[Spacewalk-list] rhel7 to rhel8 in place upgrade

Have any of you tried doing a rhel7 to rhel8 upgrade using spacewalk?  According to the redhat upgrade instructions you can do the upgrade without being connected to redhat, but it looks like they want you to use repos.d repo files.  Wondering if you would need to do that if you have spacewalk r

[Spacewalk-list] ansible tower with spacewalk

Have any of you tried integrating ansible tower/awx with spacewalk?  I know it is supposed to be able to work with satellite, but not sure if it will do the same with spacewalk.  If you have done this, do you have any recommended websites describing how to do it?

[Spacewalk-list] yum repolist output is odd

I just registered a group of servers with channels on a new spacewalk server and I'm seeing something odd in yum repolist - several of the channels are listing as number+number.  Any idea what is up with this? server1Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin, search-disabled-

[Spacewalk-list] spacewalk 2.10 registers servers but doesn't show patches needed

I recently moved a group of servers from our old 2.7 instance to a new 2.10 instance.  All of the channels and repositories on the new instance are identical to the old instance; however, after registering the servers to the new instance, the spacewalk web page doesn't show that any of the serve

[Spacewalk-list] unable to register base channel using spacewalk-channel

We are using a universal registration key for all our redhat servers and have then been registering them to various vase channels using the spacewalk GUI; however, I want to automate this in kickstart.  When I try to manually register a new server I get the following - # spacewalk-channel --add

[Spacewalk-list] can't create a rhel7 kickstart tree

I'm trying to set up kickstart on our spacewalk for the first time.  We have a pretty old version, 2.7.  I can create a centos kickstart tree, but when I try to create a rhel version the sync says Kickstartable tree not detected (no valid treeinfo file)Is there something special you have to do f

[Spacewalk-list] registering servers to specific repositories

We are trying to figure out how to automate registering our servers with specific repositories.  Currently, we kickstart new servers and have them register to spacewalk using a universal activation key that has no channels associated with it.  We did this so that when we create new frozen channe

[Spacewalk-list] remote command responses are really slow

We previously ran Spacewalk 2.4 and early on, we were able to run remote commands to our registered servers and they pretty much responded right away.  After a while we got to the point where almost none of the servers would respond to remote commands.  We now have spacewalk 2.7 running and I'm

[Spacewalk-list] missing packages in new spacewalk 2.8 repos

I just built a new spacewalk 2.8 repo and started syncing packages to it about a week ago. I am now trying to do some test patching of my redhat 6 servers but discovered that there seem to be a lot of missing packages.  For instance, I have a 2.6.32-642.1.1.el6.x86_64 server (6.8) that I tried t

Hi - we currently have spacewalk 2.4 running on a rhel6 server and built a new rhel7 server now running 2.7.Once everything is configured on the new server I would like to shut down the old one and bring up the new one with the old server's name and IP address.  Is there anything configured with

[Spacewalk-list] error in my syncs

I just noticed that one of my spacewalk repos is throwing this error every time a sync runs - ERROR: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'RHSA-2015:0087' Google seems to show that this is a python error.  My repos are syncing successfully.  Does anyone know what would cause this error? thanks

[Spacewalk-list] Rhel 5 optional RPMs url?

We recently inherited a bunch of redhat 5 servers and I'm trying to find a repo for optional RPMs, if one even exists. I can successfully access 5Server and 5 rhn-tools using the same URLs that I use for 6, but  https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/5/5Server/i386/optional/os and x86_6

[Spacewalk-list] running rhn_check from cron

I am looking at using spacewalk for orchestration - for instance, I want to be able to upgrade an app on a group of servers every month without any downtime.  To do this, I would need to ensure that the app installs successfully on every server within a specific time frame.  I have osad running
