So if you upload again (even if previously delete) package with the same name, epoch, version and release. Proxy think it is same content and do not change it attributes - mainly header_start and header_end. I find this several weeks ago. I consider it as feature. But I understand you can see it as bug. In that case feel free to fill in bug report. The right way for now is - if you change content of package, bump up release version. -- Miroslav Suchy RHN Satellite Engineering, Red Hat From hlawatschek at atix.de Mon Oct 1 11:32:20 2007 From: hlawatschek at atix.de (Mark Hlawatschek) Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2007 13:32:20 +0200 Subject: [rhn-users] Query system information from rhn Message-ID: <200710011332.20655.hlawatschek@atix.de> Hi, is there a way to automatically query system and subscription information from the RHN ?

We will be reviewing our documentation structure in upcoming releases; the next release will have release notes as per-norm. As for RHN 503, it was mostly an infrastructure and bug-fix release.

Message-ID: Those are sweet machines! Anyway, RH subscription service allows you to install whatever version you wish until the contract expires. That's rather sensible and a good incetive to abandon legacy systems, lessening support costs from RH's perspective. The customer, on the other hand, can get the latest updates on kernel and system stuff and that is really good news, especially if migrating from AS3. I'm pretty sure a RH5 migrarion would get you the whole cluster, gfs and XEN package, but you should wait for someone else to confirm that. Of course you must plan adapting your production software to the new package versions milestoned in the AS release.

This release has no new features. The release notes will be published to http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/satellite/ within the next 2 business days and are copied below in this notice. NOTES ----- 1) For RHN Proxy 4.2.2 Users we have one note: A bugfix for allowing RHEL 5 clients to download content via a RHN Proxy 4.2 system which is communicating to a Satellite or RHN Hosted (rhn.redhat.com) via a HTTP Proxy requires that the following line is added to the /etc/squid/squid.conf file: range_offset_limit -1 KB This configuration value will be added automatically for any new installations of RHN Proxy 4.2 using a 4.2.2 Satellite, but is not added for already deployed RHN Proxy servers, or those using/installed against RHN Hosted. So: RHN Hosted <-> HTTP Proxy <-> RHN Proxy <-> Clients or Satellite <-> HTTP Proxy <-> RHN Proxy <-> Clients You may also need to purge your RHN Proxy squid cache if you have partial Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 rpms within squid cache which are being mistakenly served as whole RPM's to RHEL 5 yum clients. This would be to clean up the cache (all cache will be lost): service rhn-proxy stop rm -rf /var/spool/squid/* squid -z service rhn-proxy start 2) Any Satellite or RHN Proxy being updated will want a full stop and start of the rhn-satellite or rhn-proxy services to ensure the new code is being used. 3) There is one bugfix we did for Satellite, not noted within the Release Notes (due to its late addition). This is: A bug has been fixed where normal users were not able to schedule the re-provisioning of a registered system within the Satellite WebUI via a registered RHN Proxy server, when the user does not have access to manage the registered RHN Proxy server. The fix in place now allows all users to re-provision registered systems, which they normally have access to within the Satellite WebUI, via any registered RHN Proxy. [Yes - I just wrote that summary, and not someone in docs - it shows :) ] RHN Proxy 4.2.2 Release Notes ----------------------------- * An issue has been addressed in which Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 clients could not download packages via an Red Hat Network Proxy 4.2 server when it used an HTTP proxy to reach either Red Hat Network or Red Hat Network Satellite. * A bug has been fixed where if you upload a package to Red Hat Network using rhns-proxy-manager, it does not compute the package and sends header_start and header_end to Red Hat Network. Satellite 4.2.2 Release Notes ----------------------------- * When packages appear without links in an errata due to database tables being out of sync, it is possible to force repopulation with new option --force-all-errata. * When using the web form to submit a kickstart pre- or post-script that includes any method for expressing string literals (double-angle bracket >> or backslash \), such as here-documents or line continuations, the web form now properly handles special characters upon submission. * All custom %post scripts are now run after the default Red Hat Network Satellite scripts, which allows users to remove or edit the contents of the default /etc/motd file with content or files specified by the custom %post script. * Links on the Newer Versions -> Relevant Errata page now point to resolvable URLs. * When scheduling for a system, all kickstart profile options are now preserved, including Red Hat Network Proxy selection, Package Profile, and Kernel command line options.

Message-ID: I have a RHEL4 server that I set up last year and that has been happily working with RHN for most of the time since. Unfortunately, a few weeks ago, my purchasing group let my Red Hat support expire, and my system apparently became unassociated with RHN update channels. The support contract has supposedly been renewed, but I still get the message "This system may not be updated until it is associated wioth a channel.". When I login to the RHN website and go to the Software Channels page for my system, it shows that I have no Base Channel and the only selection in the drop-down box is "(none, disable service)". What procedure do I need to follow to make the channel list available again? How can I verify that the renewal was properly processed? Thanks very much for any help!

Part of the processing this script does is to call 'rhnreg_ks' to create a profile on RHN and then download/install all the latest updates. Both of these steps appear to work correctly, however I have noticed that /etc/sysconfg/rhn/up2date-uuid is not getting updated, i.e. I now have 5 or 6 servers with the same uuid entry in this file. I'd assumed that the RHN registration process would generate a new uuid after writing out /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid, but obviously this isn;t happening. I have tried changing the up2date-uuid file so that the rhnuuid filed is blanked out, i.e: uuid[comment]=Universally Unique ID for this server rhnuuid= Running rhnreg_ks then creates a systemid file as expected, but the rhnuuid stays blank. Two question arise out of this. Firstly, does it matter that I have servers on my network with duplicate rhnuuid values? Secondly, how can I re-generate the rhnuuid field held in the up2date-uuid file? -- Regards Phil Edwards Brighton, UK From Ross.McKerchar at sophos.com Mon Oct 22 10:34:09 2007 From: Ross.McKerchar at sophos.com (Ross.McKerchar at sophos.com) Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2007 11:34:09 +0100 Subject: [rhn-users] System groups, configuration channels & macros Message-ID: Hello, I'm just trying to get to grips with my companies RHN satellite setup. I've been trying to use if for managing kickstart's and configuration files. However I'm struggling - apologies if this info is all in the manual: I've been reading it a lot but it hasn't helped. If anyone could help me out with the following questions, I'd be grateful. 1. Can I manage system configurations based on groups? I'd like to be able to subscribe a group to a configuration channel and have all systems in that group receive the necessary files. I only seem able to do it per host - indeed although you can create groups I cant see how to use those groups anywhere! Ideally I'd like these group to be defined on our ldap server which the RHN server also uses? 2. Can I define custom macros for my configuration files? I know you can define fields for systems and include them but I would like to write a script that can get values from a configuration management database, for instance. 3. Can I setup all new machines to automatically join a "base" configuration channel or do I have to script this using rhncg-client? 4. Can I use includes in my kickstarts - we currently have a dozen kickstarts but the differences between them are generally only a few lines (SCSI/SATA/IDE, for instance). Consequently changing them is very hard. I have tried finding the kickstart file's on my server to shortcut the restrictive UI but couldn't - I presume they're tucked away in a database?
