Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1217821
All sat6 services are set to start on runlevel 2 in EL6 environments
Last modified: 2017-02-09 12:31:19 EST
Description of problem: In EL6 environments, when you list chkconfig info for the system you'll see the foreman/katello/pulp services are all set to start at runlevel 2. Network doesn't start until runlevel 3, so I expect all services to be off for runlevels 0,1,2,6 and on for 3,4,5. Here is the current output from a sat 6.1 QA box: $>sudo chkconfig --list atd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off auditd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off autofs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off blk-availability 0:off 1:on 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off certmonger 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off cgconfig 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off cgred 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off crond 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off dhcpd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off dhcpd6 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off dhcrelay 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off dhcrelay6 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off elasticsearch 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off foreman 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off foreman-proxy 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off foreman-tasks 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off haldaemon 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off htcacheclean 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off httpd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off ip6tables 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off ipmi 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off ipmievd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off iptables 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off ktune 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off libvirt-guests 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off lvm2-monitor 0:off 1:on 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off messagebus 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off mongod 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off netconsole 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off netfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off network 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off nfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off nfslock 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off ntpd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off ntpdate 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off oddjobd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off ovirt-guest-agent 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off portreserve 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off postfix 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off postgresql 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off pulp_celerybeat 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off pulp_resource_manager 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off pulp_workers 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off puppet 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off puppetmaster 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off qemu-ga 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off qpidd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off rdisc 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off restorecond 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off rhnsd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off rhsmcertd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off rpcbind 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off rpcgssd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off rpcsvcgssd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off rsyslog 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off saslauthd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off sshd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off sssd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off tomcat6 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off tuned 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off udev-post 0:off 1:on 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off xinetd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off xinetd based services: chargen-dgram: off chargen-stream: off daytime-dgram: off daytime-stream: off discard-dgram: off discard-stream: off echo-dgram: off echo-stream: off rsync: off tcpmux-server: off tftp: on time-dgram: off time-stream: off Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.0.z How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1) Install Sat6 on EL6 2) list chkconfig output with `sudo chkconfig --list` 3) Observe the foreman/pulp/katello services are all enabled for runlevel 2 Actual results: Observe a line like this one for all sat6 services pulp_workers 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off Expected results: I expected it to look the way Pulp upstream looks on EL6. In Pulp upstream I can do: 0) a fresh pulp install on EL6 1) I add pulp_workers to chkconfig using `sudo chkconfig --add pulp_workers` 2) I then list the chkconfig services `sudo chkconfig --list` 3) observe the correct line is there: pulp_workers 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off Additional info: This was discovered on a customer case where there system wouldn't boot because sat6 services were being started before networking and were preventing the systsem to boot. So there's been at least 1 customer issue related to this problem. Also I suspect it works in many places today because many init scripts have a Required-Start line like this one: # Required-Start: $network $network can be redefined, and if it is it could cause satellite 6 services on misconfigured machines to start before networking does which caused sat6 to break on the customer case. This seems to be getting set by this line in the installer: https://github.com/Katello/katello-installer/blob/master/modules/mongodb/manifests/server/service.pp
Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.
Moving 6.2 bugs out to sat-backlog.
Created redmine issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/16912 from this bug
I do not expect to see this bug fixed in the near future. The installs on RHEL6 are stable, and this does not warrant fixing that.
