RHEL 7 support

Open obsti opened this issue 8 years ago • 27 comments

Hello,

i have a question regarding the errata import script. I use the script and it is working great. Thanks for that. But now i added RHEL 7 to our spacewalk server and now the errata import for RHEL7 is not working (see error message below ). Do you know this failure or are the errata import scripts with RHEL 7 not working ?

The weird thing are the last 2 lines:

INFO: Detected architecture 'x86_64' for channel 'rhel7-x86_64' INFO: Listing all packages in rhel7-x86

As you can see (and configured), the channel name is rhel7-x86_64 (and that is found on spacewalk, since the architecture is detected), but then it says "Listing all packages in rhel7-x86", which is another channel name (and a wrong one ...). But: your error is in channel.software.listErrata, meaning lower in the code (but I don't see the line "Listing all errata in ..." in your logs here) When you look at my code (search for "Listing all packages") never changes the variable $opt_channel between "Listing all packages" and "Listing all errata", so maybe the code is wrong for you. Are you using a modified version? Or not showing all logs? Did you try the debug option?

Sorry I didn´t show the whole log messages.

See below or the attached logfile with the debug option.

INFO: No errata found, nothing will happen

I changed nothing on the code, so I use your original version. I think the problem is that I can´t access the RedHat Channel “rhel-x86_64-server-7”. But I don´t know why it is not working. With RHEL 5/6 it works without problems. Was something changed with RHEL 7 ?

Regards & Thanks for you help Markus

Do you have a EL7 subscription with redhat?

liedekef avatar Aug 25 '15 15:08 liedekef

I have a few RHEL subscriptions. Are there spezial subscriptions for EL7 ? Where can i check that ? Does the errata import for RHEL7 work for you ?

obsti avatar Aug 26 '15 06:08 obsti

Sorry i didn´t want to close the issue. Here my remarks again. I have a few RHEL subscriptions . Are there spezial subscriptions for EL7 ? Where can i check that ? Does the errata import for RHEL7 work for you ?

obsti avatar Aug 26 '15 06:08 obsti

I'm still on EL6 so I can't tell you the EL7 name (and no EL7 subscriptions yet).

liedekef avatar Aug 31 '15 21:08 liedekef

Do you plan to test the scripts with EL7 in the furture ? I still didn´t find a possiblity to import the errata for EL7 in spacewalk

obsti avatar Oct 02 '15 07:10 obsti

Guys, good morning.

Just one comment, the subscription is the same, when you buy a subscription, you can use EL5, EL6 or EL7.

About script, I'm really without time to test, but asap I'll try.

Take Care Waldirio

I am running into the same error when trying to clone red hat errata. Yes I have red hat subscriptions and have registered rhel 5, rhel 6, and rhel 7 hosts. No such error occurs with the CentOS channels.

Hello everyone,

are there news reagarding my issue ? I still found no possibilty to imort RHEL7 errata into spacewalk.

Regards, Markus

obsti avatar Feb 18 '16 06:02 obsti

@obsti, I got this from @jjperry69:

To find the list of channels available from Red Hat, you can use the spacewalk-api. You must have a Red Hat login with an active support agreement for the below command to work. spacewalk-api --server=xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/rpc/api --user --pass channel.listSoftwareChannels '%session%'

This API call does not return any suitable channel for RHEL7. I guess this is because redhat is moving away from RHN and starts using the RHSM with the introduction of RHEL7.

According to this article click there is no real API for RHSM available yet...

tautzie avatar Apr 01 '16 10:04 tautzie

I just tried it, and the perl script can return redhat channels just fine for xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com too, so I'll add the list of redhat channels found in the debug output (is on github now, script version 20160401). Thus, using

--rhn-server=xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com

should be sufficient to connect to the newer rhsm and get the erratas ...

Hello everyone,

I tested the new version with the rhn server option --rhn-server=xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com But the same issue the RHEL7 Channels are not listed. See debug output below.

We've got the same issue, with the RHEL7 channels not being displayed, even when using xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com authenticating with an account that does have live EL7 subscriptions.

