Re: [Spacewalk-list] [EXTERNAL] /var/satellite full (1.2TB). What happens if I remove some of the contents?

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hi,

I can tell you this script is going to use the SW API. Once your system/db
is down, API will be down as well. Try to cleanup some files first (ISO) or
any other log that will allow you to start your SW once again, after that,
go for it.

I hope this helps.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] question.

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hi,

Yea, I remember when I used to support Satellite 5 and I saw this kind of
question/approach a lot. Basically, the customer can run/psuh "ls" or "rm
-rf /". For SW it will be just a command. You can also check the logs on
the client side and check but on SW side, for sure the information will be
on the db.

Again, sorry but I have no SW on my side atm to tell you what table it
should be.

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello,

If I'm not wrong, you can get this information on the DB. It will not be
available in the log file.

Unfortunately, I'm not with an SW machine here, but should not be hard to
figure it out.

I hope this helps.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] /var/satellite full (1.2TB). What happens if I remove some of the contents?

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello,

spacewalk-data-fsck should be the way to move on. Once you are facing
issues with your storage/area and your DB is not going up, what you can try
is, check for ISO files, normally, they are big. Once you are able to find
some, remove or move them and after that, put back your database, after
that, you can rerun spacewalk-data-fsck and let the app do the job.

This guy will check the filesystem and the db and will proceed with some
cleanup, also, you can remove some old stuff from your Satellite, some repo
that you are not using anymore, if I'm not wrong, spacewalk-data-fsck will
also check the data with no use/reference and will remove them as well.

I hope this helps.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] GPG keys distribution from Spacewalk

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Jackson

You can proceed as below

To obtain all the features from clients, it is necessary to execute some
routines on the clients after register in Spacewalk as follows:

   - GPG keys of custom channel/the 3rd channel. Let’s talk again about the
   item 2.3, where we talked about child channels. They have a signature GPG
   file package - well, as we described, we shared it on the server (
   http://spacewalk.network.biz/pub/GPG/) that would be available to any
   client on the network. Now we will use a routine to import those keys and
   so we can install available packages via Spacewalk.


[root@node1 ~]# for b in $(curl http://spacewalk.network.biz/pub/GPG/|cut
-d”=” -f5|cut -d”\”” -f2|grep -v -E ‘(^$|^.*<|^.*/|^.*;.*)’); do cd
/etc/pki/rpm-gpg;wget -nc http://spacewalk.network.biz/pub/GPG/$b;rpm
--import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/$b; done 2>/dev/null

Take care here! The previous command can be placed at the end of
bootstrap.sh file, which is located in Spacewalk server. Then, every time a
machine is registered via bootstrap.sh it will automatically receive the
keys of all channels.

If the installation was performed via Kickstart, the keys are automatically
imported, so the execution of the previous command is not necessary. To
check which keys are installed on the registered server, run the next
command:

[root@node1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep gpg-pubkey
gpg-pubkey-863a853d-4f55f54d
gpg-pubkey-c105b9de-4e0fd3a3
gpg-pubkey-c431416d-3db4c821
gpg-pubkey-0608b895-4bd22942
[root@node1 ~]#


You can find this trick and much more here [1]

Hope this helps.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] install packages when migrating from oracle to postgres

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello

That said, I believe you can do a fresh installation pointing to your
external db, and after that, just restore using db-control.

Everything should work as expected.

Sorry, didn't get time to check the wiki yet.

1. Do an online backup from your current installation
2. Install the fresh one using embedded db (PG) "I believe you are planning
to use embedded". SW in the same version as the original
3. Restore the DB using db-control

After that, you should be able to see the entire content and your SW should
be working fine. After that, just the upgrade process as usual.

Ps.: I'll take a look on the link ASAP.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] how do people deal with gpg keys?

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Matz

You can pick up the GPG when using provisioning (cobbler), however, if the
machine is already installed, you can use the bootstrap.sh script to call
any url and install automatically all gpg you need, after that, the package
installation will work smooth.

Please let us know if you have any question

Hello Juan

I believe more details will help the team to help you :-)

For example, are you seeing issues on the log? What steps are you doing?
How are you testing?

So, for sure someone will be able to move forward with you. At this moment,
the info is a little bit *vague*

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.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] repo sync question

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Jen

I'm a little bit curious about why you would like to change the path. You
can proceed as our friend Dimitri added.

About resources, you can find info on the mail list archives [1] or this
book [2].

Just to let you know, SW will be able to create the complete filesystem
struct in order to keep the organization sweet.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] How to resolve Spacewalk Crash!

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello

Cool. Just have in mind, a bunch of packages was removed, then now looks
like everything is working but you can face some issues on the future
*weird issues*, remember, this could be the root cause.

The best approach, in this case, to guarantee everything is fine should be
or VM snapshot or SW backup using db-control.

Have a good one.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] RHEL 7 - Spacewalk

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello folks

Please check this information

https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2014-December/msg00234.html

@Andrei I'm checking internally *Red Hat* to confirm if something changed
and I'm not aware but I believe the info on the link above still valid.

