[Spacewalk-list] Fwd: spacewalk-repo-sync

It’s not automatic sometimes it takes a little while for the repomd.xml to be generated. You can use “taskotop” to monitor the progress of the jobs.

Hello and thanks for your response

I run the commands to re-generate the repomd.xml and I saw in taskomatic_daeamon logs and in the respective directories of the repositories that the files were recreated.

However, if I rerun the command to synchronize the channel it fails again.

/usr/bin/spacewalk-repo-sync -c centos7_x86_64_ceph1.1

Hello V,

I think missed the point during my last response.
Check your configured repos:
  "spacecmd repo_details centos7_x86_64_ceph"
or
  "spacewalk-repo-sync -l" to get a list of software channels with associated repos.

Hello V,

There could be several reasons why the repodata "repomd.xml" is not being created or updated.  The simple step would be to look at your taskomatic logs and see where the failure occurs.

EL type hosts log locations are:  "/var/log/rhn"  In there you'll find most of the logs needed to diagnose what's failing.

Here's some other stuff I pulled together from the web and this community.

How To - Regenerate Spacewalk\Satellite software channel(s) repodata

<< Source : Redhat Solution 319983 >>

Issue:
    * Red Hat Satellite is not re-generating repodata for any channel , How to fix and regenerate the repodata ?
    * On the Red Hat Satellite server repodata is missing under /var/cache/rhn/repodata/channel-label , even after restarting taskomatic service repodata is not getting generated
    * On the Red Hat Satellite client, yum fails with;

      "Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: channel-label.
      Please verify its path and  try again"

    * Difference in Packages Count on satellite and on client for same channel

Environment:
    * Red Hat Satellite
    * Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

Resolution:
Follow the steps below on your Red Hat Satellite server to force repodata generation for any software channel (problematic or not).

    Option 1: Schedule repodata re-generation task for taskomatic daemon using API:

    # spacewalk-api --server=<your Satellite FQDN> --user=<admin user> --password=< paswword> channel.software.regenerateYumCache %session% <Channel Label>

    Note: Replace satellite server hostname , username/password and channel label with proper values.
    If there is more than one affected channel, then run this command multiple time with different channel labels.

    Example: To re-generate repodata for rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-6 channel you can use this command:

    # spacewalk-api --server=sw.sciquest.com --user=sciquest1 --password=secret channel.software.regenerateYumCache %session% rhel6-rhn-tools-x86_64-20180618

    Option 2: Force execution of the scheduled task

    - Login to `RH Satellite` WebUi
    - Click on `Admin` tab
    - Click on `Task Schedules` on left hand menu
    - Click on `Channel-repodata-bunch`
    - Click on button "Single Run Schedule"

    Monitor /var/log/rhn/rhn_taskomatic_daemon.log file on the spacewalk server for progress of the repodata re-generation and confirm whether repodata files got created under /var/cache/rhn/repodata/channel-label directory or not.

    # ls -l /var/cache/rhn/repodata/<channel-label>

    Note:  Initially we can see files with ".new" extension which means that repodata re-generation is in progress.
    Once the ".new" extension is removed, this means that repodata generation has completed.

    After the above steps are completed you can run the below mentioned commands on the client and confirm Channel contents are available to the client or not:

    # yum clean all
    # yum repolist

Hello,

After my spacewalk upgrade to 2.9 all my channel synchronizations are failing . e.g

/usr/bin/spacewalk-repo-sync -c centos7_x86_64_ceph -t yum

Processing repository with URL: http://download.ceph.com/rpm-luminous/el7/x86_64/<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdownload.ceph.com%2Frpm-luminous%2Fel7%2Fx86_64%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1aUnNiBiKu_SCxkWCK2GH48PZwKDshJdxHzBZ64uoiDVQ9ecjKhlN7izY&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cd21b75c098354e3bd2f708d6830ca4db%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636840487655478685&sdata=72K4Yde7h9SVjtgTInQegH%2FtCm3U03ttxkMV1sU8%2B6U%3D&reserved=0>

ERROR: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: centos7_x86_64_ceph1.1. Please verify its path and try again

All the channel sync used to work properly before the upgrade.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
