[Spacewalk-list] Client machine update issue without internet

Fri Mar 14 22:21:38 UTC 2014

Ah,
sorry I forgot:
Curl - as supplied by the CentOS repos - caused major issues for me
using the https transfer of repo-data from the SW-server.
There are (were?) some serious issues with the certificate handling.
Check if you are having curl-7.30.0 in place.
If not, get:
c-ares-1.10.0-1.0.cf.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
curl-7.30.0-2.0.cf.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
libcurl-7.30.0-2.0.cf.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
libssh2-1.4.3-6.0.cf.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
from a repository near you place them in a tar, and this on the spacewalk server
and install them i.e. using:

echo "# updating CURL and LIBCURL to 7.30!"

mkdir -p /tmp/curlUp
pushd /tmp/curlUp

wget http://spacewalkserver/pub/curlUp.tar

tar -xf curlUp.tar

sed -i "s/useNoSSLForPackages=0/useNoSSLForPackages=1/g" /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date

yum -y localinstall --nogpgcheck *.rpm

sed -i "s/useNoSSLForPackages=1/useNoSSLForPackages=0/g" /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date

popd
rm -rf /tmp/curlUp

...
Worth a try.

Best

Dear Sir,

We have configured and installed  Spacewalk Server 2.2  nightly on Centos 6.5 & spacewalk client machine. All things are working perfectly fine on server side also the client side tool has been installed on server to communicate with client machine with activation key for getting updates from spacewalk server but the problem is when i stop internet connection on client machine we are not getting any updates and also when I trigger "yum repolist" command on client machine it shows  0 packages available.

My problem is what to configure on client machine so I can get all the updates from spacewalk server without internet connection.

And also let me know what to do on client machine and which file we have to check and do the changes accordingly .

It will be grateful if any one can help us in solving the issue.

Thanks and Regards,
Dhaval Oza.

Sir... How very nice :)

Are the clients registered in the gui, if so it should show what packages can be updated on the clients?

Thanks and Regards, Dhaval Oza.

Dear Dhaval,
go to /etc/yum.repos.d/
and edit CentOS-Base.repo
for every section in the file, make sure you have the string 'enabled=0'
in place.
Then do a 'yum clean all'
and a yum repolist
and it shall only list your spacewalk channels.

Best
