* client registers to spacewalk-proxy jabberd * spacewalk-proxy jabberd forwards "subscription for room xy" (or something like that) to the spacewalk-server jabberd * with rm -rf /var/lib/jabberd/db/* you delete this "subscription for room xy" on the spacewalk-server jabberd * spacewalk-proxy does not now about the deleted information, does not resend the information or notify the client * the client thinks "i'm subscribed to room xy", spacewalk-proxy jabberd thinks "all ok", * but spacewalk-server jabberd does not now about the subscription of the spacewalk-proxy client and can't send messages to the client attached to the spacewalk-proxy anymore You would need to restart all spacewalk-proxy client osad services or the spacwalk-proxy jabberd to force a full reconnect. If you're using RedHat Satellite (the enterprisy Spacewalk): unfortunatly they "enhanced" the init script with rm -rf of the jabberd database... (at least up to Satellite 5.7). IMHO there were some enhancements for osad jabberd registrations Github spacewalk PR #287 and another one which I can't find right now (IMHO they run now something like http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17275_01/html/api_reference/C/db_recover.html on service startup to clean the database before starting). I think this will mitigate various troubles seen so far. None the less I try to avoid wherever possible to use the spacewalk/satellite remote commands as they have made me cry so many times. - Thomas > > > *From:*spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com > [mailto:spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com] *On Behalf Of *Thomas > *Sent:* Friday, May 13, 2016 10:18 AM > *To:* spacewalk-list@redhat.com > *Subject:* Re: [Spacewalk-list] OSAD not picking up updates > > > > Don't delete the database if you use spacewalk proxies connected to > the spacewalk server or you'll run into osad problems with clients > connected to the proxy. > > Am 13.