I'll keep you all on track.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] How to use external repos with Spacewalk and keep the standard repos on clients

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Markus, good morning

I'll try to help with some points.

1. Actually there isn't this feature on SW/Satellite 5 as well, btw in the
foreman project we use OnDemand to repository, then is exactly what you are
saying *download metadata and provide the info*, then when client request
data, this will be downloaded. Maybe someone have another idea on SW but by
default I believe be able.

2. I'm not sure if I follow you here ..., maybe a better description should
be fine btw your customer should not be able to install directly from your
SW server ? when you say *We have
people who are on the road sometimes and they wouldn't be able to install
anything without company network connection* so ... *nearby mirror* should
be from your SW/Proxies I believe.

Hope the info above help you. Please let us know more about item 2 then we
can think about.

Best

Hello all

Please take a look here

I didn't see the link you sent btw I did this post a few weeks ago, then
probably will works for you. If you got the difference let's just update on

Re: [Spacewalk-list] switch organizations

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Tom

Yea, this is the unique way on Spacewalk.

On the Foreman *upstream of Satellite 6* you can do it once you have
permission on the another organization, then just switch via webUI as you
are talking about.

Hope this help.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Client software update (download package from spacewalk server)

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello J,


A lot of interesting infos here, then you can

  - Check it via spacecmd
  - Check via api *I believe there is any call that will show you the info*
  - Check via spacewalk-report
  - Forcing this configuration via Configuration Channel *here you can
create one script and deploy on your /etc/cron.d or /etc/cron.weekly*
  - and much more :-)

Enjoy

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Client software update (download package from spacewalk server)

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello J

Good to know everything is ok.

Sorry, I didn't follow your question *Is there still a way to check it on
the client, like logs or so???*

Btw to all CentOS machines you can remove the files by default when
registering on the SW, then will be available / visible just the SW repos.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Client software update (download package from spacewalk server)

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Jérome

You can remove *or just move* the standard .repo files from
/etc/yum.repos.d to another directory, after register on the Spacewalk, the
client will manage this repos, you can enable/disable via cli or just via
webUI *Spacewalk*

Let us know if you have any additional question.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] [spacewalk-list] Issue with creating Distributions

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello

You can always check logs on /var/log/rhn, everything related to Spacewalk
will be there.

Another places
 - /var/log/tomcat6/*
 - /var/log/httpd/*
 - /var/log/messages

Hope this help.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] DIsk usage and limiting number of instances of a package

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello folks, good morning

I'll check the code asap, but I would like to share some tricks. If you are
looking for some improvement, feel free to access the link [1] or just
access the project link [2] and then click on Issues tab, after that just
clock on New Issue and describe the problem. The owner of this project will
receive the request and all guys who will work with this code will be able
to help on this improvement.

Welcome to the opensource. :)

Another trick to claim storage is run vacuum on the postgres db just to
reorder the db and shrink when necessary. Basically when you sync some
repos, the data file *from DB* will increase, when you delete the data from
db, the data file still with the same size.

I'll update one new post about the installation on 2.8 *because some steps
changed* btw the concept / workflow still the same, then how to manage,
what is the base channel, child channel, administration tasks, reports,
configuration, etc still the same.

This was the book idea.

Hope you enjoy it.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Dynamic Groups?

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Guy

Could you explain more *in details* what is your real necessity ?

I believe you can *automate* your SW/Internal features in different ways,
for example, using
 - API
 - space_cmd
 - spacewalk-api

But is not clear to me what is your real necessity just to recommend the
best way to you move forward.

Have a good one.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Kickstart through Spacewalk Proxy

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Folks, good morning

The link above will show you some pieces of the installation, I really
recommend you all this link [1], one complete guide with all information
compiled. Another great research point is for sure our maillist
history/archive

Please let us know if you have any additional question or concern.

Ps.: Probably I'll update my blog with some news/tips about SW but I need
more time to do that. :)

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk capability question

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello all

About OSAd, only if you would like to execute the command like *real time*,
by default clients will pull the information from SW Server every 4h *the
minimum to be configured is 1h*.

You can use the SSM to do that and will be necessary install some packages
on the client side just to enable the remote execution and another
features. You will be able to find all information on the list history or
here [1]

Please let us know if you have any additional question or concern.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk yum repositories question

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Felipe, good morning

I believe the best approach here should be configure your SW as the repo
master and just retire the another server *actually used as your yum update
server*. The configuration is easy/simple.

You will be able to use a lot of features at the same server as
configuration server, reports, etc.

Please let us know if you have any additional question.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Katello and Spacewalk

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Folks, good morning

Red Hat work with Product and Project, so for each Product there is one
Project, for example

Red Hat Enterprise Linux == Fedora
Satellite 5 == SpaceWalk
Cloudforms == ManageIQ

Talking about Satellite 6, there are a lot of projects related *Foreman,
Katello, Candlepin, Puppet, Pulp, etc* and according the last comment,
there isn't one single project that will include all of them. Actually you
can implement/combine manually just following the upstream docs.

