It was a little interesting but I would have liked to have heard about integration plans for OpenStack since it was mentioned and that it seems to be the new cloud platform of choice. On a side note expect RFE's from me soon for Spacewalk OpenStack integration I'm currently testing OpenStack Folso

[Spacewalk-list] looking for kernel mangement recommendations

2012-12-19 Thread Snyder, Chris
Am looking for suggestions for how to manage RHEL5 kernel updates with Spacewalk. My team has a small set of REHL5 hosts (<30) that we've been simply managing updates via our own local internal repos and manual execution of yum when needed. Our internal repos are generated via mrepo and consist

Hi, I am in the processing of setting up a new Spacewalk server for my RHEL machines. My current server is scheduled to be retired sometime in 2013. I am running RHEL6.3 and using Spacewalk 1.7. On my current machine, I run get_errata.pl. It works, but it's really slow. On my new machine, I wou

As a side note I have a user created specifically for submitting variables which is restricted to only Configuration Management. Helps reduce the security risk. And no, that is not my satellite password nor the password for the submission user, for anyone wondering. On 12/19/2012 12:38 AM, Pi

2012-12-19 Thread Pierre Casenove
Thanks for the idea. As I don't like spreading scripts on clients with login/password, I'll try to do the same from the server (searching for systems without the custom key set, and setting it if empty) Thanks 2012/12/19 Jason M. Nielsen > Submit a custom system info variable back to the host

Re: [Spacewalk-list] RHN macro to get short hostname

2012-12-19 Thread Jason M. Nielsen
Submit a custom system info variable back to the host profile and use that in the config file. I have a bash script that runs during a build that generates the values for variables then submits them back with a python script. ie: #!/bin/bash /root/bin/submit_custom_system_info.py hostname_sh

Thanks a lot you the answers. As the spacewalk server doesn't have access to the internet without the authenticated proxy, it's kind of a no go. If I have time, I'll try to work on your scruipt to get it proxy compatible. Pierre 2012/12/19 Paul Robert Marino > On Tue, Dec 18, 2012 at 2:10 AM,
