Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 492949
Trees from new satellite-sync are not synced to Cobbler
Last modified: 2009-09-10 15:24:52 EDT
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 Additional info:
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.
restarting taskomatic seems to solve the issue. Going to see what the issue is to not require a restart.
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.
commits: ff70d7382b5052aa7973eed1dcb358d668b5599a bd0277099fe26cc367b2a86b97d597d819c59c56 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.
VERIFIED on 5/7 ISO.
release pending 7/24 stage ISO https://sun-x4200-01.rhts.bos.redhat.com/ followed steve's test plan and was able to satellite sync without errors.
