Description of problem: Provisioning a system registered through proxy registers it to the satellite. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhn-satellite-5.1.0-143-redhat-linux-as-i386-4-embedded-oracle.iso How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure a Prox through the satellite. 2. Register a client through proxy. 3. Create a kickstart profile. 4. Provision the client. 5. Once the kickstart finsihes, check the serverUrl in /etc/sysconfing/rhn/up2date Actual results: see that the serverUrl is of the Satellite and not the proxy's Expected results: It should be registerd to the proxy. Additional info:
this is a regression - the kickstart profile rendered when kickstarting via a RHN Proxy should render in the RHN Proxy hostname, not the Satellite. I *think* devan or Justin *may* of already fixed this, think I remember seeing a commit on this last week. Cliff
SVN commit r136875 maybe - by Devan... maybe..
Justin and I both have no knowledge of this, but picking this up as Partha is on PTO today.
Was the proxy selected on the provisioning screen? We're unable to reproduce this and this was the only possible cause we could come up with. If that setting were missed when scheduling the kickstart the new OS would be registered against the satellite and not the proxy. Using that setting both the generated kickstart file and the serverURL after kickstart points to the proxy in our testing. Could we get QA to verify that this is an issue if the proxy is set on provisioning screen? Partha will be doing some more testing tonight against newer satellite code to make sure.
Devan, Partha I wasn't selecting RHN Proxy on the kickstart page. I do think th text Under Select RHN Proxy is misleading though. It says "You may choose to use an RHN Proxy to access the files necessary for kickstart:" I understood it as to get the kickstart files use Satellite or Proxy. Since I my client was already registered to a proxy, I expected it be registered to Proxy after kickstart whether I chose RHN Proxy or not to acess the files. This may be something you could cosider for a future release. May be adding another line of text warning that the client will be registered to Satellite or Proxy depending on your selection. Thanks
Changed the text to reflect the function of the proxy combo box.. Should be in the next push..
verified.
