[Spacewalk-list] Problem Sync'ing a new Channel in Spacewalk.

[Szabo, Marc]

Waldirio,

Thank you for the quick response.  I see that it is working for you and our configs are very similar:

[root at nw-spcwlk-201 ~]# rhn-satellite-exporter --list-channels
Channel List:
B = Base Channel
C = Child Channel
B centos65-base-x86_64

However, when I cut and paste your command line into my spacewalk server (nw-spcwlk-201 / 172.21.xx.xxx), it still fails for me.  I’m beginning to believe that it is a firewall issue.  Could you provide me with the ports to open for the destination and target sources?    Would it be bi-directional?

Also, you mentioned something about a taskomatic within the GUI??   How can I find this?

Thanks again for your help….

Marc.

Marc, good afternoon

Works in my environment, maybe your problem was network connection in the moment of sync. Take a look bellow

###
[root at spacewalk ~]# rhn-satellite-exporter --list-channels
Channel List:
B = Base Channel
C = Child Channel

B centos65-base-x86_64


[root at spacewalk ~]# spacewalk-repo-sync --channel centos65-base-x86_64 --url http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/ --type yum
#### Channel label: centos65-base-x86_64 ####

Although, if you are using a minor release (5) of 6.5 in this case, I recommend you to sync from http://mirror.globo.com/centos/6.5/os/x86_64/

Another point is, you can define the spacewalk to sync for you (I'm not sure if you are just forcing bu cli or preparing the command to add in your crontab for example), just setting in webui, the taskomatic will do this hard work for you! ;-)

Let me know if you have another question or about the same.

Take Care

Hello all,

I’m new to spacewalk and I’m in the process of setting up a spacewalk server.  I believe that I successfully created the Channel (labeled: centos65-base-x86_64) and Repository (centos65-base-x86_64) and linked them via Manage Software Channels.  Now I’m trying to sync the repository from CentOS URL and I get the following error message:

[root at nw-spcwlk-201 ~]# spacewalk-repo-sync --channel centos65-base-x86_64 --url http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/ --type yum
#### Channel label: centos65-base-x86_64 ####
Repo URL: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/
ERROR: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: centos65-base-x86_64. Please verify its path and try again
Sync completed.
Total time: 0:01:00

What am I missing?

Thank you.
