[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk clients reporting zero packages in channels

Tue May 1 20:52:00 UTC 2018

Faced that issue before and its fixed by stopping the spacewalk services then  delete data under /var/cache/rhn/reposync/* then start back the spacewalk , it should work with you.

"spacewalk-service stop ; rm -rf /var/cache/rhn/reposync/* ; spacewalk-service start"

If the above didn't work delete everything under /var/cache/rhn/* after stoping the spacewalk services then start the spacewalk and resync the channels it must work with you.

"spacewalk-service stop ; rm -rf /var/cache/rhn/* ; spacewalk-service start; spacewalk-repo-sync -c atlas-centos6-x86_64  -c atlas-centos6-x86_64-updates  -c atlas-epel6-centos6-x86_64 -c atlas-spacewalk27-client-centos6-x86_64 -t yum "

*The above will not delete the packages

Please share if that fixed your issue.

Spacewalkers,

I am in dire need of some assistance with this issue.

I have tested against freshly built Spacewalk 2.8 and Spacewalk 2.7 systems and the results are the same.

The base OS is always Centos 6.9 fully patched.

I believe I have a misconfiguration somewhere but I?m just not finding it.

Problem:

When I register a client to either SW2.7 or SW2.8 the repos show up without any packages.  In both cases the SW server shows the channels are fully populated and the repos cache status = completed.  The channel, e.g.

atlas-centos6-x86_64, is a clone from the master centos6-x86_64 channel; created using spacecmd softwarechannel_clonetree ?s centos6-x86_64 ?p ?atlas-? ?g

[root at kfr-fpr-hc-d01 yum.repos.d]# yum repolist

Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security

This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite.

repo id                                       repo

atlas-spacewalk27-client-centos6-x86_64       atlas-Spacewalk Client 2.7

for CentOS 6 (x86_64)   0

When I point this same server to the existing SW2.2 system I get this:

[root at kfr-fpr-hc-d01 ~]# yum repolist

atlas-spacewalk-centos6                  169

This problem is a huge issue which is preventing us from moving forward.

Any and all suggestions are very welcome.  Thank you,
