I'm testing SpaceWalk 1.2 server and clients on RH5 platform .<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Following the doc <a href="https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/UploadFedoraContent"> https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/UploadFedoraContent</a> (Channels -> Manage Software Channels -> Choose the channel to be linked -> Repositories -> Select the repositories to be linked to the channel -> Update Repositories -> Sync ) I'm trying to sync already defined repo to a specific channel but receive this error :<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> * The scheduling service appears down. Please contact your Satellite administrator.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> But , doing that in a command line I succeeded to upload packages to the channel :<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> spacewalk-repo-sync --channel rhel5.5 --url <a href="http://path_to_server%3chttp:/path_to_server/"> http://path_to_server<http://path_to_server/</a>><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> After that I see all packages list under the rhel5.5 channel . In the similar way I added updates for the rhel5.5 child channel . Then moved to my clients in order to make them work with a server . But there I stucked :<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> 2. How to proceed with clients management/updates - I found some threads that it is not required to define .repo file on a client side under /etc/yum.repos.d/ ?<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> At present neither management packages task from a server cannot be performed .<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Running Software Updater from RH5 client utility pops me up “Unable to retrieve software information” message .In details I see the following “Cannot retrieve repository metadata ( repomd.xml) for repository rhel5.5.” <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Corresponding request was written in /var/log/httpd/access_log od the server :<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> 10.63.200.41 - - [31/Jan/2011:09:54:18 +0200] "GET /XMLRPC/GET-REQ/rhel5.5/repodata/repomd.xml HTTP/1.1" 404 9 "-" "rhn.rpclib.py/$Revision$"<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> And I really cannot see in /var/cache/rhn/reposync/rhel5.5/ repodata/repomd.xml file .<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I suspect that packages were not synced properly into the server while using spacewalk-repo-sync command above .<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> 3.
