So it looks like its a bit more. Under the activation key I had to mark provision and deploy configuration files. Then I do rhncfg-client get in a post script. Successfully works now. Thanks, Charlie On Fri, Sep 7, 2012 at 5:10 PM, Giovanni Torres wrote: > > > > To: spacewalk-list@redhat.com >

Hi, Is there anyway to deploy configuration files on a kickstart deploy? I have a base config channel that I would like to deploy when the server is first setup, and I would like to eliminate the need to have to go back and deploy the files. The server seems to be ready to deploy files to, I jus

Hi List, I am at work moving my hosts over to using spacewalk to pick up updates, and use for their software repositories. My question is how exactly does the yum rhn plugin work? 1.) Does the yum rhn plugin dissallow the server from using the default repo's found in /etc/yum.repos.d? 2.) I assum

I assume your talking about the spacewalk client? If you are, doing as you suggested is just that simple. I have done this a few times, and I remove all things spacewalk. rpm -qa |grep spacewalk This will get you all the spacewalk specific stuff. Replace spacewalk with osad if you have that part

Hey All, I quick suggestion for the project. When updates are running, is there a way we could update spacewalk webui with something like a 'running' icon next to the server in question. From what I can tell, it will go from 'scheduled' to 'updates available' to 'failed' or 'updated'. I have had

Nevermind, found a different solution. Just specifying the networking in kernel options under xenserver and booting a netinstall iso seems to do the job vs rolling a different iso. Thanks, Charlie On Tue, Jul 17, 2012 at 3:53 PM, visinix the great wrote: > Also, here is my 'cobbl

Hi Team, Question #1 I was wondering if there is any /current/ documentation to get kickstart going with spacewalk. Looking at the wiki we have this: https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToKickstartCobbler But my concern is that this references version 0.4 and the page was updated 2 years

Hi List, I'm working on setting up a spacewalk server. My question has to do with the repo sync functions. From what I can tell, you can only sync one repo at a time. So if I'm trying to sync all of CentOS5 (x86 / x86_64 / extra / updates), and I want them to update every day. Do I schedule them
