I am making the assumption that you are referring to the spacewalk profile
id, let say abc123 and the hostname is now xyz123:
On server/device /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid will have the abc123:
<name>profile_name</name>
<value><string>abc123</string></value>
Now you want to rename the spacewalk profile:
# spacecmd -s spacewalk.domain
spacemcd >> system_rename abc123 xyz123
Re-register/reactivate: (2 ways of doing this)
1. Via UI and Server.
GO to the server in spacewalk -> reactivation -> Generate key.
ON the server:
rhnreg_ks --force --serverUrl=https://spacewalk.domain/XMLRPC
--sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
--activationkey=key-from-gui
Validate:
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid --->
2. Write a perl/python/java script which runs on the server/device (or
you can schedule a script run to re-register with the activation key) that
does something like the following (Sorry: not the full code)
system_id = "/etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid"
rhn_cert = "/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT"
keys = sys.argv[1:]
if os.path.exists(rhn_cert):
for line in open(rhn_cert):
if "OU=xxxxx=" in line:
http_server=line.split("OU=xxxx=")[-1]
http_server=str(http_server.rstrip())
http_xml="http://"; + http_server +
"/XMLRPC"
http_server="http://"; + http_server +
"/rpc/api"
if not http_server:
http_server="http://xxxxxx/rpc/api";
if os.path.exists(system_id):
if os.path.exists(system_id):
client = xmlrpclib.Server(http_server)
keys.append(client.system.obtain_reactivation_key(open(system_id).read()))
command = "rhnreg_ks --force --activationkey=" + string.join(keys,
",")
os.system(command)
- Thanks and good luck

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Update hosts names in SP
Sent by: [email protected]

If I run rhn-profile-sync on hosts then if I click on a host in SP I see
the actual hostname.
But does spacewalk has a mechanism to update the host name in SP and set
in equal to actual hostname?
