[Spacewalk-list] Problems with Spacewalk 2.7 automated install - cname alias of the machine

[Larry Clegg]

Greetings Spacers,



I have a script that installs and configures Spacewalk 2.7 from scratch on
a Centos 6.9 system.  Everything works great except for one item.



I use an answers.txt file to supply all the information to spacewalk-setup,
e.g. spacewalk-setup –answer-file=answers.txt



This worked perfectly with Spacewalk 2.6.  The 2.7 version seems to have
introduced a new required parameter, the cname alias for the system.  The
script pauses and asks for that information – not real handy when trying to
do an unattended install.



I added into my answers.txt file this line:  “ssl-cname = spacewalk2”   but
it is ignored and I’m still prompted.



Is there a solution to this to keep my automated script working correctly?



Here is some of the output:

And here is the answers.txt file I’m testing with:



[root at spacewalk2 scripts]#  cat answers.txt

admin-email = lclegg at kyriba.com

ssl-set-org = Kyriba

ssl-set-org-unit = spacewalk2.cloud.kyriba.com

ssl-set-city = San Diego

ssl-set-state = CA

ssl-set-country = US

ssl-password = spacewalk

ssl-set-email = root at localhost

ssl-config-sslvhost = Y

ssl-cname = spacewalk2

db-backend = postgresql

db-name = spaceschema

db-user = spaceuser

db-password = spacepw

db-host = localhost

db-port = 5432

enable-tftp = N
