[Spacewalk-list] Patch/update selection saving and re-applying
Hi, I'm looking into setting up SpaceWalk as a way of managing at least the updates/patches applied to our CentOS systems. In particular, I'm wondering whether it is feasible to save a selection of updates to install, and push thosed updates to a system some day in the future. To be more precise: let's say we have QA and production machines. Assume we go through this cycle 1. yum update on QA machine 2. test on QA machine 3. if OK, do same thing on production machine Of course, some time may pass between the actions on the QA machine and the production machine so that yum update on the QA machine on one day, and then yum update on the production machine on a later day may result in different updates and patches (later versions) being installed on the production machine. What would be the recommended way to keep the production machine at the same patchlevel as the QA machine? Is there functionality in Spacewalk to update a machine to the same version/update/patchlevel as another reference machine (ie the QA machine)? Can I save the updates applied to the QA machine, and then only update the production machine using this selection somehow? Thanks!

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Patch/update selection saving and re-applying
Hi, I plan to do pretty much the same thing. The way I was thinking of doing it was by cloning the channels and patch/update from the clones. That way the channel stays static between the QA and the prod. The primary/original channel can continue to stay in sync with RHN (or CentOS in your case).

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Patch/update selection saving and re-applying
Hi, You can create and save a stored profile of the QA machine and then apply that to the production one. You could also script against the API to fetch a list of updates waiting for the QA machine and then script the install to the production one. There's a few guides on writing perl/python to query the Spacewalk API.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Custom System Info during kickstart?
I guess I meant to ask if there was a built-in way to set custom info that could be used in the kickstart process. rhn-custom-info is what I was looking for and accomplishes the same thing as my small python script. Both, however, require a username and password. What are the minimum privileges required for a user to configure this setting? Would I have to assign this user to the Organization Administrator role?

[Spacewalk-list] Errata Import causing Taskomatic to stop processing
Hello List, I have a Spacewalk 1.8 installation with about 8000+ servers connecting to about 21 proxy servers. I was running a sync on the EPEL repository that contains Errata. This Errata was being imported by the spacewalk-repo-sync script. It started around 10:00pm and processed requests up to around 7:30 this morning. After 7:30 it appears that the taskomatic service has hung. The only way to get taskomatic back up and not process the remaining Errata is to Null out the rhnErrataNotificationQueue table. It seems the Notifications are what is causing the taskomatic service to stop processing new requests. Please let me know if there is any other info you need as I am not sure what else to provide. Thank you for your time and have a great day! Regards, Jeremy ___ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
Re: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 1.7 CPU Maxed out by postgresql (8.4)
There is probably nothing wrong (other than maybe some tuning needed?) with Spacewalk or PostgreSQL on this server. It would appear that Red Hat released approximately 100 updates in the RHEL5 x86_64 space yesterday. At least that's what it looks like from the errata-sync log. The errata got loaded into the master I'm running around the time I can see the cpu maxing out. My guess is that it's crunching through auditing all of the client servers against the errata list since I'm getting bombarded (slowly) with Spacewalk Alert emails. I'm curious as to why this activity would be generating so much cpu load for so long though. We only have about 250 servers registered in the system. It seems crazy that it would take hours to check 250 servers against 100 errata unless there's a serious problem in the design of the data / algorithm for doing the checks. Is there any easy way to take a read on Spacewalk and see that it's busy? Would be nice if there was a dashboard with meters giving a clue about whatever it's busy processing. The way I finally figured out my situation this time was noticing the flood of emails and working back to the nightly errata sync logs to see the flood of updates imported this morning.
