Via UI and Server. GO to the server in spacewalk -> reactivation -> Generate key. ON the server: rhnreg_ks --force --serverUrl=<a href="https://spacewalk.domain/XMLRPC" target="_blank">https://spacewalk.domain/XMLRPC</a> --sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT --activationkey=key-from-gui Validate: /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid ---> 2. Write a perl/python/java script which runs on the server/device (or you can schedule a script run to re-register with the activation key) that does something like the following (Sorry: not the full code) system_id = "/etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid" rhn_cert = "/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT" keys = sys.argv[1:] if os.path.exists(rhn_cert): for line in open(rhn_cert): if "OU=xxxxx=" in line: http_server=line.split("OU=xxxx=")[-1] http_server=str(http_server.rstrip()) http_xml="http://" + http_server + "/XMLRPC" http_server="http://" + http_server + "/rpc/api" if not http_server: http_server="<a href="http://uprrsat.sos.tla.uprr.com/rpc/api" target="_blank">http://xxxxxx/rpc/api</a>" if os.path.exists(system_id): if os.path.exists(system_id): client = xmlrpclib.Server(http_server) keys.append(client.system.obtain_reactivation_key(open(system_id).read())) command = "rhnreg_ks --force --activationkey=" + string.join(keys, ",") os.system(command) - Thanks and good luck From: Konstantin Raskoshnyi <<a href="mailto:konrasko@gmail.com" target="_blank">konrasko@gmail.com</a>> To: <a href="mailto:spacewalk-list@redhat.com" target="_blank">spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a> Date: 05/04/2016 01:46 AM Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Update hosts names in SP Sent by: <a href="mailto:spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com" target="_blank">spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com</a> <hr noshade> This email originated from outside of the company. Please use discretion if opening attachments or clicking on links.<hr> If I run rhn-profile-sync on hosts then if I click on a host in SP I see the actual hostname. But does spacewalk has a mechanism to update the host name in SP and set in equal to actual hostname? THanks<tt>This email originated from outside of the company.
