[Spacewalk-list] Freshly installed system

[John Hodrien]

Right.  I've got to the stage where I can install a system using spacewalk
0.4.  I've just build an f9 spacewalk-koan package and added that to my
spacewalk channel.

A system already registered with spacewalk was selected through the webui, I
selected Provisioning, selected my only kickstart profile, and clicked
"schedule kickstart and finish".

Off it went.

The rhnreg_ks failed.  It looked like it was trying to do:

rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://spacewalkserver.localdomain/XMLRPC
--sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
--activationkey=1-6dc85002e07027f9dbc7000f9118d6f6,1-689fc466371229946694b241624470a7

The first activationkey I was assuming was a system specific one.  Trying from
the command line it gave me:

# rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://spacewalkserver.localdomain/XMLRPC
# --sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
# --activationkey=1-6dc85002e07027f9dbc7000f9118d6f6,1-689fc466371229946694b241624470a7
An error has occurred:
<type 'exceptions.IndexError'>
See /var/log/up2date for more information

Snipping an activationkey gave:

# rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://spacewalkserver.localdomain/XMLRPC
# --sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
# --activationkey=1-6dc85002e07027f9dbc7000f9118d6f6 -vvvvv

Using the other key, the system registered (although as a new machine, not
overwriting the existing record in spacewalk).

# rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://spacewalkserver.localdomain/XMLRPC
# --sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
# --activationkey=1-689fc466371229946694b241624470a7  -vvvvv

D: May free Score board((nil))

As it said, the package list was empty.  So I tried:

rhn-profile-sync

This fixed the package list.

Deleted the machine from spacewalk, and reregistered:

# rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://spacewalkserver.localdomain/XMLRPC
# --sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
# --activationkey=1-689fc466371229946694b241624470a7  -vvvvv --force

D: locked   db index       /var/lib/rpm/Packages
D: opening  db index       /var/lib/rpm/Providename rdonly mode=0x0
D: closed   db index       /var/lib/rpm/Providename
D: closed   db index       /var/lib/rpm/Packages
D: closed   db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages
D: May free Score board((nil))

Machine is registered, and 215 of the 2.5k packages are listed.
rhn-profile-sync fixed it up again.

IP Address is listed in the webui as "0", although this doesn't appear to
happen everytime, sometimes this comes through correctly.

There's also some Internal Server Errors lurking that appear to get worse the
longer the spacewalk server is up.  When they return I'll try and track down
what's going on.
