Description Pradeep Kilambi 2007-01-27 05:03:45 UTC

Description of problem:

the older satellites < 5.0 error out when trying to satellite-sync against
hosted. Basically hosted exports the virtualization_host arch type to sats, this
would work for 5.0 sats but older ones cannot understand it and hence error out..

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

always

  
Actual results:

trace back..

Expected results:

older satellites should be able to sync successfully.

This should now be fixed, turns out kinda tricky. Basically what i have done is
add some code to check if the version of client is older than 5.0 , for this
we'll need to bump the server and sat-5.0 xml_dump_versions to 3.1 and older
clients remain at 3.0 in /etc/rhn/default/rhn_server_satexport.conf

< xml_dump_version = 3.1
---
> xml_dump_version = 3.0

We basically check if the client is older if so enable virt_filter which
basically  restricts server from exporting the virt* data from
rhnServerGroupType to the sat- client

the code is checked in subversion: Committed revision 109928


tested this with a 5.0(with client version bump to 3.1) and 4.1(client version
still 3.0) satellite against webdev(version bump to 3.1).

and now syncs seems to complete successfully on older and newer version of
satellites.