Is this just because the xmlrpc API for RHEL7 is deprecated?

bodinewilson avatar Jun 01 '16 19:06 bodinewilson

Any solution to this?

ahmedsajid avatar Aug 26 '16 21:08 ahmedsajid

Just found this script. This looked like it would solve my errata issue with RHEL6 and RHEL7 and Spacewalk but I also am receiving the "No such channel" error when attempting to obtain RHEL7 errata.

Any word on if the XMLRPC API for RHEL6 will continue to function after July 2017 when RHN Classic is retired?

I have been using reposync to create a local mirror of RHEL 6&7 on a RHEL 7 machine. Instructions here: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/23016

ahmedsajid avatar Nov 29 '16 17:11 ahmedsajid

I've used that method before as well. I don't have any issues creating a local mirror (actually using dtmrepo) but I'd like the get the errata too.

nyromaniac avatar Nov 29 '16 18:11 nyromaniac

I'm able to get Erratas using the above method. Reposync gets the updateinfo file which has all the Erratas. You will need to patch the file because of a bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1354496

ahmedsajid avatar Nov 29 '16 18:11 ahmedsajid

The process I have been using now works quite well and pulls the errata as well. It depends on having those directories created in $BASE. The directory names match the Red Hat repo names. It is based on a process I found after doing a lot of reading on various sites.

It doesn't address the my original post on pulling the channel names from Red Hat, though. If you know the names then the script runs quite nicely including pulling in the errata.

What you do need to have to pull for other RHEL versions is a repo made in /etc/yum.repos.d that defines all of the channels. The channels shouldn't be enabled if you are not running that OS version and reposync doesn't need them enabled either to do its' work. I pulled mine from installed the target version from the RH DVD on their site, registering the host and pulling the repo file.

The key here is taking getting the updateinfo.xml.gz file into the repodata directory in the repo created from the reposync pull. Then it is linked into the repo so the errata data is available.

#!/bin/bash

This is designed to replace the manual steps of rhnpush and running an

errata

sync script for Red Hat repos since that meta data can be pulled

+jjperry69 What a refreshing change to read a thread about spacewalk rhel7 errata that is based on someone using it on rhel7 and getting it to work. However now is where I demonstrate my ignorance by asking stupid questions. (I guess the questions are related)

  1. Your script has "for each in $repo_path" what is $repo_path, it does not appear to be defined in the script.
  2. You refer to BASE="/iso_in". Perhaps the "iso" bit is what is confusing me, but what exactly is "iso_in"

I have used "reposync --gpgcheck -l --repoid=channel-id --download-metadata --downloadcomps " of channels and sub channels to generate several rpm repositories. Channel-id are in the format "rhel-7-server-rpms" "rhel-7-server-optional-rpms" etc. It creates separate folder repositories for each channel. Each folder contains A directory called "Packages" containing just RPMS (which I can "rhnpush" into spacewalk" *1) A "comps.xml" file A "productid" file A "XXXXX-updateinfo.xml.gz" file. where XXXXX is a 64(?) hexadecimal number. I have not read anything online about this file.

*1(rhnpush -v --channel=my-custom-channel --server=http://localhost/APP --dir=dir_of_packages) Thank you again for posting your script.

Hi all, sorry my script is doing it not ok for EL7, but redhat doesn't make life easier. If using dtmrepo one could also get the updateinfo.xml.gz, I could adapt the script for this (it supports updateinfo.xml.gz parsing already).

I have written script which syncs CentOS7, RHEL6 & RHEL7 including erratas.

Actually I have something working (based on jjperry69 script). Just need to thoroughly test it. thanks for the replies. (liedekef, please don't apologize ...we are all in this together, and are helping each other out)

Just to quickly address your two questions, for those that may have them but didn't ask.

  1. I seem to have excluded the lines below in the script I posted above. It should have these lines under the GZIP variable definition.

    Find the list of Red Hat repo names

    repo_path=find $BASE -type d -name $GLOB

  2. The BASE="/iso_in" setup refers to the mount point / directory where I have setup the directories (redhat5, redhat5-ia32, redhat6 and redhat7). Under this directory structure I have the channel names (such as rhel-5-server-rpms).

So in my setup there are directories like /iso_in/redhat7/rhel-7-server-rpms and /iso_in/redhat7/rhel-7-server-optional-rpms.

In summary the $BASE is where you are putting the repos you are mirroring from Red Hat.