// Good place to start.
http://theforeman.org/

// Great references
https://community.redhat.com/software/
https://developers.redhat.com/projects/


Hope the info above help, please let me know if you have any additional
question.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Transition of data from Spacewalk to Red Hat Satellite 6

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Shisheer, good morning

I believe you are looking for this tool -
https://github.com/Katello/katello-client-bootstrap

I'm not sure if you are or not using Satellite in your environment, one
time you confirm, on the sequence you say not * we are not currently using
Spacewalk instead of Red Hat Satellite server to manage our servers*.

Btw about your Satellite 6, my advice is up your version, we are in 6.2.9
right now and will improve a lot your environment.

Another way should be just create one script to

- Install the Satellite Cert
- Register your content host on Sat6 via AK
- Remove the systemid *referent to SW/Satellite5*

That's it., all machines will be registered on the Sat6 server.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Change /var/satellite

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Chris

Once your installation is running, you could

1. Add one additional disk and mount the new file system on /var/satellite
*will be necessary copy the content of the actual /var/satellite)
or
2. Create one symlink to /var/satellite and just copy the files/structure
to your new dir
or
To change the path in the conf file, should works but I'm not sure if you
will face issue in any SW module.

Take Care.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Where are Spacewalk logs when applying patches?

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hi Chris

OSAd is part of SW, then you can say yes, SW could be real time talking
about client execution / installation / etc, btw will be necessary install
/ configure the packages. By default, rhn will be 240 min, you can decrease
to 60 min.

Have a good one.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Where are Spacewalk logs when applying patches?

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hi Chris

This is the SW architecture, by default, all clients will check what is
pending in cycle of 240 min *4h* by default, you could decrease to 60 min /
1h *minimum value* */etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn*, just grep 240,
then if you did some schedule and your client still with default conf, only
after 4h or just if you execute rhn_check in your machine.

As our friend told, OSAd is one good solution, because will be real time,
when you submit, jabber will send one broadcast and then your machine will
receive / execute the task.

Please, feel free to check our documentation on link [1] or just this book
[2], here you will find all answers to your questions, via cli and/or webUI
*osad, client configuration, schedule, tasks and much more*

Have a good one.

Hi

Yes, should be, if you schedule/submit the new installation or errata via
webUI, the task should be on pending state *schedule tab* until be

Re: [Spacewalk-list] telling Spacewalk a server doesn't need specific packages

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Elizabeth,

I believe you could do according the Michael advice, another option could
be create one config channel and there deploy the yum conf file with all
packages that you need exclude.

In my humble opinion, the first one will be better, you could create the
new channel using spacewalk-clone-by-date.

Best Regards

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk server disk full - how to clean up via CLI?

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hi Chris,

To complete, you could execute steps below

# su - postgres
$ vacuumdb -af

This one will check / reorganize your db datafile and then you will claim
more disk space.

PS: Do one df -P before and after, then compare the result.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Adding GPG keys to the channel

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Daryl

Another good way to share this info to your machines should be creating one
folder inside your pub, like http://spacewalk/pub/GPG and put your GPG's
there, if you are using bootstrap.sh to register your machines, only add
one script to collect all files from that url and install the keys on the
machine, like

# rpm --import http://spacewalk/pub/GPG/RPM-GPG-KEY-ZABBIX

The best way should be you list all files from the URL and then install in
your machine, the same process will be used to new machines provisioned via
SW, on the kickstart you could just add the same line and everything will
works fine.

I wrote one SW book just to share this kind of information, one complete
workflow, since installation until to the end, covering management,
registration, administrative tasks, etc, feel free to check here [1].

Let me know if you have any additional question.

Have a good one.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Channel subscription question

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hi Chris, good morning

There are some points here, so if you create one Base channel / Child
channel and this one is connected to your repository, you could or not use
this channel to your machines, the point is, if you define the sync *for
example* daily, every day probably you will receive one new package and
this one will be available to all machines registered on the base channel /
child channel.

Another approach should be you create one Base channel / Child channel that
will receive packages daily and create one locked channel *base and child*,
the difference is, you will control when new packages will be on the locked
channel *imho this should be the best approach because you knows in fact
what you have there*. The clone you could do via webUI or just via cli
*spacewalk-clone-by-date*.

About register your machines and see all child channels, will be according
the way that you are registering, for example, if you create Activation
Keys to register, there you will be able to define the Base channel and all
child channels that you would like to enable by default. If you register
manually you could enable / disable repos.

There are a lot of emails on thread [1] saying how to do this workflow and
I wrote one book just to share this kind of information, one complete
workflow, since installation until the end, covering management,

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk workflow

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hi Soham

To create, you could do it via webUI "clone channel feature", sorry I'm off
my SW lab now to send step by step, or just via spacewalk-clone-by-date,
just type man spacewalk-clone-by-date and you will see all flags available.

