Description of problem: If I go to schedule the reinstall of a registered client within a 4.2 or 5.0 (in QA Satellite -20 ISO version) where the OS is the same, so no change in OS, such as RHEL 4 AS -> RHEL 4 AS - and after selecting the kickstart profile I wish to use, hit the 'Advanced Configuration' button to get to the Advanced Kickstart Configuration section, and then choose: Sync Package Profile: With system's existing package profile And hit 'Schedule Kickstart and Finish' the resultant kickstart session shows on the right side: Sync system to package profile Where 'package profile' has a link to - /network/profiles/details.pxt?prid=1 which when you then click on it and then 'packages' goes to /network/profiles/package-list.pxt?prid=1 and states: The following packages are associated with this stored profile. No packages in this profile. So, even if I let the kickstart proceed, which I did the kickstart sucessfully picks up the request to sync package profile, but because it is empty, nothing useful happens. This creation of packages into the package profile needs to occurr successfully for systems using kickstart profiles who wish to reinstall a system, keeping the same registration and ensure it is reinstalled with the same package set. Creation of this bug was due to a review of this code path/usage of Satellite kickstart due to question posted on rhn-satellite-users list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/private/rhn-satellite-users/2007-April/msg00028.html Keeping this bug report public and placing under rhn 500 Satellite triage for main developer review. Cliff.
The following patch seems to do the trick -- populating that newly created profile: Index: java/code/src/com/redhat/rhn/manager/kickstart/KickstartScheduleCommand.java =================================================================== --- java/code/src/com/redhat/rhn/manager/kickstart/KickstartScheduleCommand.java (revision 115103) +++ java/code/src/com/redhat/rhn/manager/kickstart/KickstartScheduleCommand.java (working copy) @@ -538,7 +538,7 @@ retval = ProfileManager.createProfile( ProfileFactory.TYPE_SYNC_PROFILE, this.user, this.server.getBaseChannel(), pname, pname); - + ProfileManager.copyFrom(this.server, retval); } // Profile of 'stored profile' else if (profileTypeIn.equals(TARGET_PROFILE_TYPE_PACKAGE)) {
Based on Cliff's not in bug 236379 comment 2, I've committed the fix to SVN, trunk, revision 115155. Taking over this bug for possible kickbacks, Mike, shout if you want to keep it.
Moving ON_QA with 5.0.0-26 ISO available.
verified
Looks good on Stage-verified Satellite; moving to RELEASE_PENDING.
Closed for Satellite 500 Release.
