cert created by the spacewalk installer. I still get the same error. I guess what I'm looking for is either a) how can I tell spacewalk to use http instead of httpd to register new systems or b) how can I get SSL working? Thanks!
