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 and spacewalk-java packages that fix several bugs 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:
- Previously, the HighAvailability and LoadBalancer channels were not available
as repositories in the kickstart profile of Red Hat Satellite. With this update,
these repositories have been added. (BZ#1154548)
- Prior to this update, low performance of the channel.software.syncErrata API
caused timeouts when using the spacewalk-clone-by-date command. The performance
of channel.software.syncErrata has been improved, thus fixing this bug.
(BZ#1220487)
- Due to low performance of errata publishing, the spacewalk-clone-by-date
command could take up to 5 hours to fully clone the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
base channel. The performance of errata publishing has been improved and
spacewalk-clone-by-date now executes faster. (BZ#1277251)
- When applying errata, the Satellite web UI displayed and incorrect number of
errata on the confirmation page. This bug has been fixed, and the correct number
is now displayed. (BZ#1271402)
- Previously, the "taskomatic cobbler-sync-bunch" command took a long time to
execute and consequently was prone to failures. With this update,
cobbler-sync-bunch has been modified to execute faster. (BZ#1274282).
- The 'cobbler buildiso --systems system-hostname --profiles "" --no-local-hdd'
command did not add headers to the isolinux.cfg file of the built ISO image.
This bug has been fixed, and isolinux.cfg is now updated as expected.
(BZ#1277385)
- On the configuration file diff event page in Satellite web UI page, a link to
a configuration file diff was missing. With this update, the missing link has
been added. (BZ#1281340)
- Prior to this update, the errata cloning process failed when the search query
contained certain characters (',"). This bug has been fixed, and the queries are
now processed correctly. (BZ#1284101)
Users of Red Hat Satellite are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix these bugs.
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
- Upgrade the errata packages. Details on how to apply this update are available
at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
- Restart Red Hat Satellite by running the following as root:
rhn-satellite start
