Re: [Spacewalk-list] Newbie, question about channels
There is no way I am aware of to do both at the same time. Configurations and packages are managed separately. Making sure all 5 ( or 100, or 1000) systems have the same configuration files should not be too hard. 1. put all of the configuration files you want to maintain in a configuration channel 2. use the System Set Manager to deploy the files to all the machines. 3. difference counts will be displayed in the 'Configs' column of the systems overview page. For your 5 systems you can use the profile compare feature in (Systems->Software->Packages->Profiles) but this only works for one system at a time. The kickstarting feature described by Ian would work for multiple systems at a time during initial deployment but not after. As far as I know there is no good way to make sure a 1000 systems have the same packages installed. Somebody could install a package and as long as there is not a more up to date version in one of the subscribed channels I would never know. Somebody could remove pacakges and I would never know. Is there a package profile compare in SSM I am not aware of ? ___ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
Re: [Spacewalk-list] Snapshot Rollback always redeploys all configuration files
I attempted this in on RHEL5 and 6. 6 just blew up and Im looking into why now. RHEL5 worked but re/deployed when it appears it should not have. It also appears to have wanted to modify the group membership which also never changed though I cant confirm this. Please let me know once you have the file so I can remove it. Thanks! http://www.myriad.com/rollback_rhn_check_output.tar.gz Process RHEL5: *yum install psutils *yum install a2ps *Attempted to rollback to the psutils only install. *At no point was anything done regarding config files spacewalk side. RHEL6: *yum install psutils *yum install bsf *Attempted to rollback to the psutils only install. *At no point was anything done regarding config files spacewalk side. Results rhel6_rollback.txt: Contains rhn_check output for a RHEL6 system. *This crashed and I have no clue why as I dont know what an "oracle" user has to do with this system in any form nor fashion. It does not exist, never has existed and does spacewalk even deal with system user accounts? This one totally confuses me too. rhel5_rollback.txt: Contains rhn_check output for a RHEL5 system. *The rollback succeeded but it did indeed do the following: 1)Deployed all files from all subscribed channels. 2)Deployed files from subscribed channels which were never deployed to this server. 3)Deployed files that had been changed locally on the server but not via spacewalk meaning it should have at most realized they changed but it was never part of a spacewalk even so there should have been no rollback of said file(s). rhel5_before_rollback.jpg *Configuration comparison via spacewalk gui screen shot of the RHEL5 system before rollback. rhel5_after_rollback.jpg *Configuration comparison via spacewalk gui screen shot of the RHEL5 system after rollback. Specific examples of what happens: /etc/logrotate.d/console *Never existed on this system yet it deployed. /etc/rc3.d/S98myriadfirstboot *Is deployed during server creation but destroys itself on the first boot. It was redeployed even though it was part of no scheduled action. Suppose this might be a legitimate action though since it sees its missing. Seems odd to me that since its removal is not a spacewalk event why it would decide to redeploy when not told to do so. /etc/cron.d/spacewalk_rhncheck I commented out the first cron job in this file and it was redeployed with the non-comment one. Again, I never changed it via spacewalk (vi locally only) and it was redeployed. Spacewalk at most would know its different but its not part of a rollback as the file prior to this(S98myriadfirstboot). /etc/resolv.conf *Tossed in "#test" at the bottom of the file. It was redeployed and comment lost. Again this was edited locally and not via spacewalk and it should have not rolled back as there was nothing to "rollback" to.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Newbie, question about channels
I am not aware of a way to "sync configuration files" but if you push all the configs you want to maintain into a channel(s) you can simply then deploy all files from those configuration channels to all hosts and be confident they will all be the same. Keep in mind though there are some configuration file issues such as rollbacks do strange things (ie: rollbacks in general will redeploy all configuration files). The only way I have seen around this is to lock the system, rollback, unschedule the bits of the rollback you do not want, unlock the system. The sync'ing of package profiles (whether saved or to an existing system) work very nicely. I have used it many times here. I have even used it in a "rollback" process to pull a machine back to an old configuration state known to be "ok" that only existed on a different but currently operational server.

I browsed the documentation but so no mention of how to take an existing system, all its configs and packages, and create a channel that other systems can update from. Regarding the packages, you could do it with a channel or a package profile. I'd recommend the latter. Once the first system that you want done is built (which you say you've completed), ensure that it's registered to Spacewalk. Then you can build the other 4 systems, and have them sync package profiles to that of the first system. It's one of the advanced options in Kickstart.

So it works fine then, right?

I'd say, your client isn't Remote Command execution capable.
