The #1 cause of Taskomatic crashing: not enough memory assigned. Here's how to

This is normally caused when the taskomatic service hangs. Try restarting the

After you scheduled the patch updates from your sw server, did you go to the 
client and run “rhn_check –vvv”  This will tell the client to report in and

Re: [Spacewalk-list] vmware snapshots

[Yakin, Francis]

I think what he meant was the clients that on VMware. For me, I like to take a 
snapshot from VMware than take a snapshot from SW. It will works 100% in our 
env.
So, when you have a problem on the applications after the patching, you just 
roll back the previous version from VMware.

That’s my 2 cents.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] [EXTERNAL] Spacewalk 2.8 - Patching RHEL 6/7 Servers

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Phil

Yeap, this is the diff between the Product (Red Hat Satellite) and Upstream
(Spacewalk), basically, on Satellite everything will be automatically and
will sync packages and erratas. When using SW you have to do this work
manually *implementing some way to download/push to your SW server*.

There are diff ways to do this implementation, and I really recommend you
to take a look in the list archives [1]. I wrote this book [2] with all SW
workflow, unfortunately, I didn't add a way to sync Red Hat repos.

Hope this helps.

I have been able to do this by building a rhel 6 server and creating a local

the entitlements for rhel 6 and 7 covered.  From there, I set up the channels

Good afternoon

I'm currently looking in to options for introducing a single centralised 
patching solution for both Oracle Linux 6/7 and RHEL 6/7 systems. There are 
about 100 Oracle Linux servers and 50 RHEL servers. I'm starting with the 
Spacewalk product and therefore, built a proof of concept environment by 
installing Spacewalk 2.8 on an Oracle 7 system. Subsequently, I've added 
channels/repositories for Oracle 6/7 and successfully patched a number of test 
client systems.
However, I can't seem to obtain clear instructions for how to patch RHEL 6/7 
systems using Spacewalk. I believe the functionality of Red Hat Satellite and 
Spacewalk is basically the same but the ability to connect directly to RHN to 
synchronize software repositories and errata's has been disabled. I've seen 
some tentative clues that this can be circumvented as well as some reference to 
using "mrepo" but the latter just seems over complicated really.

Alternatively, if Red Hat Satellite is purchased to patch the RHEL 6/7 servers, 
has anyone had success with using it to patch Oracle 6/7 servers?

In addition to patching, I also need to investigate their provisioning 
capabilities too.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Patching notifcation - status & alerts

I think , you can also use "schedule list" , and " schedule_details" from your 
spacewalk server  , you need to have spacecmd installed

Below is the example.

spacecmd {SSM:0}> schedule_list
ID  Date CFP Action
--  ---  ---  -----
...
343 20150617T01:30:00 002Run an arbitrary script

spacecmd {SSM:0}> schedule_details 343

Pending: 2

Pending Systems
---
svr2.mydom.com
svr3.mydom.com


To cancel a pending event, use the schedule_cancel command. 
spacecmd {SSM:0}> schedule_cancel 343
INFO: Canceled action 343
Canceled 1 action(s)

To re-run a failed event, use the schedule_reschedule command.

Hi Sethu,

you only see the status of the Patch "process", if you scheduled the patches 
from the Web interface onto the clients.

You can then see the status within Web interface on the client at "system" -> 
events -> pending or history.

If you just run "yum upgrade" on the client, you won't see anything within Web 
interface. You'll only notice, that the package list has updated and there 
should not be any package to be upgraded anymore.

Hope that helped.

Hi Sethu,

you only see the status of the Patch "process", if you scheduled the patches 
from the Web interface onto the clients.

You can then see the status within Web interface on the client at "system" -> 
events -> pending or history.

If you just run "yum upgrade" on the client, you won't see anything within Web 
interface. You'll only notice, that the package list has updated and there 
should not be any package to be upgraded anymore.

Hope that helped.

[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 2.8 - Patching RHEL 6/7 Servers

[p.cook...@bham.ac.uk]

Good afternoon

I'm currently looking in to options for introducing a single centralised 
patching solution for both Oracle Linux 6/7 and RHEL 6/7 systems. There are 
about 100 Oracle Linux servers and 50 RHEL servers. I'm starting with the 
Spacewalk product and therefore, built a proof of concept environment by 
installing Spacewalk 2.8 on an Oracle 7 system. Subsequently, I've added 
channels/repositories for Oracle 6/7 and successfully patched a number of test 
client systems.
However, I can't seem to obtain clear instructions for how to patch RHEL 6/7 
systems using Spacewalk. I believe the functionality of Red Hat Satellite and 
Spacewalk is basically the same but the ability to connect directly to RHN to 
synchronize software repositories and errata's has been disabled. I've seen 
some tentative clues that this can be circumvented as well as some reference to 
using "mrepo" but the latter just seems over complicated really.

Alternatively, if Red Hat Satellite is purchased to patch the RHEL 6/7 servers, 
has anyone had success with using it to patch Oracle 6/7 servers?

In addition to patching, I also need to investigate their provisioning 
capabilities too.

Regards
Phil

[Spacewalk-list] Patching notifcation - status & alerts

[Ede, Sethu Madhav]

Hi spacewalk community-



I am new to community



When I am patching host with RHEL 7 errata from spacewalk, patch is in pending 
state for a long time and I don't see any logs from GUI/CLI.  Don't  know how 
to check the logs/status from GUI/CLI and also not receiving  any alerts/mails 
after completion of patching

Is there any way that we can check the status of the patching from GUI/CLI and 
whether patched node can notify(via email) regarding the  status of patching 
either success or failures.

Regards,
Sethu

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Can rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert be renamed?

[Mark Prangnell]

Thanks Avi,

RPMs not being created properly is and causing issues down the line is good 
enough reason not to do it! :)

Main reason behind the thinking of changing it so it would be clear that is 
using our particular ssl cert information as opposed to something which could 
be missed in the event of an update or a platform rebuild.

Thanks for the information.

Cheers

To be honest, I've never considered changing it server-side so I can't answer 
this with any degree of certainty. However, you're correct in your assessment, 
but note that the RPMs will not be created correctly because they are 
hard-coded to look for RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT. This may cause problems down 
the track if you want to PXE boot systems and have them auto-register to 
Spacewalk.

Also, why exactly do you want to change the name of this file anyway? :) I 
suspect that while it could be made to work, you're just setting yourself up 
for future technical debt on every upgrade of every system.

Cheers,
Avi
