Topic
Updated Red Hat Network Satellite packages that address issues using
the provisioning feature.
Description
Red Hat Network Satellite is a systems management tool for Linux-based
infrastructures. It allows for the provisioning, remote management and
monitoring of multiple Linux deployments with a single, centralized tool.
These updated packages fix the following bugs:
- Carriage return characters were erroneously being appended to
snippets, causing an invalid kickstart profile to be created. (BZ#523624)
- Snippets were not able to be used in the partitioning section of a
kickstart profile. (BZ#522526)
- The package list for a kickstart would appear truncated to only one item
if upgraded from a previous version. (BZ#527724)
- Kickstart profiles could not be created if non-alphanumeric characters
were part of the Organization name. (BZ#531059)
All Red Hat Network Satellite users should install these updated packages
which address these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains
the desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
or, for RHEL 5:
yum update
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
After installing the needed packages you will need to run:
rhn-satellite restart
