Increase Default Config File Size
- By default, the maximum file size for configuration files is 128 bytes. If you need to change that value, find and modify the following line in the /etc/rhn/default/rhn_web.conf file:
- web.maximum_config_file_size=128
- You must also find and change the following line in the /etc/rhn/default/rhn_server.conf file to the same value:
- maximum_config_file_size=128 (or just add to rhn.conf so it's not overwritten)
- Change the value in both files from 128 to the desired value in kilobytes.
Check SSL Cert
- openssl x509 -text < /etc/jabberd/server.pem
- rhn-ssl-tool --gen-ca --force --set-common-name="newhostname"
Install Cert on Client
- rpm -Uvh \ http://proxy-or-sat.example.com/pub/rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert-VER-REL.noarch.rpm
- note: copy from /root/ssl-build
Reboot and Rebuild
- launch a reinstall using a remote command "koan --replace-self;shutdown -r 0"
Hostname - Rename Issues
- -> Stop the osa-dispatcher and jabberd service.
-> #rm -f /var/lib/jabberd/db/*
-> Switch to the oracle user and using sqlplus clear out the client and dispatcher tables.
- sqlplus $(spacewalk-cfg-get default_db)
- delete from rhnPushDispatcher;
- delete from rhnpushclient;
- commit;
- quit
- Now restart the jabberd and osa-dispatcher services
- Verify the satellite FQDN in serverURL=https://your-satellite-FQDN/XMLRPC in the file /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
Fix Cobbler Buildiso
- an older version of menu.c32, which doesn't work with the latest syslinux.
- Booting from ISO gives the error: "menu.c32: not a COM32R image"
- Copying /usr/share/syslinux/menu.c32 to /var/lib/cobbler/loaders fixes the menu.
- Rerun cobbler buildiso then boot from 'generated.iso' and should have menu.
Check RHN Client Tools
- ]# rpm -qa | grep '^rhn-' | sort rhn-check-1.0.0-87.el6.noarch rhn-client-tools-1.0.0-87.el6.noarch rhn-setup-1.0.0-87.el6.noarch
If Client is Unable to Check In
- Install rhncfg-actions (on client) and run rhn-actions-control --enable-deploy.
To Deploy Config Files Immediately on Client
- rhncfg-actions get
Check Red Hat GPG Key is Installed
- rpm -q --queryformat "%{SUMMARY}\n" gpg-pubkey

- start oracle
- [root@mysat init.d]# /etc/init.d/oracle start Starting Oracle Net Listener ... [ OK ] Starting Oracle DB instance "rhnsat" ... [ OK ] [root@mysat init.d]# su - oracle
- Check tablespace use
- -bash-4.1$ db-control report Tablespace Size Used Avail Use% DATA_TBS 3.9G 3.7G 123.3M 97% SYSAUX 500M 189.4M 310.5M 38% SYSTEM 400M 255.2M 144.7M 64% TEMP_TBS 1000M 0B 1000M 0% UNDO_TBS 1000M 856.3M 143.6M 86% USERS 128M 64K 127.9M 0%
