January 2014 - katello - Fedora Mailing-Lists

by Rich Loring

I am just starting out with katello and have got as far as adding a client to my katello server. However when I try to add or remove packages from katello on the client subscribed it will not add or remove the packages requested. I have a scientific linux repository sycing to katello on a daily basis and the client system is subscribed to that repository. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Once these subscriptions are bound to the host, an additional four "bonus" subscriptions will be generated and appear in katello's subscription list. These bonus subs may only be consumed by VM guests running on that specific host. (This host-to-guest mapping is done by virt-who.) With your four subscriptions, this means that you may have four physical hosts each running up to four VM guests. These subscriptions are not stackable, if I recall correctly, so you cannot have a single host system with 16 VMs. https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Subscription_A... _______________________________________________ katello mailing list katello(a)lists.fedorahosted.org https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/katello

Katello 1.3 License Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server, Premium (1-2 sockets) (Up to 4 guests) virtual machine vmware

by REYNALD chekhina

Hello, I have 4 licence Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server, Premium (1-2 sockets) (Up to 4 guests) so normally I can go up to 16 vms registered but I can just register 4 vms. !? I have search on google and I have found information that candlepin can create link between esx host and vms with virt-what and uuid of vms. Do you know if it's possible and how can i do it on katello 1.3 ? Thanks in advance

Using katello with a proxy

by Paul Dwerryhouse

Hi all, I'm trying to make katello use an http proxy to do repo discovery, but I'm not having any luck. Firstly, I have configured it with: katello-configure --user-pass=XXXXXXX --proxy-url=http://x.x.x.x --proxy-port=8080 ...and then, after scouring possibly everything I could find about this topic, I have put the following in /etc/pulp/server/plugins.conf.d/yum_importer.json and restarted httpd { "proxy_url" : "http://x.x.x.x", "proxy_port" : 8080 } (This taken from here: http://pulp-rpm-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/recipes.html#use-a-p...) pulp.log showed the following error: "The configuration parameter <proxy_host> is required when any of the following other parameters are defined: proxy_password, proxy_port, proxy_username." ... so I then changed the file to: { "proxy_host" : "http://x.x.x.x", "proxy_port" : 8080 } ...and while those errors are now gone, it still won't talk to the proxy. Running tcpdump when I run the Yum Repo Discovery function indicates that the server is still trying to access the repository directly, which won't work here, because this server needs a proxy. This is running on a Centos 6.5 system, using katello 1.4.15 as pulled down by following the instructions here: https://fedorahosted.org/katello/wiki/Install Any ideas?

Katello and non rpm content

by Michael.OBrien

Hi Katello Users, I checked out the video's and documentation about katello and some follow up presentations about pulp but I was hoping I could ask this community firstly if it's a suitable use of katello and secondly if its possible. My background wouldn't be strong in structured management of system lifecycles but its an area I hope to improve on so forgive any basic misunderstanding in advance. I understand pulp supports custom content types besides rpm's (puppet modules for example) but I was wondering if there was much use of katello (through pulp) to ensure static content like directories of files e.g. txt or pdf's are kept up to date on client systems but still make use of the lifecycle features of katello to move from dev, test to production and have change control over the content. Would the recommendation be * To create a git repo for this content and sync that with pulp using katello ? Or * Use other puppet modules to sync the static content and wait until katello is available as a plugin for foreman to handle the progression through the life cycle stages The example use case I would give would be web servers running a flavour of a CMS but where content like images and txt config files need to be stages in additional to the LAMP rpms.

Katello not configuring foreman

by zak.herner＠anixter.com

Did in install of Katello on a fresh RHEL 6.5 box last week. Been trying to follow the documentation but it seems to be missing some information. First problem was with foreman-proxy. I was not able to setup the smart proxy due to an issue with /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.yml having the port set to 8443. Candlepin/tomcat is already consuming port 8443 after installing katello. I couldn't find anything about port conflicts in the logs, perhaps I wasn't looking in the right places. Once I changed the port for foreman-proxy to another port I was able to add the smart proxy. Problem two is my puppet master was never configured. I don't see a configuration for the puppet master in /etc/httpd/conf.d It looks like there is a puppet master manifest at /usr/share/foreman-installer/modules/puppet/manifests/params.pp, I would assume that this was supposed to be run by the katello installer. Is there a way to run the puppet manifest to install/configure the puppet master? Can someone provide the command and syntax? I didn't have any errors in /var/log/katello/katello-configure/main.log, not sure if my katello install experience is typical? Did I get unlucky or are these known issues?