About move between channels, you could do via webUI or cli, BUT the best
approach could be

Let's imagine the scenario below, in my Prod env I've one CentOS 7.3 with 2
weeks without update with all applications that I use in my company, then I
could create another machine in my Dev environment, same packages installed
at the same version *feel free to use Stored Profile to create this dev
machine*, then update the dev environment *via webUI or
spacewalk-clone-by-date* and then update the machine, now do all necessary
tests in your dev machine. At the end of the day, if everything still
working, we could conclude if you update your prod environment, the result
will be the same *or at least similar*.

Prod Environment
 - CentOS 7.3 *update from 2 weeks ago*

DEV
 - CentOS 7.3 *up to date*

Let me know if you have any additional question.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Rhel 7 base repo

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hi Shisheer

Lol, this was my first response, then I rewrite after see your *pull out*
:), anyway you could update your base channel or if you are using locked
channels, just update the base channel and in the sequence update the
locked channel *via webUI or via spacewalk-clone-by-date*.

You will find all infos on the book or on the history.

Let me know if works for you.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Rhel 7 base repo

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hi Shisheer, good morning

If I got your point, you would like to remove some packages from the newly
registered machines, there are diff ways to do that, you could do one
remote execution or just via webUI, where you will select the package and
will remove from the computer *on this case will be necessary install one
client / agent in your clients*.

Another great feature should be *Stored Profile* like there is one profile
*all packages that you would like to be installed in your new machine* then
after register a new one, you could compare with that stored profile and
just say *be similar*, then Spacewalk will install/remove/upgrade/downgrade
packages on the computer just to be the same as the Stored Profile.

You will be able to find on the list history all steps to do that btw I
wrote this book with all steps necessary to implement one similar behavior.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Base vs. Child channels

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Chris, good morning

You can check via webUI if there are erratas in your channels *base and
child channel*, if yes, you will be able to reach all of them. Talking
about locked channel, when you clone *via webUI or spacewalk-clone-by-date*
you can or cannot add erratas, so again, take a look via webUI and you will
be able to see if there are or not erratas on the environment that you are
working.

Let me know if you have any additional question or concern.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk workflow

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Soham, good morning

This subject is relevant by the way there isn't one rule like. Normally who
define the often is the IT guys + security team. I got diff situations like
below
 - Companies that didn't apply erratas, just keep the OS running after
installed
 - Companies that apply relevant errata to that server, for example,
application servers, everything related to webserver / apache / ssl will be
checked
 - Companies that apply all erratas by month, week or quarter.

So again, will be according your necessity / company compliance.

It's one best practice you prepare diff environments just to *test* the new
packages, for example, dev and prod, there are servers in prod environment
*locked channels* and you would like to update this one, before you could
update the dev environment *locked channels* adding the new packages and
testing your machines on that locked channel, if all tests pass, you can
assume the promotion to the production environment will be smooth.

To do this *update* on locked channel, when talking about the SW we will do
via spacewalk-clone-by-date, then feel free to use the link below as
reference
 - https://access.redhat.com/articles/3078

On the link below you will find more information about SW workflow

[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk Book in English available

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello all, good morning

In 2015 I wrote the Spacewalk book but only in my native language
*Portuguese from Brasil*, and after some requests I started the process to
prepare the English version, as some friends here know, I'm working on Red
Hat *actually with Satellite 5 and Satellite 6* then the time to work on it
increase A LOT but always thinking *I need to conclude this project, the
English version book*.

Today I'm very proud and happy to say, the book is already ready and
available at Amazon

The idea of this book is share a lot of tricks and best practices about
implementation, management and a lot of another stuffs, hope this book help
you all in your implementations.

Feel free to send me email *via maillist or directly* in case of doubt or
feedback about the book.

Wish you all one amazing day / week.

Just one attention point, I believe the correct repo name is
*rhel-7-server-rpms*, maybe only update this one will help you on your

Not only support, there are another points in the product *which you don't
have to do manually* and a lot of another benefits, like knowledge base,
support 24x7, etc etc etc

Nops, as you said, you will see only your RHEL which you have installed the
SW, all machines registered on SW will not be visible via webUI / access
portal. Will be available via Spacewalk webUI only.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] RedHat Subscriptions Management deploying Spacewalk

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Rosario

I'll share another points to you and on sequence I'll answer your questions.

Let's imagine the scenario, you have 100 rhel servers and you would like to
register / update all of them, when talking about Satellite, will be
necessary one addon named *smart management* and you have to pay for this
to all your servers although when talking about SW this one come with the
project, then, will be possible to you register 100 rhel's in your SW
without problem, on this scenario you will be compliance., now let's
imagine, you have 100 rhel subscriptions but you will register 200, you can
register one huge number of clients on your SW without problem, but the
point is, if you have 100 rhel subscription, you should register on your SW
only 100, if you need 200, should be necessary by +100 subscriptions.
Technically talking you will not be blocked from SW to register new
clients, this is only one legal term that you need take care, if you read
the contract, you will see, you can use RHN, Satellite or another way to
keep your environment up to date, there isn't restriction BUT the number of
subscription is one limiter.

