[Spacewalk-list] [External] : Re: Why there are two activation keys in my kickstart file ?

[Avi Miller]

One of them is generic (for Oracle Linux 8). The other is host-specific and is used to rebuild the host, if triggered. It will store the last known package configuration of that host, so if you reprovision it using Spacewalk, that activation key will ensure the same package set is installed.

Hi ,everyone:

This is part of the kickstart which is auto produced by spacewalk.

try:  # python 2
    import xmlrpclib
except ImportError:  # python 3
    import xmlrpc.client as xmlrpclib
import shutil
import sys
import os.path

try:
    old_system_id = "/tmp/rhn/systemid"
    new_system_id = "/mnt/sysimage/root/systemid.old"
    tmp_key = "/mnt/sysimage/tmp/key"

    new_keys = "1-fd833f6fb24dbd1f8807f36d434049a4,1-296a3f05d95aec9f804024a596acc810"
    for key in new_keys.split(','):
        if key.startswith('re-'):
            sys.exit(0)

You can see that there are tow keys, but when I create the kickstart, I only choose one key(1-296a3f05d95aec9f804024a596acc810) just like below pic, and the other one(1-fd833f6fb24dbd1f8807f36d434049a4) does not exists in my spacewalk system.

But why the spacewalk produce such a kickstart file ? Why ?

Could you give me some explain ?

Thanks.
