Synopsis
Satellite 5.7 bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated cobbler, osa-dispatcher, satellite-schema, spacewalk-backend,
spacewalk-java and spacewalk-schema packages that fix several bugs and add one
enhancement are now available for Red Hat Satellite 5.7.
Description
Red Hat Satellite is a systems management tool for Linux-based infrastructures.
It allows for provisioning, remote management and monitoring of multiple Linux
deployments with a single, centralized tool.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- When generating ISO images using the "cobbler buildiso" command based on
kickstart profiles, the resulting isolinux.cfg file did not contain advanced
kernel parameters. For example, network parameters for booting from specific
location were not processed. This bug has been fixed, and cobbler now correctly
processes all valid kernel parameters. (BZ#1095198)
- Under certain circumstances, when scheduling errata in System Set Manager
(SSM) into a new Action Chain, an empty Chain was created. Scheduling into an
existing Chain worked correctly. With this update, SSM schedules errata into a
new Action Chain without complications. (BZ#1201719)
- This update fixes several problems that occurred when multiple errata with the
same package version were applicable for systems. (BZ#1205328)
- Prior to this update, scheduled remote command actions could remain in
"picked" status on client systems, preventing further scheduled actions from
executing. This bug has been fixed and scheduled remote actions no longer hang
on client systems. (BZ#1223473)
- In cases where freshly installed Satellite 5.7 was upgraded before creating
the first Satellite user, users were not notified that schema upgrade is needed.
This bug has been fixed, and Satellite users are now notified when schema
upgrade is required in all scenarios. (BZ#1221224)
- The Satellite schema was updated in to prevent PL/SQL errors when running the
rhn_entitlements.repoll_virt_guest_entitlements() stored procedure. (BZ#1210011)
- Previously, when registering a large amount of systems to Red Hat Satellite, a
deadlock state could occur. This bug has been fixed, and the deadlock no longer
occurs in the described case. (BZ#1226360)
- This change will have a small impact on the amount of time needed for
recalculating the cache for each server, but without holding up the general
operations of the Satellite instance. (BZ#1245540)
- Previously, updating the errata cache for a channel updated every server
subscribed to that channel in one large transaction. This could lead to long
database locks for channels with large number of subscribed servers. With this
update, calculating individual server's cache updates is now performed by the
'update_server_errata_cache' taskomatic task, which releases locks after each
server.
This change will have a small impact on the amount of time needed for
recalculating the cache for each server, but without holding up the general
operations of the Satellite instance. (BZ#1245540)
In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:
- With this update, the error message displayed after common issues has been
enhanced with a link to a page listing related kBase articles. (BZ#1222057)
Users of Red Hat Satellite are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix these bugs and add this enhancement.
Solution
Application of this errata involves updating the database schema.
For general instructions on the database schema upgrade, consult the following
document first: https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/273633
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied. To apply this erratum, take the following
steps:
- Shut down Red Hat Satellite by running the following command as root:
rhn-satellite stop
- Backup the database. For embedded or managed database variants, please consult
Red Hat Satellite 5.6 documentation. For an external database, consult your
database administrator.
- Upgrade the errata packages. Details on how to apply this update are available
at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
- Update the database schema using the spacewalk-schema-upgrade command. To do
so, run as root:
spacewalk-schema-upgrade
This process will update your database schema to the latest version. The
spacewalk-schema-upgrade command will inform you about the results of the
upgrade and exact locations of schema upgrade log files.
- Restart Red Hat Satellite by running the following as root:
rhn-satellite start
Affected Products
- Red Hat Satellite 5.7 x86_64
- Red Hat Satellite 5.7 s390x
Fixes
- BZ - 1201719 - Schedule errata into Action Chain using SSM does not work correctly
- BZ - 1205328 - Multiple Errata with same package version
- BZ - 1221224 - CreateFirstUser.do should also contains spacewalk-schema-upgrade warning if it should be run