That said, you can download your rhel 6.8 or rhel 7.3 packages for example,
create one base channel on your satellite and just upload all packages,
after this will be possible define this base channel to your client and
voilá, you will be able to reach packages from SW. Remember, to keep
erratas up to date, will be necessary do additional steps. To sync
different versions of rhel in your SW will be necessary additional scripts
or diff ways to download and then upload in your SW.



- Without Spacewalk, on my RedHat account I can see all the hosts
registered on RHN belonging to that account. They are supported by RedHat
under the SLA described in the contract service, aren’t they?
A: Yeap, if you have one subscription with a valid status, sure, you can
just open a new case and Red Hat will help you.

- With Spacewalk (deployed on a RedHat registered host), will I see only
the Spacewalk server registered on my RedHat Account?
A: Independent of product installed in your rhel, you will be able to see
the server via webUI / customer portal.

- How can I manage all other hosts?
A: This management will be via SW

- Are they under the RedHat support as without the Spacewalk deployment?
A: As I told you, if you have 100 subsc and you are using SW just to
manager your environments, doesn't matter, you can ask for support to all
of them, now if you need Spacewalk support, this one will not be supported
by Red Hat.


I believe now be clear. :-)

Let me know if you have any additional question.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] RedHat Subscriptions Management deploying Spacewalk

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Rosario, good morning

Well, you can do this configuration for your environment btw I would like
to share some points with you. Using SW you can register your RHEL clients
and manage everything although will be necessary sync the rpm packages /
repositories from Red Hat and add this one on your Satellite. There are
some scripts to do this action or you could create your own scripts, I
believe you can find on our history.

Once you said *I’ve the subscriptions for all my RedHat hosts* I believe
you have *smart management addon* to all your RHEL servers, that's correct
? If yes, I really recommend you align with your red hat sales just to
check the Satellite subscription. Why ? the answer is simple, using
Satellite, there are a lot of steps that satellite will do for you, like
sync red hat repos and erratas will be *automatically* without necessity to
do manually, when talking about SW, you can do this but will be necessary
implement some or some time a lot of scripts / execute some steps manually.

I wrote one book about SW and there you can find some points about your
questions *
http://www.brasport.com.br/informatica-e-tecnologia/linux/spacewalk-o-projeto-do-red-hat-satellite/*,
in one month or less will be available the English version.

Let me know if you have any additional question about it.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Anyone using distribution mapping for custom channels?

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hi Judd

You can do this via 2 ways

One should be syncing the specific version, for example, about CentOS

http://vault.centos.org/6.6/os/x86_64/ <== your repo pointing to 6.6

http://vault.centos.org/6.1/os/x86_64/ <== your repo pointing to 6.1

Another way and if you have the entire packages in remote repo, should be
using spacewalk-clone-by-date. You can define one specific date and clone
it.

Take a look on this link - https://access.redhat.com/articles/3078

Using Red Hat Enterprise Linux as example, we can create one channel to
rhel 6.6 with or without errata, so the rhel6.6 with all erratas will be
one day before the release of rhel6.7 (2015-07-21) and rhel6.6 without
errata will be (2014-10-14)

Let me know if it's clear to you.

Best Regards

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Config file removal

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Ok

I see, the actual behavior is expected (if you remove from conf channel
will not change in the client side).

What you can do is:

1. Create one smart script that can do this one for you in the client side,
you can deploy in /etc/cron.hour for example and in the next cycle will be
executed.

or

2. Another way should be using puppet, via puppet you can define for
example "ensure" for present or absent, so you will prepare all you need in
manifest and then just deploy to your clients, if you add something, your
client can add it, if you remove something, your client can remove it.

Make sense ?

Let me know if you have any doubt about it.

Hi Judd, good morning

When you say "custom point release channel", are you means Minor relesae ?!
like CentOS 6.5, 6.6., 6.7 ...

Could you share with us your problem / doubt ?!

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Config file removal

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hi Mark

Yes, if you do any change in the conf channel, this one will reflect to all
subscribed machines, btw if you remove the client from the conf channel,
that machine will not receive anymore the new configuration and the actual
configuration in the client will not be removed or changed.

Hope this help.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Hang a specific version of CentOS

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Olivier

You can do as our friend told you, using vault and if you are getting some
update here, you *can* update, in fact, will update some packages although
will keep your OS in that specific release.

Another way is use spacewalk-clone-by-date and then you can specify one
date.

Use the link below to see the release dates and then you can use this one
as reference.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Application can't install after registration

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Tomas

If you are using kickstart, you should import the GPG key and select this
one to be part of your kickstart, so after machine be provisioned,
Spacewalk will force the gpg key deploy and when you try to install the new
package, will works like a charm.

