Ah, I didn’t realize there was a “machine-id” file. Just for future reference for anyone else who might run into this:

 

/etc/machine-id

 

This needs to be unique across all servers. If you clone a server (like we did), you’ll have to remove this file and recreate it:

 

rm /etc/machine-id

systemd-machine-id-setup

Hi Jamen

 

First of all, try to check if the machine ID for it is duplicated for any other registered clients

I’ve got an oddity that I am having trouble figuring out. One of our servers is not listed on the Uyuni web admin site, but there’s a Salt ID for it. I’ve deleted it multiple times, but it keeps reappearing, even after rejecting it and deleting it. What I am trying to do is to remove any instance of this server from Uyuni and then re-add it – hoping that a clean install will take care of this issue. Ideas?
