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

That's expected. The Oracle yum repos contain both binary and source RPMs and Spacewalk only downloads the binary RPMs, but it counts the source RPMs as well.

By the  way, why not all packages need  download ?

20541-15779=4762
But there only 54 packages need download, why ?

Thanks.

Yes, my repos are all synced all packages , not only latest version.

Hey,

That key is system-specific and managed by Spacewalk, and it allows Spacewalk to reprovision this specific server.

Out of curiousity, what happens if you run "dnf update" on the server? It's probably worth running "dnf repolist -v" on that server to ensure that only the Spacewalk-managed repos are enabled and the yum.oracle.com ones are not.

Just a note that you should always sync the entire repo for OL8. Using the --latest parameter (or checking the box in the UI) will break the modular metadata. We mention this in our docs too: https://docs.oracle.com/en/operating-systems/oracle-linux-manager/2.10/admin/chap-chan-repo.html#syncswcsrs

Thanks,
Avi

1.     I have named the activation key like this, but one key that appears in the kickstart not in the list, I don’t know where it comes from and why should it exists((1-fd833f6fb24dbd1f8807f36d434049a4).

     [cid:image002.jpg at 01D6FF79.C8D227F0]



2.     If you click on the "143" in the table, does Spacewalk provide a list of the packages?



No, there’s no package list, like this:

[cid:image003.jpg at 01D6FF79.C8D227F0]
       But , If I first choose the testol83 then select the manage and then press upgrade, there are packages needs upgrade like below:

[cid:image004.jpg at 01D6FF79.C8D227F0]




3.     I tried the command, but it still exists.



[root at testol83 ~]# rhn-profile-sync -v

Updating package profile...

Updating hardware profile...

First, I strongly encourage you to name your activation keys instead of using the ones Spacewalk auto-generates. It makes it a lot easier for troubleshooting. :)

Second, that inconsistency is interesting because there are no errata associated with the 143 packages that Spacewalk thinks are available. If you click on the "143" in the table, does Spacewalk provide a list of the packages? I would also suggest manually running "rhn-profile-sync -v" on testol83.tltd.com to see if that resolves the inconsistency.

1.You mean that 1-296a3f05d95aec9f804024a596acc810  is host-specific one  and (1-fd833f6fb24dbd1f8807f36d434049a4  is generic ?

2.In my env, there is a problem maybe related to the above question:

One os which registered with 1-296a3f05d95aec9f804024a596acc810  appears that there are 143 packages needs update as below:

[cid:image006.jpg at 01D6FF79.C8D227F0]
But when select the system, you find that the system is up to date like below:

[cid:image007.jpg at 01D6FF79.C8D227F0]



[cid:image008.jpg at 01D6FF79.C8D227F0]
Why ???

Thanks.

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.
