How to check salt-ssh clients status through Uyuni proxy
by Bidault, Philippe 05 Feb '21

05 Feb '21

Hi all, I am able to check the status of a ssh_push registered clients by executing this command directly from the Uyuni server: salt-ssh --priv /srv/susemanager/salt/salt_ssh/mgr_ssh_id 'my_ssh_push_registered_server' test.ping However I am struggling trying to have this working for a server going through an Uyuni proxy and not registered directly on Uyuni. Do you have an idea ? Regards, Philippe. Philippe Bidault | Unix Engineer | Getronics ________________________________ M. 34617301667 | E.

Registration problems with Ubuntu 20.04 and Uyuni
by Paul-Andre Panon 04 Feb '21

04 Feb '21

Hi, I’m trying to set up an Uyuni server to replace a Spacewalk server, starting with setting up support for Ubuntu 20.04. Ideally we would like to be able to use a vSphere VM template that we can use to generate/clone new VMs, and then run a script on that new VM to customize it with the specific desired hostname, AD domain registration, and Uyuni registration. For the Uyuni registration, I started with the generated bootstrap script and customized it with an Activation Key and the Ubuntu GPG keys (ubuntu-gpg-pubkey-871920D1991BC93C.key,uyuni-gpg-pubkey-0d20833e.key) . The registration script appears to work. If I look in Uyuni’s Salt->Keys page, I see the key, can approve it and the system shows up in the system list…. the first time. On subsequent VMs however, I see the key in the Salt->Keys page, can approve them, and then after some time I only see one of the two VMs in the system list, usually the last one added. While setting up the Uyuni server and VM template, it took me a while to figure out I was supposed to use the modified bootstrap script, so I had first tried to install salt packages on the template and thought that might be the problem. I took a hint from the bootstrap script and tried to run apt-get purge salt-minion apt-get purge salt-common rm -rf /etc/salt/minion.d/ on the template to clear any salt state, cleared systems and keys on the Uyuni server, and started over creating new VMs,… with the same result. Any suggestions on what could be going wrong? Thanks, Paul-Andre Panon, B.Sc.

Topics for Uyuni community
by Donald Vosburg 04 Feb '21

04 Feb '21

Seems to me these are some topics that would carry some long-term interest: API - convert to restful Decoupling database, scheduler, salt master (moving to less monolithic structures) Enabling monitoring elements (prometheus, grafana) to be kubernetes/containers vs VM Building/rebranding the retail bits to be 'edge' tools in addition to retail

Uyuni starvation, not checking registered client
by Bidault, Philippe 28 Jan '21

28 Jan '21

Hi all, Our Uyuni infra is quite little with 90 registered clients and increasing, however since some days we notice like a starvation of taskomatic which don't seem to be able to launch SSHPush tasks and check Uyuni client status. All the registered servers are consequently shown as inactive ("System not checking in with Uyuni"). Important perhaps to mention that "push via SSH" is the registration method used for all the registered servers ( = no Salt minion installed). The only one servers not affected by this issue are the Uyuni proxies which are registered with salt-minion. We can repetitively see in the taskomatik logs this: 2020-11-22 10:21:00,500 [DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-88] WARN com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.task.SSHPush - Maximum number of workers already put ... skipping. 2020-11-22 10:22:00,327 [DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-22] WARN com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.task.SSHPush - Maximum number of workers already put ... skipping. 2020-11-22 10:23:00,173 [DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-92] WARN com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.task.SSHPush - Maximum number of workers already put ... skipping. No more info in any logs, and repositories sync is still working without issue though. Seems so that the SSHPush tasks queue is blocked at some point ? A restart of taskomatic temporarily solve the issue. I have tried to follow this https://www.uyuni-project.org/uyuni-docs/uyuni/large-deployments/tuning.html, but well, from what mentioned the doc, it should not be necessary in my case ("Tuning is not required on installations of fewer than 1000 clients. Do not perform these instructions on small or medium scale installations."), and no luck with it anyway. Any ideas ? Somebody who experienced this same issue ? Philippe.

salt-minion | libmq
by Huber, Peter 18 Jan '21

18 Jan '21

I have some problems to bootstap the uyuni salt-minion to one of our webserver because there is a conflict with zeromq. The centos machine uses php74-php-pecl-zmq, which needs libzmq.so.5. If I try to install the salt-minion: Error: Package: python-zmq-14.5.0-3.9.uyuni.x86_64 (SUSE-Manager-Bootstrap) Requires: libzmq.so.4()(64bit) Available: zeromq-4.0.5-1.9.uyuni.x86_64 (systemsmanagement_Uyuni_Stable_CentOS7-Uyuni-Client-Tools) libzmq.so.4()(64bit) Installed: zeromq-4.1.4-6.el7.x86_64 (@epel) ~libzmq.so.5()(64bit) How can I fix this?

Syncing CentOS8 kickstart on Leap 15.2 fails on treeinfo not found.

Hello all, is syncing a CentOS 8 kickstart tree (or syncing kickstart trees in general) supported on SUSE Leap 15.2 with Uyuni master?

one repo multiple channels
by Huber, Peter 15 Jan '21

15 Jan '21

Our uyuni installation should patch centos and oracle machines, so I have both kinds of machines. Some of them are using docker packages, so I configured a centos-docker repo, connected to a centos-docker channel. Now I need a oracleos docker channel, with uses the same repo. So I created a oracle channel, connected to the centos-repo, because this repo can be used for both operating systems. In the centos channel I see docker packages, but in the oracle channel I see no package. What is wrong, or how to I connect one repo to several channels? Thank you. Regards, Peter
