Hi Jeremy
I am talking about spacewalk client state - the icon itself is not
important (but of course it directly corresponds to client system type).
The question is, why the virtual spacewalk client (which was
re-registered second time with server) is marked as "standalone system"
(I cannot see "Virtual UUID" field in client properties and so on)
instead of "virtualized system" as it was determined by server correctly
during first registration.
maybe someone is able to reproduce this with following steps:
- remove/delete virtualized client from spacewalk (i.e. via Web GUI)
- and just try to re-register client system same way like first time,
but also with "--force" parameter as well
yes, there is no impact/degradation between the system states for me (I
can use all functions that I am wanted to do), but I am curious what is
different in second time than the first time because this behavior is
same as when I tested it several years before using some old spacewalk
version.
thanks

Hello again,
I will try to formulate my question another way: how the client is
detecting that if it is the virtual guest or standalone station? As I
can see from VM properties within Spacewalk, this system contain
virtualization and UUID fields. From which system resource is this
information provided from client to server?
Are you talking about the icon? I've also noticed that depending on
where you view the system it might not display the right icon. I have
a bunch of VM's all with the correct Virtualization info, that have
the right icon in the "All" systems view and get listed correctly in
the "Virtual Systems" list.
When I look at the systems list of a group however they all show the
"physical machine" icon. I've never really paid further attention to
it but that might be a bug.
I remember that I had similar problem once I've used 1.2 or 1.3
version of Spacewalk satellite.
thanks

Hello list,
I am in following situation:
- I've successfully installed and using spacewalk 1.9 with ~20
clients for some time
- I've decided to rename one of spacewalk client (paravirtualized
guest on XenServer) following way:
-- delete system entry from Spacewalk server (using classic system
deletion)
-- rename hostname (editing /etc/sysconfig/network, /etc/hosts
file) followed with restart
-- and try to re-register with spacewalk using "--foce" parameter
to rhnreg_ks
I'm wondering why you would delete a system only to have a hostname
change correctly shown in spacewalk? You can get the client to update
its system info (hostname, hardware, etc) by running the
*rhn-profile-sync* command. The spacewalk profile name (separate from
the hostname) can be changed in the webui or via spacecmd.
Regards,
Jeremy
