Everything works great except for one item. I use an answers.txt file to supply all the information to spacewalk-setup, e.g. spacewalk-setup –answer-file=answers.txt This worked perfectly with Spacewalk 2.6. The 2.7 version seems to have introduced a new required parameter, the cname alias for the system. The script pauses and asks for that information – not real handy when trying to do an unattended install. I added into my answers.txt file this line: “ssl-cname = spacewalk2” but it is ignored and I’m still prompted. Is there a solution to this to keep my automated script working correctly? Here is some of the output: Wed Oct 4 11:44:31 CEST 2017 - Now installing Spacewalk* Loading answer file: /root/scripts/answers.txt.** Database: Setting up database connection for PostgreSQL backend.** Database: Installing the database:** Database: This is a long process that is logged in:** Database: /var/log/rhn/install_db.log*** Progress: #** Database: Installation complete.** Database: Populating database.*** Progress: ##########################* Configuring tomcat.* Setting up users and groups.** GPG: Initializing GPG and importing key.** GPG: Creating /root/.gnupg directory* Performing initial configuration.* Configuring apache SSL virtual host.** /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf has been backed up to ssl.conf-swsave* Configuring jabberd.* Creating SSL certificates.Cname alias of the machine (comma seperated)? spacewalk2** SSL: Generating CA certificate.** SSL: Deploying CA certificate.** SSL: Generating server certificate.** SSL: Storing SSL certificates.* Deploying configuration files.* Update configuration in database.* Setting up Cobbler..* Restarting services.Installation complete.
