Re: [Spacewalk-list] No packages found by yum although there are packages in Spacewalk

2014-06-27 Thread Macklin, Jason
When you run "yum repolist" at the client in question does it list the same
repos that show up at your GUI?  If they match, do they list the correct
package counts per repo when they get listed by the repolist command?

[Spacewalk-list] No packages found by yum although there are packages in Spacewalk

2014-06-27 Thread Ning Zhang
Hi,

I've got this issue only for RHEL 6. Packages cannot be found by yum
although they are displayed in Spacewalk GUI.

# yum update
Loaded plugins: downloadonly, product-id, rhnplugin, security,
upgrade-helper, verify, versionlock
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or RHN Satellite.
Setting up Update Process
No Packages marked for Update

I've done some Google searches but haven't found anything helpful.

Please help. Thank you in advance!

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Scheduled jobs picked up but not executing

2014-06-27 Thread Andy Ingham
Check out the man page for run-actions-control

>>> man rhn-actions-control

Looks like you'd (minimally) need to execute

>>> rhn-actions-control --enable-run

But may also want to enable other sorts of actions.  (We just do an 
"--enable-all" and call it a day).

When I run "rhn-actions-control --report"

How do I go about changing that?

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Scheduled jobs picked up but not executing

Hi all,

Having a funky issue with Spacewalk and scheduling remote commands. On some 
systems (around 40 or so out of over 500) I schedule a command and they get 
picked up, but they don't actually execute. The UI shows them as being picked 
up, but they just... sit there. I've verified that rhnsd and osad is running on 
the client side, and jabberd and osa-dispatcher is running on the server end.

This action will be executed after 6/26/14 2:27:00 PM EDT
This action's status is: Picked Up.
The client picked up this action on 6/26/14 2:28 PM
The client has not yet completed this action.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk Systems Physical Systems ?

2014-06-27 Thread Boyd, Robert
I’m confused by your reply.   I’m not talking about RHEL6.   I’m talking about 
CentOS/RHEL4.  The repository for CentOS4 seems to have been killed or moved.  
The wiki page refers to this:

# rpm -ivh 
http://stahnma.fedorapeople.org/spacewalk-tools/spacewalk-client-tools-0.0-1.noarch.rpm
Well …. There is no stahnma.fedorapeople.org anymore.   Would someone care to 
update this information to either declare where this repository now lives or 
declare that there is no longer any support for RHEL4 client tools?  I must 
admit I’m a bit puzzled about why this is still in the wiki.

I looked at the repo config on one of these RHEL4 servers and see this:

Ø  rpm -q --filesbypkg spacewalk-client-tools

I have a few former physical servers that were virtualized.   I tried
