[Spacewalk-list] Zombie kickstart profile

Wed Oct 30 15:46:21 UTC 2013

Hi Paul,

That sounds good, but I can't delete it from the GUI because it does not present itself as a HREF link to select and perform "delete kickstart" operation. That is the main issue I have which I explained in the first email of this thread.

When I use "spacecmd", I hit the same wall.

spacecmd {SSM:0}> kickstart_list
CentOS-6-interactive-x86_64
CentOS-6-x86_64-nonvm-prod
CentOS-6-x86_64-rescue
CentOS-6-x86_64-vm-10196-dev
CentOS-6-x86_64-vm-10196-prod
CentOS-6-x86_64-vm-10196-test
CentOS-6-x86_64-vm-10197-dev
CentOS-6-x86_64-vm-10197-prod
CentOS-6-x86_64-vm-10197-test
CentOS-6-x86_64-vm-devel
CentOS-6-x86_64-vm-dmz-dev
CentOS-6-x86_64-vm-dmz-prod
CentOS-6-x86_64-vm-dmz-test
CentOS-6-x86_64-vm-prod
CentOS-6-x86_64-vm-prod-static
CentOS-6-x86_64-vm-test
CentOS6-x86_64

OEL-6_3-x86_64-nonvm-prod
OEL-6_3-x86_64-nonvm-test
OEL-6_3-x86_64-vm-test
spacecmd {SSM:0}> kickstart_delete CentOS-6-x86_64-rescue

Delete profile CentOS-6-x86_64-rescue [y/N]: y
ERROR: redstone.xmlrpc.XmlRpcFault: unhandled internal exception: null
spacecmd {SSM:0}>

Thanks,

You have to remove it from spacewalks interface not via cobbler profile --remove.
The reason it comes back is because spacewalk populates cobbler from spacewalks database, so the next time spacewalk executes a cobbles sync it will put it right back.
Remove it via the web interface or via one of the spacewalk command line tools and it won't come back any more.

Hi,

When I do

cobbler profile remove --name …

The profile disappears from the web interface temporarily, but soon after, it comes back. Thanks for your help.

Thanks,
Prakash

Did you ever get a solution to this?  I have a similar problem with a
couple of kickstarts showing up in Satellite but I can't click them or
delete or anything.

   Hello,

   Not sure how, but our site now has a zombie KS profile. Here is
   how it shows up in the KS list.

   Label - CentOS-6-x86_64-rescue:1:Org
   Shows as "Active"
   Distribution - CentOS-6-x86_64:1:Org
   Spacewalk Managed - X (Not)

   Looks like we got into a Cobbler/Spacewalk mismatch somehow. We
   did run out of space on the SW server file system a few weeks ago,
   so this could have been a by product of that. I am not sure how to
   clear this out of Spacewalk.

   "cobbler sync" does not help.

   More info:

   There is another kickstart whose label is "CentOS-6-x86_64-rescue"
   in SW. When I select this KS in the web fronted, I get the
   following in catalina.out.

   2013-10-21 21:52:33,852 [TP-Processor1] WARN

   ?

   I think this KS has an issue which is instead showing up as an
   additional zombie KS.

   Thanks,
   Prakash