When doing executing the Ak in one existing machine, you should import the
key, one great way should you share your keys (/var/www/htmp/pub/gpg-keys
for example) and if you are using bootstrap.sh to register, just add one
line to check the url and the install the key (rpm --import ) and then everything should works.

Let me know if you have doubt of how to proceed about this one.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] RHN channel into spacewalk

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Harshal, good morning

Yes, you can sync and share the packages to your RHEL servers in your
environment, below some attention points:

1. You need one valid subscription to download the packages
2. You must update only the machine that you have subscription to be in
compliance. For example, you have 10 subscription, so you can use your
Satellite to keep your 10 machines uptodate. Now let's imagine, you have 10
subscriptions but now you have installed 100 RHEL servers, if you are
updating just 10 servers you are in compliance, if you are updating 11 or
up to 100, you are not in compliance, you should buy more subscription to
that.

The main point here is, yes, you can use Spacewalk to keep your environment
up to date, btw you can not update more systems that you have a valid
subscription.

That's it.

Let me know if you have any doubt about this one.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] EPEL 7 reposync issue

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Olivier, good morning

I can see you have repo locally, the structure is not a big trouble,
because you still having the metadata in repodata dir.

I did one test in my lab

###
[root@deskx packs]# find .

./b
./b/backupninja-1.0.1-5.el7.noarch.rpm
./a
./a/AntTweakBar-devel-1.16-2.el7.x86_64.rpm

[root@deskx packs]# createrepo .

[root@deskx packs]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/local.repo

[root@deskx packs]#


[root@deskx packs]# yum repolist

[root@deskx packs]#
###

So if you can see 3 packages here, your repo is really totally operational
(structure, metadata, etc), the next step is configure in SW to do a sync,
there will be necessary just pay attention in the channel that you are
creating a relationship with the repo (arch mistakes is very common), btw,
my advice is, first point your machine to your local repo and check if you
will see all packages by "yum grouplist" command for example, if yes, you
can check your configuration in SW (repos, channels).

Let me know if works for you.

Take care

Hello Daryl. good morning

System Set Manager is a feature to do a action in a group of machines ..,
you can use your system group or select individually for example, so you
will be able to apply or remove package, join a group, execute remote
command, etc .., take a look in SSM and verify all options and have in
mind, everything there will be possible to do with a single server or a
group of machines (1 server or 1000 servers, single way).

Hope you enjoy!

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Snapshot packages

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hi Rodrigo

I believe the stored profile will do what you need.

About packages, normally you add packages in your frozen channel, base or
child (erratas, update, etc), so at this moment you have the actual package
and the new package. If you need roolback will works fine.

Let me know if works

 But, I have a problem. On my environment test, I did a snapshot and I

 was yum-3.2.29-22.el6.centos.noarch. Now, after update the package, a
 version is yum-3.2.29-60.el6.centos.noarch.

 When I try to do the rollback, this error happen:

 Client execution returned Error while executing packages action: Cannot

 repositories. [[6]] (code -1).

 I want to know if I need to create a channel for old packages. On Red Hat
 documentation, I found one note:

 While snapshot rollbacks support the ability to revert *certain* changes
 to the system, this is not applicable to every scenario. For example, you
 can roll back a set of RPM packages, but rolling back across multiple
 update levels is not supported.


 Maybe, I wnant to do something that is not possible.

I believe the best way should be open a new BZ and describe your idea

Change parts of SW is possible, in fact yes, but when you get

Do you know how to open BZ (bugzilla) ?!

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Registering Offline servers to Spacewalk

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Jason,

You can add a repo in /var/www/html/pub/centos/repo for example, here you
can reach with your clients by http://SW/pub/centos/repo, so in your
script, you can do the steps below:

1. Add a local repo pointing to public repo in your SW
2. Install all packages necessary
3. Download the bootstrap.sh
4. Changing according your necessity and registering the client

If you have a shared key (ssh) between your servers, you can just create a
script in a NFS share for example and just execute a remote command to run
the script.

Let me know if you have any doubt about this implementation.

Take Care

 Good morning, Jason, et al.



 To register an existing server, you’ll need to install the Spacewalk
 client tools  libraries first.  That’ll extend the capabilities of yum (or
 the appropriate update manager,) to communicate with a Spacewalk service.
 Once that’s done, you’ll need to run /usr/sbin/rhn_register,
 /usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks or the bootstrap script (bootstrap runs rhnreg_ks
 internally.)



 The registration script normally gets generated into
 /var/www/html/pub/bootstrap.



 The bootstrap script does perform some other activities, such as a full
 system update (through yum, zypper, etc.,) downloading SSL certs, and so
 forth.  You might want to run it, you also might want to manually register
 your clients, depending on your local requirements.

 Hi Marino,

  I have add the spacewalk repo as a child for my base channels, but I am
 dealing with the initial implementation of spacewalk in

 applicable.



