Uyuni 2022.04 is released!
by Julio Gonzalez 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

IMPORTANT NOTE: The release is done, but it seems OpenBuildService is a bit overloaded now, so we recommend waiting at least a few hours before applying the update, to give more time for the mirrors to sync We are happy to announce the immediate availability of Uyuni 2022.04 At https://www.uyuni-project.org/pages/stable-version.html you will find all the resources you need to start working with Uyuni 2022.04, including the release notes, documentation, requirements and setup instructions. VERY IMPORTANT: Always read the release notes! If you are updating from an Uyuni version older than 2021.06, a major upgrade procedure is required. This is the list of highlights for this release: * Salt SSH now uses the Salt Bundle * Technology Preview: Containerized Uyuni Proxy and Retail Branch Server * Reporting Database improvements * Improved image management * HSTS Enabled Remember that Uyuni will follow a rolling release planning, so the next version will contain bugfixes for this one and any new features. There will be no maintenance of 2022.04 As always, we hope you will enjoy Uyuni 2022.04 and we invite everyone of you to send us your feedback [1] and of course your patches, if you can contribute. Happy hacking! [1] https://www.uyuni-project.org/pages/contact.html -- Julio González Gil Release Engineer, SUSE Manager and Uyuni jgonzalez(a)suse.com

how to get servers to update
by McGranahan, Jamen (VU) 27 Apr '22

27 Apr '22

Alright, I am closer to getting Uyuni set up the way we want it. Now, how can we get our servers that are registered to update through Uyuni? I was only given a option to schedule the update, so I picked as soon as possible, but they are all waiting and I do not know why: [cid:image001.png@01D85422.7C84AA40] Jamen McGranahan Associate Director of Library Technology & Digital Services Jean and Alexander Heard Libraries, Vanderbilt University 615-343-1614 | jamen.mcgranahan(a)vanderbilt.edu<mailto:jamen.mcgranahan@vanderbilt.edu> he/his/him [cid:image002.png@01D85422.7C84AA40]

Uyuni erroneously reports packages need to be updated?
by McGranahan, Jamen (VU) 25 Apr '22

25 Apr '22

Sorry all, but here's another problem I have run into. My Uyuni interface is reporting 8 packages that need to be updated on this server, yet when I try to run the update, I get the error that there are no packages found. So on the server itself, when I run "yum update", I get "No packages marked for update". So why is Uyuni reporting there are packages that need to be updated?

Create vms with VmWare - possible?
by Simon Avery 25 Apr '22

25 Apr '22

Hi Quick question: Can Uyuni provision new VMs using VmWare, or is that functionality restricted to Xen and Kvm? Background: We have a VCenter cluster running our vms. By following the documentation here<https://www.uyuni-project.org/uyuni-docs/en/uyuni/client-configuration/virt…>, I've successfully added Vsphere as a VHM and it's populating correctly. (Thanks for the bugfix in the new Uyuni version that now does correctly display the Virtualization tab that allowed me to get further than last time I tried this) But the "Create Guest" link as mentioned in the docs is absent. Elsewhere in the official docs it does say For VMWare, including VMWare vSphere, and Nutanix AHV, Uyuni requires you to set up a virtual host manager (VHM) to control the VMs. This gives you control over the hosts and guests, but in a more limited way than available with Xen and KVM. But I've also found this on some unofficial documentation here<https://infallible-goldberg-3dc8f3.netlify.app/uyuni/master/advanced_topics…> that seems to give more specific guidance Autoinstalling and managing {vmguest}s via Uyuni is limited to {xen} and {kvm} guests. Thanks, Simon

Public key not installed?
by McGranahan, Jamen (VU) 22 Apr '22

22 Apr '22

OK, I am getting so close to having a fully operational centralized package management system. Just need to figure out this one last issue (I hope). After removing some of the old spacewalk packages, and then re-attach the servers to Uyuni, I am now seeing this message when trying to update the packages - both within Uyuni and on the server itself when I run yum update: Public key for python2-hwdata-2.3.5-5.1.uyuni.noarch.rpm is not installed What am I missing?

sync autoinstall snipped folder with git repo
by Heiner Wulfhorst 22 Apr '22

22 Apr '22

Hi List, we are storing autoinstall snipped files (/var/lib/cobbler/snippets/spacewalk/1/) in a Azure DevOps (git) repo. In ADO we trigger a pipeline on every push to master. This pipeline can copy files from repo to our uyuni server using ssh, execute a script on uyuni server, and various other tasks. I did not find any information regarding git versioning of uyuni files/folders online, so i am curious: How do you do jobs like this? Local Repos on uyuni server? Is there already any plan to implement git support in uyuni for cases like this? Or would a feature request be helpful? Thanks, BR Heiner
