Hi,
some days ago I attempted to upgrade our Uyuni system again and this time I was more lucky than in the past. The upgrade path was 2020/04 on opensuse-15.1 to 2020/09 (on opensuse-15.2). The procedure is described at the end of the mail.
Since the upgrade there are two issues:
1.) During the daily sync of the repositories (SLES15-SP1 and SLES15-SP2) the system reports messages at the Web-GUI for every channel like this one:
Creating Bootstrap Repository failed Error generating bootstrap repo for: SLE-15-SP2-x86_64
"Details" show: 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: 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 synchronization of the channels seems to be successful as there are reports of new patches. The updates of the clients work fine, too.
You miss the uyuni-client-tools channel. Check https://www.uyuni-project.org/uyuni-docs/uyuni/client-configuration/clients-... for "spacewalk-common-channels" command When you use salt, you do not need them, but also some other packages which might be useful on a client are not available for you. And it will make the errors go away. Other option would be to disable the auto generation of the bootstrap repo. See https://www.uyuni-project.org/uyuni-docs/uyuni/client-configuration/bootstra...
2.) The usage of shared memory has increased significantly since the upgrade. 24 h after restart of the PostgreSQL-DB its level is nearly 2 GB which is 25%. ipcs says that this is the only process using it. Is this normal? Does the system need more memory?
Hmm, you made a big jump and I think we made some heavy changes in repo-sync. We made the import of packages now in parallel and this bring much more tasks to your server and speed up the import process a lot. This could be the reason for what you see. And more memory is always good for a database and it takes what it can get :-)
FYI - the upgrade was done according to https://www.uyuni-project.org/doc/2020.09/uyuni_upgrade_guide.pdf with these tasks in short (leaving out backup and snapshot of the system powered off):
(Enabling all repositories) spacewalk-service stop zypper ref zypper up susemanager /usr/lib/susemanager/bin/server-migrator.sh /usr/lib/susemanager/bin/pg-migrate-10-to-12.sh fast reboot
Thanks for any hints!