 Can you explain a little more about the registration script? Where is it
 exactly and how could i modify it as you are suggesting to register
 existing servers?


 Thank you,

 Jason



 ___

 I always include the spacewalk clients in a child repo of my base channels
 then include it in my kickstarts. Then I can view the kickstart and pick
 out the URI‎ yum has an option to install using an adhock yumrepo. Also you
 may not be aware of this but spacewalk generates a boilerplate registration
 script for you in the public directory for apache you can use as a template
 to modify into your own custom registration script.

 Additionally yum and the rpm command can install packages over a network
 by specifying the URI as the package name.

 The only way I could do this was to do the following below by creating a

 Is there any easier way to do this? I would think spacewalk would have an

will work fine. After this you can apply the new patchs (tested in homolog
channel) in the production / frozen channel.

Let me know if was clear.

Have a great day.

  Greetings Spacewalkers,



 I have a process question for you.  Here’s the setup:



 You have your systems setup in Spacewalk and subscribed to channels that
 are frozen in time, e.g.  some systems are subscribed the channels with all
 the Q2 patches and updates.  Other systems may still be subscribed to the
 Q1 patches and updates.  You have your latest channels that are sync’d with
 the vendor’s latest offerings but no systems are subscribed to these
 “latest” channels.



 Let’s say a vendor (Redhat, Oracle, etc) releases a critical bug fix patch
 to their “latest” channel.   Let’s say you want to deploy this critical bug
 fix asap – even though it is out of step with your quarterly patching
 cycle.   You have a system that is subscribed to a channel tree that is
 frozen in time, for example a system is subscribed to your Q2 patches.
 You’re not ready to update everything yet but you do want this one critical
 bug fix patch (and any dependencies) to be made available to this system.



 How do you go about handling this type of situation?



 Thanks,



 Larry

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Question regarding SLES RHEL clients registered to Spacewalk

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Just to complement

About RHEL you can download and use the SW to manager in your servers,
pay attention in your quantity, if you have 10 subscriptions, you may
support only 10 servers.

Have a great day!

 Hello Jason,

 About your first question, I'm not sure about SLES, btw if you have 10
 subscriptions or licenses (i don't know if SLES subscribe as license)
 and download the packages to update only 10 servers, you are in
 compliance, if you download from site or use another automated system
 to do it, doesn't matter but if you have 10 subscriptions and are
 updating 11 servers, you are not compliance, will be necessary by +1
 subscription or license.

 Imagine the scenario, 10 subscription and 100 servers! This is the problem.

 Check with your sales vendor, they will give you the correct answer
 for your scenario.

 Hi All,
  As I am testing spacewalk in our environment which includes SLES and RHEL,
 I came to some questions regarding the risks we face with regard to support
 which I hope the community could assist me with.

 1. Does anyone currently use Spacewalk to manage SLES or RHEL servers in
 their environment. Have you encountered any issues where it invalidated your
 support?

 2. According to SuSE/Novell Support they mentioned to me that Spacewalk is
 not a supported tool to download  manage packages, so essentially it would
 invalidate the support. This would be true even if i used SMT to download
 the package and push them into Spacewalk. On the other hand they would try
 to still provide support, but if in the case that we install 3rd party RPM's
 that is the cause of issue, they would not be able to support the system.
 Does anyone know what specific packages  dependencies would be installed or
 modified?

 3. I only see steps to register OpenSuSE clients and not SLES on this page
 https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/RegisteringClients Are there steps
 for SLES?

 4. Is there a way to register a SLES server to Spacewalk without getting
 packages from openSuSE?

 Thank you,
 Jason

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Rhnpush error

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Jason

My recommendation is you configure epel as a repository / child
channel and leave the SW sync automatically for you, btw about your
question, check if you have the file in this path and / or the file
name.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Question regarding SLES RHEL clients registered to Spacewalk

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Ok

I'll talk from Red Hat, you will be in compliance using SW to
distribute your packages (attention only in the subscription
quantity).

About packages, you can distribute for example in your SW softwares
from vmware, zabbix, epel, etc, so the Red Hat company will not
support you in 3d packages or in modified packages. This is the point.

Imagine, you install the vmware tools and would like support in that
package, the red hat will not support you, even though, if you need
support in the OS, will be the same support as before install 3d
softwares.

Let me know if was clear.

 Hi Waldirio,

  Actually my question is not about Licensing, it's really about Vendor
 Support. For Licensing we do not have any issues.

 I am more concerned about using 3rd party packages here. I'd like to know if
 anyone who gets support from RedHat, Novell, Canonical, etc, if they use
 spacewalk to manage their servers, do they ever run into an issue where a
 package conflicts from the vendor causing a support issue?

 I am overall trying to understand the risks associated with using Spacewalk
 in terms of Support Agreements.

Just to complement, sample bellow

I selected in specific KS the flags:
- Log custom post scripts: (If selected, all output of custom post
scripts will be logged to /root/ks-post.log.)
- Log custom pre scripts: (If selected, all output of pre scripts will
be logged to /root/ks-pre.log.)
- Preserve ks.cfg: (If selected, ks.cfg and all %include fragments
will be copied to /root.)

