[Spacewalk-list] Upgrade/install packages in spacewalk

[Alexandru Raceanu]

Just a quick one... How many clients are we talking about here ?
By design, RH doesn't recommend or will pickup the actions instantly as if you would have 10k+ clients, it will trash down SW...
That's why you have the checking interval by default 240 min and minimum is 60 min... 
I would not relay 100% on osad as I've always seen some clients misbehaving for whatever reason. If you have only couple of hundreds of clients you can lower the checkin to 60min and that would guarantee you that an action scheduled will be picked up within 1 hour.

Here is the screenshot

As you can see that "This action scheduled after 3/12/18 11:06:00 AM PDT"
But, the client picked up this action on 3/12/18 aa:09 AM

Why the client picked up 3 mins after 11:06 AM? Can we bypass the scheduling and apply the actions immediately?

Thanks

Francis

How can I "osad" status  from SW GUI?

The picture doesn't tell very much. If osad is installed on the client, then there is something broken here.

Try to stop osad on the client, remove /etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad-auth and start it again.

Check in SW GUI that the osad status is "online" and try to ping it from there. Then try the installation again.
