From inode0 at gmail.com Fri Aug 3 22:05:24 2007 From: inode0 at gmail.com (inode0) Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2007 17:05:24 -0500 Subject: [rhn-users] RHN Proxy Servers and Custom Channels completely broken now Message-ID: Since the release of the 4.2.0 version of the proxy custom channels on RHEL5 have been broken at least for hosted users. This problem still persists today more than 4 months later. Now it appears that all of our custom channels for RHEL3 and RHEL4 stopped working on July 24, the date of the release of RHN 502. While we were able to make folks wait for RHEL5 and eventually we provided our own yum repos for those packages, we have a different more urgent problem with the current situation as it affects a large base of installed systems configured to get updates via custom channels through RHN. I would appreciate it very much if someone could take a look at the current behavior of custom channels on hosted systems. If this is something that can be resolved in a matter of days we can manage, if we need to bail on using custom channels entirely this couldn't come at a worse time (the start of the busiest semester of year).

The quick response from Red Hat was really helpful and is very much appreciated by our users and our idiot admin (I feel I can characterize him that way since I know him so well).

I often work from a laptop, and sometimes from an unreliable windows PC. So if I want to run a job on a server that I don't want to get interrupted, I usually go $ screen $ script ~/output.log.`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M` # optional run whatever commands I need # detaches the screen At that point, I can disconnect my laptop or reboot my unstable windows desktop. I (or a colleague) can log in again from any source and then monitor the job using a 'tail -f [output-file]', and can re-attach using 'screen -r'. To terminate 'script', press . To terminate 'screen', press again. FWIIW, the screen command needs write access to the tty device, so logging in from one account, su-ing to another, and then running 'screen' usually doesn't work. Hope this helps.

What you want is just nohup in front of the command they want to execute and then the & at the end to put it in the background. Nohup, as it alludes to, means "no hangup". This means the command will run "forever", "until it finishes normally", or "someone manually kills the process".

I have Dell blade servers 1955 with RHEL4 OS on it. For past few days the system has started acting very busy and after quick investigation (just writing top) we found out that the "gam_server" service is taking 100% cpu usage. I understand we are doing a little bit of IO working on the box but even then it shouldn't be taking 100% process time. From what I have noticed its a bug with the kernal but i am a bit confused how to fix it? If i kill the process, what are the drawbacks? We have two NFS mounted drive on the blades too. Please if any one has quick suggestion or a fix, it will be highly appreciated. Thanks alot in advance.

Possibly some of your rootvg partitions - like /usr and /var are on the ones you are trying to umount, and since they are part of the kernl mounts, a simple umount won't unmount them. I highly recommend staying away from the "lazy" umount command - "umount -l /filesystem". You can go to single user mode by typing "init 1" of course that makes the machine completely unavailable.

Use of this this list is starting to drift again. Please read the "About rhn-users" section on the link below which might help redirect you to a list where this question is on-topic. https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhn-users John From cperry at redhat.com Wed Aug 29 15:49:39 2007 From: cperry at redhat.com (Clifford Perry) Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2007 11:49:39 -0400 Subject: [rhn-users] 5.0.1 Satellite and RHN Proxy released today Message-ID: <46D59593.7040505@redhat.com> Hi folks, I am pleased to let you know that Satellite and RHN Proxy 5.0.1 have been released today, Wednesday August 29th 2007. This is a small bug-fix maintenance release with no new features for the RHN Proxy and Satellite code, along with a new rhn-upgrade package and supporting change to the rhn-custom-info client side package. An Errata, of type security, has been released with 5.0.1 that only effects 5.0.0 Satellite customers. It is recommended for all 5.0.0 Satellite customers to review this Errata and schedule an upgrade to 5.0.1 for the set of packages (rhns-*) that are associated with the Errata. You can view this Errata at: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0868.html The release notes for 5.0.1 are available within the Satellite 5.0.1 WebUI as well as published (later today) to http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/satellite/ . I will place a copy of these release notes below as well. There is one note worthy item that did not make the Release Notes - this is due to changes happening after release notes were completed. 1) RHN Proxy 5.0.1 has a change to the squid.conf file that is deployed onto the RHN Proxy server. This change is not available within RHN Hosted currently, if you install new RHN Proxies using RHN Hosted, but will be available to RHN Proxy with RHN Hosted customers with the RHN 5.0.3 Hosted release, which is currently in QA. Any new RHN Proxy deployments of RHN Proxy 5.0.1 against a 5.0.1 Satellite will automatically have this updated squid.conf file. Since the squid.conf file is generated and inserted into the RHN Proxy configuration channel only once, during the initial install/activation process, a customer can when performing a 'up2date -u' upgrade from 5.0.0 -> 5.0.1 RHN Proxy make the following change to the /etc/squid/squid.conf file and add this line to the bottom to have this change: range_offset_limit -1 KB A restart of the squid service will be needed for this change. New ISOs The new ISO's are available for download from the Download tab of the Satellite 5.0 channel within RHN - https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/channel/downloads/Download.do?cid=7254 Satellite Installer - Build 11 447 MB 93f4131989a22811be81f2664a4a1366 Satellite Installer - Build 11 (Embedded Database) 618 MB 361f04bc5c5b6b67d85692fa38295524 Release Notes The following are the major bug fixes and changes released as part of Red Hat Network 5.0.1. * Red Hat Network Satellite 5.0 no longer supports the 'org/' URL type in kickstart profiles. For example: https://sat.example.com/kickstart/ks/org/1x8ac1dbff1d17c09434225433ab8/view_label/rhel-i386-as-3-u8 If you are utilizing the above URL format, you must convert your kickstart profiles to one that does not use the hash string, such as: https://sat.example.com/kickstart/ks/view_label/rhel-i386-as-3-u8 * The clear_channel API backend module has been removed. This unused API module was removed due to security concerns. * The rhn_bootstrap_strings.py script now uses the -y option of the yum command to automatically assume "yes" to all questions during the package update process. * Channel GPG key URL entry now correctly accepts file, http and https protocols. * Red Hat Network Satellite does not currently support the direct provisioning of guests in a virtual system. To configure guest systems, click the Virtualization tab of the host's System Details page. * The following changes to Virtualization entitlements have been made in Red Hat Network Satellite 5.0.1: o Virtualization and Virtualization Platform entitlements cannot be simultaneously selected on the Activation Key and Update screens. o Servers with both Virtualization and Virtualization Platform entitlements are now deletable o Activation keys with conflicting virtualization entitlements will result in the server being given whatever virtualization entitlement is associated with the first activation key * Users who upgrade to Red Hat Network Satellite 5.0.1 via the update -u command may encounter an issue that prevents rhn-custom-info from working correctly. To correct this issue, you must install the rhn-custom-info client-side packages, as well as the new rhn-satellite-config package. After installing the packages, run the following commands: cp /etc/sysconfig/rhn-satellite-prep/etc/httpd/conf/rhnweb.conf /etc/httpd/conf/rhnweb.conf service httpd restart Customers who use the ISO to perform installations of Red Hat Network 5.0.1 or upgrade to 5.0 will have the rhnweb.conf file in the correct location upon installation.