After boot, what I've

 Is there anything in the reposync log? /var/log/rhn/reposync

 Did you link the repository with the channel and did you set up a sync

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Managing RHEL 6/7 systems with spacewalk

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Dear Michael, good morning

If you have subscription enable in RHN, you may check the RHN
Satellite with your redhat sales (if you don't have satellite
subscription), the difference is, when using Spacewalk, you need
prepare the environment to receive all packages, erratas, etc, using
already scripts or creating your own scripts. When using RHN
Satellite, you have all ready to you, will be necessary just inform
what base channel you would like to sync and that's it (RHEL6 and
RHEL7 with all child channel you think be necessary).

Let me know if I can help you.

Hello Friends

Bernhard, you are right. You can use SW or another tool to manager
your RHEL environment, the unique point is, if you have 10 active
subscription for example, you can delivery just to 10 servers, after
this you will be not in compliance.

 For RHEL 6 I'm sure you can use spacewalk. And I think RHEL 7 will also be 
 fine, technically speaking.

 BUT when you search this list's archive, you will find some different 
 opinions about the license terms when using spacewalk with RHEL clients.
 IMHO using spacewalk is ok as long you have enough valid licenses for every 
 server's OS.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Getting the Groups Comps File With Repo Sync

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Alan, good morning

You can check the server logs to get more detail, but what you can do
without stress is remove the base channel and recreate again, maybe
some error during download or .., need check the system.

Doing this, you will guarantee if the problem is in your SW or in the
source packages (normally not).

Ps.: Normally you don't need update or change files inside these
structure manually, the SW daemon will manager it for you.

Humm

You can fix it, migrating your CentOS to RHEL :-)

If you are running over any hypervisor, you can subscribe your
hypervisors using datacenter subscription, with unlimited guests, so
you will migrate all of them without problem and better, all
environment will be supported by redhat / satellite.

I really don't know your environment, so you can talk with your redhat
sales person (they will for sure help you) or send me a email
(waldi...@redhat.com) and I'll help you.

Have a great day!

 But that would mean a Satellite server for the RHEL systems and Spacewalk

 Michael,



 Not to my knowledge.  For official RHEL boxes, I think the answer you are
 looking for is a product known as Red Hat Satellite Server.



 Satellite server then will 'talk to' the official Red Hat repos, pull down
 errata into your own local channels (yum repos).

Hello Dhaval

To fix, import the gpg key to your system.

Check in the url where you are getting the package, you will find the GPG
file, download the same to your machine, for example /tmp/GPG-file

after, rpm --import /tmp/GPG-file

Try again the installation process.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Cloning channel from script

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello All

Darryl, my recommendation is use spacewalk-clone-by-date, you have two
ways, the first one is define all parameters in a single line beautiful,
the second and I really prefer, is create a template, you will execute the
command spacewalk-clone-by-date using the flag -m

###
-m --sample-config
Generate a sample configuration file
###

So you will define all that you would like in your channels (base, child,
dates, etc) and execute the command again with flag -c

###
-c FILE, --config=FILE
Configuration file holding parameters, see --sample-config for an
example.Any command-line parameters override those in specified config file.
###

Enjoy

 that were on the distribution ISO and it looks like there’s some hidden

 package published at the time of release, no updates.



 If you want to clone a channel and all the errata, you’re probably better
 off looking at spacewalk-clone-by-date.  You can provide a date to clone
 errata up to, and you can clone channels that aren’t part of the ISO (like
 rhn-tools).



 The syntax is pretty simple spacewalk-clone-by-date –l RHT-channel
 my-channel –d DATE is the basics, and you can automate it with a config
 file (-m will print a sample file).  I wrote about using the tool for

 Then once I make the clone the GUI shows no errata in the new channel

 I would like to just say the latest update and see the errata attached to
 the clone. Anyone have any thoughts?

 for me. Any clues on how to do this will be much appreciated.

 I initially registered clients, and they showed up in the GUI.  Shortly
 thereafter they went to inactive.  I attempted to reregister one of the

  Anyone have same problem with me when registering spacewalk clients
  using centos7? `yum install osad` commands give the output like this :

   You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
   You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Get pending action status in API

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Franky,

I'm out of my SW now, but you can use API (need check in fact) or via
spacecmd (I believe be possible here)., Have you checked ?!

 Hi,

 in the API I can get a list of system events, or a list of scheduled
 actions (in progress, completed or failed), but for a rescheduled
 action I don't seem to find a reliable way of determining the status
 if it is pending.
 The web interface can show the oending status (or queued') just fine,
 but for now I need to check for pickup_date for an action via the
 API (and can then decide it is pending if the pickup_date value is
 not present or empty), but even that has a value for a rescheduled
 action already ...
 So: any tips on how to get the correct status for pending actions?
