Description Kedar Bidarkar 2011-05-26 12:17:46 UTC

Description of problem:

Currently storage is under Chapter 3 : RHUI Installer , This needs to be removed from this section and moved to Chapter 2 : Installation Requirements

This Installation Requirements section needs detailed information regarding the storage part. 

I think this would help to plan the storage part for the RHUI set-up, as for huge data a separate volume is preferred. And mentioning the dir structure  in the doc is needed.

=======================================================
Storage
Ensure that you have allocated enough storage space for the RPM packages required by Red Hat Update Infrastructure.

For PULP- Server:
All the packages pulled in from the cdn or various sources are placed under /var/lib/pulp


For ALL PULP-CDS nodes:
All the associated repos will get synced with their respective CDS nodes from PULP-SERVER under /var/lib/pulp-cds

Comment 3 Kedar Bidarkar 2011-06-30 16:48:43 UTC

After the changes to the CDS section (CDS Groups in particular), re-phrasing this section is necessary.


=====================================
Storage Requirements

Ensure that you have allocated enough storage space for the RPM packages required by Red Hat Update Infrastructure.

Pulp Server : All repositories are placed under /var/lib/pulp

Pulp CDS : All the repositories are synchronized with all the content distribution server (CDS) nodes under /var/lib/pulp-cds. 
=========================================

Comment 5 Kedar Bidarkar 2011-07-06 08:25:56 UTC

I see no change with revision 1-17,
Please change it from 

All server packages are placed under /var/lib/pulp

to 

On RHUA node : All repositories are placed under /var/lib/pulp

and

from 

All associated repositories are synchronized with their respective content
distribution server (CDS) nodes under /var/lib/pulp-cds

to 

On CDS nodes: All the repositories are synchronized with the content
distribution server (CDS) nodes under /var/lib/pulp-cds


I feel the current existing sentences may confuse people new to RHUI,
as earlier we had options to associate repos to CDS, no longer we have this option. Hence the change is necessary.

Also instead of calling 'server packages' lets call them 'repositories'. I used the wrong word initially when raised this bug. Let's correct this now.

Comment 6 Lana Brindley 2011-07-19 02:29:21 UTC

<para>
	All repositories are placed under <filename>/var/lib/pulp</filename>. Create this file directly only if you need to create a new mount point for it, otherwise, it will be created automatically during the installation process.
</para>
<para>
	All repositories are synchronized with content distribution server (CDS) nodes under <filename>/var/lib/pulp-cds</filename>.
