[Spacewalk-list] issues with host rename

[Gomes, Rich]

Ok, that worked. Thanks!!

 

Now have an issue when starting osa:

 

 

Starting osa-dispatcher: RHN 7591 2011/10/20 12:36:08 -04:00:
('Traceback (most recent call last):\n  File

                                                           [  OK  ]

 

 

 

Thoughts?

I am having issues with a SW server (1.5) that I am running. Currently
it is running without issue but there is a need for a name change. 

Since it is a VM, I am cloning it as the new name and then powering off
the original. 

Once the new server is up I do the following: 

  

1 - Change IP to be that of original 

2 - Change hostname in both /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig/network 

3 - Reboot and verify name change 

4 - Run spacewalk-hostname-rename script 

  

Each time I receive the following: 

  

[root at newhostname ~]# spacewalk-hostname-rename xx.xx.xx.xx  Validating
IP ... OK ============================================= 

hostname: newhostname 

ip: xx.xx.xx.xx

SP2-0157: unable to CONNECT to ORACLE after 3 attempts, exiting SQL*Plus

Fix the problem and run /usr/bin/spacewalk-hostname-rename again 

  

  

  

  

I would think it would be easier to build a new SW server from scratch
but that has not worked out. Every time I try, with version 1.3, 1.4,
and 1.5 everything goes smoothly but Taskomatic service will not stay
running and I have not found a fix for it. 

This server was\is running successfully so I decided to to just clone it
and rename it. 

  

Interestingly, if I change host name back to original, it does me now
good. 

And also, tnsnames and listener.ora both have 'localhost' specified, not
new hostname. 

Changing this to the new hostname does not good either. 

  

  

Has anyone else run into this? 

How can this be fixed? 

  

  

  

Thanks,

Rich: 

Try this, 





-> Stop the osa-dispatcher and jabberd service.
-> #rm -f /var/lib/jabberd/db/*
 
-> Switch to the oracle user and using sqlplus clear out the client and
dispatcher tables.
 

   sqlplus $(spacewalk-cfg-get default_db)

 

   delete from rhnPushDispatcher;
   delete from rhnpushclient;
   commit;
 
   quit
 
-> Now restart the jabberd and osa-dispatcher services


Good luck-