Right now, today, no. The automated test suites that the Satellite QE team uses does not cover this area of the RHN Proxy product. More and more of the product though is getting integrated into the test suites over time, so hopefully well before RHEL 6 comes out RHN Proxy will indeed be covered with such automated general regression type testing. :) Cliff > > thanks, > daryl > > _______________________________________________ > rhn-users mailing list > rhn-users at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhn-users -- Clifford Perry Team Lead, Satellite Sustaining Engineering Red Hat, Inc. http://www.redhat.com/ +1 919 754 4403 RHCE# 803004507210710 From akrherz at iastate.edu Wed Aug 29 16:48:16 2007 From: akrherz at iastate.edu (Daryl Herzmann) Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2007 11:48:16 -0500 (CDT) Subject: [rhn-users] 5.0.1 Satellite and RHN Proxy released today In-Reply-To: <46D5A197.309@redhat.com> References: <46D59593.7040505@redhat.com> <46D5A197.309@redhat.com> Message-ID: On Wed, 29 Aug 2007, Clifford Perry wrote: > Yes - this 5.0.1 RHN Proxy release does address this issue for RHEL 5 > clients using RHN Proxy, with custom channels.

Also, we modified the rhn-package-manager command to correctly calculate start/end values for package headers, so that if you re-upload a custom package it will have the right values and the 5.0.1 RHN Proxy will correctly download the package. So, if you have a 5.0.1 RHN Proxy, a re-upload of the package to the custom channel, *should* resolve the issue. Reviewing the Release Notes (which I did review before being released), it seems we are lacking here - for clarity :( Sorry.

I would get your AS licenses transitioned to AP licenses though if you're moving to RHEL5 (the AP licenses will still work as AS on the older versions) - w/o the transition you can't take full advantage of the AP stuff (clustering, unlimited guests). https://www.redhat.com/rhel/transition/ -----Original Message----- From: rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Hiren Patel (HN) Sent: Friday, August 31, 2007 5:20 AM To: Discussions about Red Hat Network (rhn.redhat.com) Subject: [rhn-users] question about subscriptions hi all, i needed to clear up something regarding subscriptions of redhat, are subscriptions in any way tied to a specific version of redhat? i have used what are supposedly enterprise 3 subscriptions with RHEL4 and it seems to work well for me, the subscription details on rhn still show something to this effect: Red Hat Enterprise Linux|AS|Version 3|Premium|L3-only|x86 i could comfortably use this subscription on a RHEL5 installation if i needed to switch right, there is no version requirement with subscriptions and installations is there? thanks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This e-mail is subject to the Telkom SA electronic communication legal notice, available at : http://www.telkom.co.za/TelkomEMailLegalNotice ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _______________________________________________ rhn-users mailing list rhn-users at redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhn-users ----------------------------------------- This email transmission and any accompanying attachments may contain CSX privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the intended addressee.

Hi Mikko, This doesn't sound very related to the topic of this list - Red Hat Network. Perhaps one of the lists suggested here would be more suited to this question? https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhn-users John From rriley at procuri.com Fri Aug 31 15:25:30 2007 From: rriley at procuri.com (Richard Riley) Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2007 11:25:30 -0400 Subject: [rhn-users] rebuild kernel or get new hard drive? In-Reply-To: <46D484BB.20900@scripps.edu> References: <000001c90c18$95a07880$8064a8c0@sammy> <46D484BB.20900@scripps.edu> Message-ID: If you reboot from the console, on startup, it will ask if you want to run fsck on the drives. Answer yes. If you are running raid disks, it should repair any problems if it is simply a bad spot on a disk. If you are not running raid or only have one disk, your problem will probably be more severe. If it is a bad spot on the hard drive, you might be able to reformat that partition. If the partition is root or usr, you may need to rebuild the machine from scratch. This will allow you to run a reformat of the entire disk to fix all bad spots. It may be that the disk or its controller are bad and that would mean replacing it and starting from scratch. Good Luck.
