[Spacewalk-list] Updating a machine after registering.

Thu Oct 23 12:22:36 UTC 2008

Hi
I at least now get an error with rhn_register but I think it is because
it is trying to use the wrong channel... I think.

Error Class Code: 70
All available subscriptions for the requested channel have been
exhausted

Regards

	Hi Thanks, 
	I will try rhn_register tomorrow, I am really hopefull that it
will have improved behaviour.

	The dmi errors was because I am running xen, and you need to add
an exception to the code when checking for dmi info... 

	Regards

		I thought it might've been the DMI error that was
causing you problems but I found some threads on the rhn-satellite lists
that confirm others have had similar issues but it didn't affect them
any. So hopefully that wouldn't be stopping your systems from
registering - it's just an error message that can be safely ignored.

		Have you tried registering your system with rhn_register
to see if that changes the behavior? I've had better luck with
rhn_register than rhnreg_ks, personally. It might be worth a try.

				That is definetely all of it. I noticed
that too, I need to 
				rebuild the
				machine and try again to see if there is
a difference. Even though it
				does not fail at the hardware profile
now it still does not 
				mark any of
				the packages as out of date on the
spacewalk server.

					Are you sure that was all of the
output from the command? 

				It doesn't 

					look like it tried to update the
hardware profile this 

				time, which is 

					where the errors appeared in
your original post.
