[Spacewalk-list] Clients don't see packages after re-registration

[Boyd, Robert]

You might look at your /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf and verify that the repo(s) are actually enabled.  I ran into a couple of clients recently where someone had disabled the primary channel in the rhnplugin.

Cheers,
Robert

Hello,


I've just reinstalled Spacewalk on different machine.

It was 1.5 now it is 1.9.



I created couple of channels and repos.

After that I created Activation Keys to these channels.



For example one of this Channels is:

server-5-x86_64

repo:

5Server-x86_64

and key:

1-5-server-x86_64 that is connected to base channel server-5-x86_64



After that I installed mrepo, generated system id for all repos.

Configuration for mentioned above repo from mrepo.conf



[main]
srcdir = /mrepo
wwwdir = /var/www/mrepo
confdir = /etc/mrepo.conf.d
shareiso = yes
rhnlogin = user:pass
hardlink = yes
hardlinkpluscmd = /usr/bin/hardlink++ 2>/dev/null
plugins = 1
logfile = /var/log/mrepo.log

[5Server]
name = Red Hat Enterprise Linux $release Server ($arch)
release = 5
arch = i386 x86_64
iso = rhel-server-5.9-$arch-dvd.iso
metadata = repomd yum
updates = rhns:///rhel-$arch-server-$release

------------



Then I executed mrepo -ugvvv

After that sync to spacewalk channels.

Everything was fine. I can see packages in channels os spacewalk webpage.



Lastly I hat to reregister machines to Spacewalk.



So:



rpm -Uvh http://spacewalker/pub/rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert-1.0-1.noarch.rpm --force

and

rhnreg_ks --force --activationkey=1-5-server-x86_64



After that I can see registered machine on spacewalk webpage.

I can see, that it has 42 package updates.

But...



On that machine:



[root at systemX ~]# yum update
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or RHN Satellite.
Setting up Update Process
No Packages marked for Update



[root at www-live01 ~]# yum repolist
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or RHN Satellite.
repo id                                                              repo name                                                             status
server-5-x86_64                                                      server-5-x86_64                                                       0
repolist: 0



I've tried to remove this machine and reregister.

I didn't made any change.

It was working on previous instance of Spacewalk.



What is wrong? Did I missed something?

Do you have any suggestions?



Regards,

Jacek
