[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 2.0 unable to update clients

Fri Nov 22 14:13:21 UTC 2013

Larry, my apology on the incorrect information (rhn_check -v-v-v).. My correction is run the following on your client.. /usr/sbin/ osad -N -v -v -v.. also check to ensure your repo is correct by running the following on your client.. yum --verbose repolist. However.. taskomatic should be running on spacewalk in order for the metadata to be generated.

Previous posts may well be correct but, in my experience at 
least, the following from your log: 

Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for 
repository: epel_ol6.4_x86_64. Please verify its path and 
try again 

usually means a connectivity error.  Are you sure your 
server can get out to the 'net, and that you're pointing to 
the EPEL repository correctly?.
