[uyuni-users] Fresh Install uyuni 2020.05 Error generating bootstrap repo

Hello everyone we are configuring a fresh installation of Uyuni 2020.05 After a successful reposync of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP1 x86_64 we get an error message: Type: Creating Bootstrap Repository failed Summary: Error generating bootstrap repo for: SLE-15-SP1-x86_64 show details said: ERROR: package 'hwdata' not found ERROR: package 'python3-hwdata' not found ERROR: package 'python3-rhnlib' not found ERROR: package 'spacewalk-check' not found ERROR: package 'spacewalk-client-setup' not found ERROR: package 'spacewalk-client-tools' not found ERROR: package 'python3-spacewalk-check' not found ERROR: package 'python3-spacewalk-client-setup' not found ERROR: package 'python3-spacewalk-client-tools' not found ERROR: package 'python3-uyuni-common-libs' not found ERROR: none of 'mgr-daemon', 'spacewalksd' found ERROR: package 'suseRegisterInfo' not found ERROR: package 'python3-suseRegisterInfo' not found ERROR: package 'zypp-plugin-spacewalk' not found ERROR: package 'python3-zypp-plugin-spacewalk' not found The installation was error-free, we proceeded exactly according to the documentation.

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Error after upgrading to latest version

I was finally able to get the time to complete this process. Your instructions were great, and worked perfectly. I was able to get upgraded to the latest version, with the May release as an interim - as you suggested. Thanks!

So I will do my best, but can tell you: "yeah, this will work for sure!" :-) We have Snapshots for the different versions, they are only used for reproducing migration bugs. The last one for the server on top of Leap 15.2 is at: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Snapsh… So that means you can use a special procedure to migat to 2021.05 first: MIGRATING TO 2021.05 =================== # zypper ar https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Snapsh… uyuni-2021.05 # zypper in susemanager At this point you will have the migration script that was used to migrate from Uyuni on top Leap 15.1 to Uyuni on top of Leap 15.2 DO NOT RUN IT YET!!!!!! Edit the migration script, with vim or other editor: # vim /usr/lib/susemanager/bin/server-migrator.sh Change the line: zypper ar -n "Uyuni Server Stable" https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Stable… uyuni-server-stable To: zypper ar -n "Uyuni Server 2021.05" https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Snapsh… uyuni-2021.05 Run the script: # /usr/lib/susemanager/bin/server-migrator.sh This should take your system to openSUSE Leap 15.2 and Uyuni 2021.05, in terms of packaging. Run /usr/lib/susemanager/bin/pg-migrate-10-to-12.sh as instructed. DO NOT REBOOT YET. Check the current release notes for 2021.06 (yes), and run any manual steps documented between 2020.09 and 2021.05 (both included). Most of them could probably be skipped since they are about changing the vendor to openSUSE (and that should be done by server-migrator) but run them anyway, just in case. After all manual steps are executed, you can reboot. Check that the server is able to start, that the WebUI is loading, and then run some smoke tests, just in case (for example run a salt remote command against a couple of minions). If everything is working at this point, then you can migrate to 2021.06 MIGRATING TO 2021.06 =================== Add the Stable repository again: # zypper ar -n "Uyuni Server Stable" https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Stable… uyuni-server-stable And run the regular procedure for the migration from 2021.05 to 2021.06 So as you can see, this is doing an upgrade in two steps: 2020.07 to 2021.05 first (Leap 15.3 to Leap 15.2) 2021.05 to 2021.06 then (Leap 15.2 to Leap 15.3) I never tried this, but should work :-) > > -- > Allen Beddingfield > Systems Engineer > Office of Information Technology > The University of Alabama > Office 205-348-2251 > allen(a)ua.edu > <https://www.ua.edu/> > > ________________________________ > From: Julio Gonzalez > Sent: Friday, July 23, 2021 9:40 AM > To: uyuni-users(a)opensuse.org; users(a)lists.uyuni-project.org > Cc: Allen Beddingfield > Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Error after upgrading to latest version > > On viernes, 23 de julio de 2021 16:31:16 (CEST) Allen Beddingfield wrote: > > I have three Uyuni servers that I've updated to the latest version.

how to upload custom rpms to uyuni
by Heiner Wulfhorst 24 Aug '21

24 Aug '21

Hi list, my customer needs following RPMs on his systems: - oracle-instantclient12.2-basic-12.2.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm - oracle-instantclient12.2-sqlplus-12.2.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm Is there any (maybe hidden) form in Web UI to upload RPMs into Uyuni? Or can i upload them with scp into any special path in uyuni server's filesystem to then assign them to a channel? In uyuni reference manual i found following information: "To create a new channel, click the Create Channel link. Select the appropriate options for the newchannel, including base architecture and GPG options, then click [Create Channel]. Note that a channel created in this manner is blank, containing no packages. You must either *upload software packages* or add packages from other repositories. You may also choose to include patches in your custom channel." This makes me believe there must be a way to upload any rpm into uyuni, but i (so far) couldn't find it. I created a new (empty) software channel but only find a form to select already existing packages into that channel. Thx, BR, Heiner

Use Salt-Api externally from Uyuni
by Jesse Harris 18 Aug '21

18 Aug '21

Good day fellow uyuni users. I would like to leverage the salt-api that is used by uyuni. Currently the uyuni API does not have a method to list, accept or deny a salt-key. But the salt api does. I would like to do something like is mentioned here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19067341/using-salt-api-to-call-salt-ke… I have inspected the salt-api that is setup on uyuni and it is currently set up to only listen on the loopback interface which is easy to change. The next problem I have seems to be that the file based admin authentication does not match the admin account that I used to set up uyuni. I'm wondering if it is stored somewhere in the database for internal communication with the salt-api? Is there a safe way to get/set the password without disrupting internal comms with the api? Or is there a way to set up a second salt-api on the same box? I'm not a saltstack guru so I would love it if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks -Jesse

Hi List, i am trying to autoinstall SLES15 systems but my autoinstall distribution seems to have problems. After booting (PXE) i get a gray tui box on blue background saying " Please make sure your installation medium is available". The URL in "install" Kernel Parameter of the distro was generated automatically, i did not change it. When i try to accessit with browser i get an error message: Internal Server Error The server experienced a problem which prevented your request from being filled out. It may not be possible to execute this action at this time. Please help us correct this problem by contacting us with details of how you received this message. URLs of other Distros can be accessed w/o errors. I deleted and re-created the Distro, rebuilt the (staged/contentlifecycle) Repo, both without luck. Any hint is welcome! Thanks!

notify about staged channels that need to be synced to distribute (security) patches

Hi List, We use Content Lifecycle Management and have our systems in staged channels. To be informed about new patches for those systems we have to first sync the channels. How can we get this notification *before *syncing, so that we know when we have to sync? Or is it best to have one of each systems unstaged so we get to know about those updates? (i don't think so) Thanks, BR Heiner
