Description Steve Salevan 2009-03-30 21:03:20 UTC

Description of problem:
This one might or might not be a bug, but mmccune and I thought that it'd be a good idea to write up a bug on this issue to expand the discussion past ourselves.

Let's say that a user has some distro configurations in /var/lib/cobbler/config/distros.d/ that share the name of a kickstart tree that someone might sync from hosted (such as ks-rhel-i386-server-5-u3).

If a user has not synced these actual kickstart trees before from hosted and performs a satellite-sync, the Satellite will not report them as being synced upon its completion.  Furthermore, if a user attempts to access the profile creation page located here:

/rhn/kickstart/CreateProfileWizard.do

variations on the theme of the following message will appear in /var/lib/tomcat5/catalina.out:

2009-03-30 17:01:30,666 [TP-Processor7] ERROR com.redhat.rhn.manager.kickstart.KickstartWizardHelper - This Kickstart tree does not have an associated cobbler distro: ks-rhel-i386-server-5-u3

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
530-re20090327.0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add some config files to /var/lib/cobbler/config/distros.d/ that share the name of a kickstart tree from RHN Hosted
2. Sync the constituent kickstart tree from RHN Hosted
3. Visit /rhn/kickstart/CreateProfileWizard.do
  
Actual results:
Kickstart tree does not appear in available kickstart tree list

Expected results:
Kickstart tree appears in available kickstart tree list

Comment 1 Steve Salevan 2009-03-31 14:46:10 UTC

From talking to Preethi, it appears that, even on a freshly provisioned machine that has never had a Cobbler installation (and thereby no old distro configurations), trees from satellite-sync are not synced to Cobbler.

Mike McCune adds:

<mmccune-mtg> caused by busted taskomatic
<mmccune-mtg> from:
<mmccune-mtg> /var/log/rhn/rhn_taskomatic_daemon.log
<mmccune-mtg>  Caused by: 
<mmccune-mtg> INFO   | jvm 1    | 2009/03/30 11:09:01 | redstone.xmlrpc.XmlRpcFault: cobbler.cexceptions.CX:'login failed: taskomatic_user'

So, it looks like we're going to bump up the priorities, change the title of this bug to:

Trees from new satellite-sync are not synced to Cobbler

and move it over to the sat530-qa-blockers bug.

Comment 2 Justin Sherrill 2009-04-02 19:50:40 UTC

restarting taskomatic seems to solve the issue.  Going to see what the issue is to not require a restart.

Comment 3 Justin Sherrill 2009-04-03 14:50:16 UTC

removing this bug from qa blockers and putting   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490866 in its place.   


This bz is about the Description, not comment #1.  I'm addressing comment #1 in bz 490866.

now during the DistroSync process, we check to see if cobbler already has a Distro with the name we would name it.  If it exists, we simply reuse it.

Comment 5 Steve Salevan 2009-05-15 17:09:52 UTC

VERIFIED on 5/7 ISO.

followed steve's test plan and was able to satellite sync without errors.
