AIX comes with excellent tools for provisioning and monitoring right out of the box. HMC and NIM. Feature sets are very robust in each of those products. I highly recommend them for any AIX shop.

I have regirestered Xen host which has couple of VPS up and running. DomU were created outside spacewalk, but I can see them in Virtual Systems section. The problem comes when host is restarted. Same virtual systems get duplicated over and over again what makes this list a total mess. Here is some copy paste example: --- System Updates Status Base Software Channel Host: xen_hoster 8 Active Virtual Systems, 15 Total. (View All) vps3 Running (none) vps3 Running (none) vps1 System is up to date Running CentOS 5 Base - x86_64 vps2 Stopped (none) vps2 Running (none) vps3 Running (none) vps1 Stopped (none) vps3 Stopped (none) vps1 Stopped (none) vps1 Stopped (none) vps1 Running (none) vps2 Running (none) vps3 Stopped (none) vps2 Stopped (none) vps1 Running (none) --- As you can see there are actualy only 3 virtual systems, but the list got quite big after couple of restarts. Spacewalk is located on one of virtual systems, actualy it's "vps3". Any suggestions what could be the problem? Thanks. Best regards, Ilja Bobkevic. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:39:54 +0900 From: Tommi L?tti <[email protected]> Subject: [Spacewalk-list] config management To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Is it possible to get the configuration channel configs to apply before the last reboot of a kickstart?

Is it possible to secure directories underneath /pub with something like .htaccess? Regards, Thomas -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Greg, you'd need all of the client bits for this to work. - rhncfg-* for handling the configuration files - up2date or yum - which ever is easier to get built to pull down the rpms - rhnreg-ks/rhn_register to register the machines to Spacewalk I'm not sure if there are any server side changes needed to support AIX. Pradeep, any other thoughts on this? jesus ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list End of Spacewalk-list Digest, Vol 14, Issue 2 ********************************************* _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
