I'm trying to query the RHN XMLRPC API in order to generate a list of all the available updated packages for our various RHN-subscribed hosts; unfortunately, what I get from the API and what I get from `yum check-update` differ dramatically. For example, running `yum check-update` on a host that's currently running RHEL5.3, I see 176 updated packages available (that's the RHEL5.4 update). However, when I issue the 'system.listLatestUpgradablePackages' API call, I only see updates available for packages associated with specific errata in RHN, which is a much smaller subset. Is there a different API call that I should be using that will give me an equivalent list? thanks, -Steve -- Steve Huff - Systems Administrator, HMDC - shuff at hmdc.harvard.edu From inode0 at gmail.com Sat Sep 5 16:34:35 2009 From: inode0 at gmail.com (inode0) Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2009 11:34:35 -0500 Subject: [rhn-users] server in private network In-Reply-To: <8b711df40909022021o6a9df0cch8bf20f8af42ec7d2@mail.gmail.com> References: <8b711df40909022021o6a9df0cch8bf20f8af42ec7d2@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: On Wed, Sep 2, 2009 at 10:21 PM, Paras pradhan wrote: > Hi, > > I have just registered my server using rhn_register from the CLI. ?Now > when I logged on to the rhn.redhat.com , I don't see the system.

Assuming by private network you mean it is behind a NAT then that wouldn't affect your ability to register the machine or RHN's ability to handle the machine. One possible reason that you might not see it is if it belongs to a group that you aren't a group admin for. This could happen if you used an activation key or if the default group happens to be one you don't have access to.

I too use the XMLRPC RHN API and have also noticed that some systems that have RHEL 5.3 still show no available updates even though RHEL 5.4 has been out about 5 days now. yum check-update shows the available updates. Logging into the RHN web site shows the same results as the API returns (no updates available), as you would expect. It seems that when a major RHEL update is released it takes several more days than usual for RHN to update the available updates for each system.

You could try and find a plugin for your browser which sends keepalive requests to a URL (within RHN) without impacting the pages you want to access? I don't know about you but the response from RH sounds like weapons-grade hokum to me. Everything's configurable, session timeouts for a web application almost certainly.

In my recent experience it doesn't seem to be based on inactivity at all. When I'm creating new RHN accounts I can't even complete two new accounts before I'm required to login again. I get redirected to the login page right in the middle on a continuous stream of work on RHN and it is very annoying indeed.

In my recent experience it doesn't seem to be based on inactivity at all. When I'm creating new RHN accounts I can't even complete two new accounts before I'm required to login again. I get redirected to the login page right in the middle on a continuous stream of work on RHN and it is very annoying indeed.

Or one might post his experience and thoughts about Red Hat Network to a mailing list that has as its purpose discussions about Red Hat Network. That is making a contribution to our community, saying goodbye isn't. Just another thought. I'm not hearing anyone in this thread or elsewhere saying that they like having their session with RHN disconnected after such a short period of time. Anyone who actually has an hour or two of work to do on RHN certainly does not like logging in over and over while working continuously.

Both nodes are connected via two switches to provide full backend redundancy. The dell MPP drivers are installed and reporting everything as Ok, path failover is working as expected (although longer than I would expect). The issue I'm running into is that in the event of path failure CMAN complains about losing contact with the quorum and eventually fences the node which lost the path. I've attempted tuning the totem and quorum_dev_poll to higher values (all configs/logs attached). The quorum is slightly lower than both. I actually followed the RH KB doc 2882 which states to set the quorum timeout (interval * tko) to a value 1.7x larger than the multipath failover value and totem to a value 2.7x greater. Now, there is little no documentation from Dell on what the values in mpp.conf mean. I _think_ I've reset these to some fairly low values, but have since reverted back to the default config in the initrd image. In the attached messages file I shutdown one of the backend interfaces to simulate path failure, after about a minute the node is evicted and fenced. I just can't seem to get all the values to line up to allow path failover without node fencing. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and how it's resolved? I'm at a loss at this point so any help is appreciated. Frank Clements -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I was setting 6 servers up, and wanted to enable configuration on all of them. I added all 6 to a group, managed the group, etc... I was forced to log in 4 times during this process. I waited for the page to load fully, then started manipulating that page (selecting, deselecting, etc) - I didn't idle. Dear god, make it stop.

The main issue is being forced to re-login as often as we are. That's the annoyance. Which is truly all it is - an annoyance. But the more often it happens, the more annoying it is.
