We are happy to announce the immediate availability of Uyuni 2021.12 At https://www.uyuni-project.org/pages/stable-version.html you will find all the resources you need to start working with Uyuni 2021.12, including the release notes, documentation, requirements and setup instructions. VERY IMPORTANT: 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 as a Bundle * aarch64 support for openSUSE Leap 15.3, CentOS 7/8, clones and related systems * System reactivation * Low Diskspace notification * Package Locking for Salt Minions * Monitoring: Prometheus Blackbox exporter * Monitoring: Formulas * Content Lifecycle Management improvement * New XMLRPC API methods for SaltKey * New product enabled * CVE-2021-40348 remediation * CentOS 8 End of Life * Future deprecation of the traditional stack Please check the release notes for full details. 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 2021.12 As always, we hope you will enjoy Uyuni 2021.12 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@suse.com

We are happy to announce the immediate availability of Uyuni 2021.12

Nice! Some good upgrades in there, it's plain everyone's been busy. Particularly interested in the salt bundle as explained during community hour, will test that soon. Sounds like a good solution to a difficult problem. Just upgraded. Went smoothly here, didn't hit the Suse bug mentioned in the release notes. Thanks to all involved. S If useful for others, my upgrade process which has worked well for the past few upgrades is pretty simple. The upgrade notes say to install patches, but that doesn't upgrade Uyuni. (Snapshot Uyuni's vm) spacewalk-server stop zypper ref zypper up (Repeat or resolve any issues until zipper happy) zypper install Uyuni-Server-release (Otherwise it wouldn't upgrade this meta package) Reboot Test

this is also the way in which the updates are carried out here. Unfortunately, the update from .09 to .12 did not work this time. The SCHEMA update could not be carried out. At the end of the log /var/log/spacewalk/schema-upgrade/schema-from-20211210-224941-to-susemanager-schema-4.3.4.log there are the following entries: ---- UPDATE 0 psql: <stdin>: 7: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "rhn_cs_repo_uq" DETAIL: Key (COALESCE (org_id, 0 :: numeric), type_id, source_url, ( CASE WHEN label :: text ~~ 'manifest _%' :: text THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)) = (1, 500, https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Stable:..., 0) already exists. ---- Reverting to the previous snapshot is the only way to start the .09 again. Is anything known about this? Regards Thomas

What channels do you have? Do you have CentOS8 client tools, and maybe another client tools for any of the clones such as Alma or Rocky? On viernes, 10 de diciembre de 2021 23:11:39 (CET) Thomas Weis wrote:

I think I see where the problem, but unless someone tan take care of it before I am back to the office, the proper fix will need to wait (I am adding Jordi on CC in case he can have a look, but no promises) The problem is: https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/blob/master/schema/spacewalk/upgrade/ susemanager-schema-4.3.3-to-susemanager-schema-4.3.4/001-centos8-eol.sql If the EL8 client tools are already added, then this fails. The fix is, however, not easy as it requires some logic so it works for everyone: 1. Check if any repo already uses https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Stable:/EL8-Uyuni-Client-Tools/EL_8/ 2. Otherwise create a repository that uses https://download.opensuse.org/ repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Stable:/EL8-Uyuni-Client-Tools/EL_8/ 3. Adjust all channels that use the repository with https:// download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Stable:/CentOS8- Uyuni-Client-Tools/CentOS_8/, to use the repository with https:// download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Stable:/EL8- Uyuni-Client-Tools/EL_8/ instead. Basically something similar to https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/blob/ master/schema/spacewalk/upgrade/susemanager-schema-4.3.3-to-susemanager- schema-4.3.4/002-use_almalinux_mirror.sql, but creating the required repository, if it's not there (for example for people managing CentOS8 only, but that never added Rocky or Alma). For now, the workaround your particular case should be: 1. At your Uyuni Server, via UI, find the repository using the URL https:// download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Stable:/EL8- Uyuni-Client-Tools/EL_8/ 2. Then find the repository using the URL https://download.opensuse.org/ repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Stable:/CentOS8-Uyuni-Client-Tools/ CentOS_8/ 3. Find all channels using the repository from step 2, and adjust them to use the repository from step 1. 4. Remove repository from step 2 5. Apply the upgrade.

Julio, at least with us there is no need to rush. If Jordi wants to take on the matter, of course, but at least I will try the workarounds you suggested and report the result here. Maybe other Uyuni users can also benefit from it and I can finally make a contribution to this great project! Regards Thomas

What channels do you have? Do you have CentOS8 client tools, and maybe another client tools for any of the clones such as Alma or Rocky?

this is also the way in which the updates are carried out here. Unfortunately, the update from .09 to .12 did not work this time. The SCHEMA update could not be carried out. At the end of the log /var/log/spacewalk/schema-upgrade/schema-from-20211210-224941-to-susemana ge r-schema-4.3.4.log there are the following entries: ---- UPDATE 0 psql: <stdin>: 7: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "rhn_cs_repo_uq" DETAIL: Key (COALESCE (org_id, 0 :: numeric), type_id, source_url, ( CASE

Reverting to the previous snapshot is the only way to start the .09 again.

Is anything known about this?

We are happy to announce the immediate availability of Uyuni 2021.12

Nice!

Some good upgrades in there, it's plain everyone's been busy.

Particularly interested in the salt bundle as explained during community hour, will test that soon. Sounds like a good solution to a difficult problem.

Just upgraded. Went smoothly here, didn't hit the Suse bug mentioned in the release notes.

Thanks to all involved.

S

If useful for others, my upgrade process which has worked well for the past few upgrades is pretty simple. The upgrade notes say to install patches, but that doesn't upgrade Uyuni.

(Snapshot Uyuni's vm) spacewalk-server stop zypper ref zypper up

(Repeat or resolve any issues until zipper happy)

zypper install Uyuni-Server-release

(Otherwise it wouldn't upgrade this meta package)
