I'm trying to automate spacewalk server deployment. I stuck at creating first user. Is there any way do it non-interactively, via commandline or api? RPC seems to be unavailable at this stage so I can't use spacecmd.

The goal is automatically create development/testing environments for developing of piece of software which integrates with spacewalk. Of course I can manually create OS image the clone it and customize, but I'd like have whole process as code.

I am doing a fresh install of spacewalk 2.7, and when running

# yum -y install spacewalk-postgresql

i get error:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: cglib-2.1.3-4.jpp5.noarch (@jpackage-generic)

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
YIu could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Any clue how i should resolve this ?

Host is Centos 7.4.1708 (Core)

# yum versionlock list
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, versionlock
0:cglib-2.1.3-4.jpp5.*

After removing group_spacewalkproject-java-packages-epel-7.repo ( rename group_spacewalkproject-java-packages-epel-7.repo to group_spacewalkproject-java-packages-epel-7.repo.not.used)

Now when i run yum -y install spacewalk-postgresql

I get:

after i disable group_spacewalkproject-java-packages-epel-7.repo

and run yum -y install spacewalk-postgresql again i get:

-------------------------------------------- Further troubleshooting --------- installed :

c3p0-0.9.2.1-4.el7.noarch.rpm
cglib-2.2-18.el7.noarch.rpm

Manually by downloading to the target host, and using rpm -ivh <> to install both packages Now, when i run 

yum -y install spacewalk-postgresql

I get error:

Could not install /root/ssl-build/gss-spacewalk-2-prod.aws.uscis/rhn-org-httpd-ssl-key-pair-gss-spacewalk-2-prod.aws.xx-1.0-1.noarch.rpm at /usr/bin/rhn-install-ssl-cert.pl line 68.

This could be due to the fact that this host was a snapshot of another spacewalk server. Need to further resolve this issue...

I'm trying to add a CentOS 6.8 client to Spacewalk 2.6 to I can push out updates. In order to add the client I need to first install some packages: rhn-client-tools rhn-check rhn-setup rhnsd m2crypto yum-rhn-plugin rhncfg-actions.

When I try to install them with yum I get the following errors:

Error: Package: rhnlib-2.6.3-1.el7.noarch (spacewalk-client)
Requires: python(abi) = 2.7

I read that CentOS 6 requires python 2.6.6 and upgrading it will break yum. I tried installing python 2.7 but if I run 'python' it still points to 2.6.6. I tried adding an alias in /.bashrc and pointed to the python2.7. I tried to install again but it says that 2.6.6 is installed and I need 2.7.

I feel like there has to be a workaround for this. If there's a way to install the packages on a way to add the client without needing the packages I would greatly appreciate the help/assistance.

Thanks

I have bare metal provisioning set up with a DHCP/PXE server and a Spacewalk server.

I'm using cobbler system records to match a machines MAC address to the system profile.

Basically:

 cobbler system add --name=example --profile=example --kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/example.ks --mac=00:00:00:00:00:00

The problem is the bare metal machines obviously have multiple NICs and I do not want to worry initially how the remote hands will plug them in.

My question is how do I register a cobbler system with multiple interfaces/MAC?

How I can move a set of packages from one channel to another? I haven't found any option in the interface that'd let me do this.

My current workflow is to download the rpms, delete them from the channel (which appears to delete them from all of Spacewalk!), and then re-upload them with rhnpush. For obvious reasons this is clunky as hell. I must be missing something.

Which also makes me ask: How does one remove a package from a channel and not delete it from the entire System?
