Chris, I recommend you look into: - Spacewalk: Centralized system management utility ( http://spacewalk.redhat.com/) - Errata update tool: https://github.com/mike-wendt/spacewalk-centos-errata - CentOS repos do not include the errata information in the repo itself (EPEL does include errata info in its repos), so others have created external tools that pull errata

I am a little new to managing large numbers of CentOS/RHEL servers and was wondering what you experienced sysadmins prefer, Spacewalk or Puppet?

Hi Everyone, Since Satellite 6 is an amalgam of other F/OSS projects and is no longer solely based on Spacewalk, is a new upstream project for Satellite 6 going to be created? BEtter yet, is a new upstream project already available? Ranbir -- Kanwar R.S. Sandhu

We have a DHCP/PXE server in a build environment, which is separate from our Spacewalk v1.5 server. We direct builds to Satellite or Spacewalk based as needed. It contains initrd & vmlinuz files for each version/arch we currently deploy for both RHEL & CEL. I'd like to keep the storage footprint to a minimum, if possible. Keeping a big directory of ISOs to loop-mount for kickstart

I have a mix of CentOS 5, 6, and now 7 servers at work. There are enough of them now that it is starting to make sense for them to get updates from an internal source. I've seen RHN Satellite in years past. It looks like it may be a way to allow Windows admins here (familiar with WSUS) to update Linux boxes. A local repo might be easier to set up, but (as with Spacewalk) it seems like

Hi I have been trying to get puppet working with kickstart. I am trying to install Hadoop on the nodes. Installing puppet from kickstart work and when the machine restarts, certificates are pulled down and hadoop user is created and files are extracted. I want all the user creation etc to be done before the machine reboots so that I can set up init.d scripts to do a start of hadoop . So I

Hello, I have been asked to come up with a strategy for centralized patch management of our linux servers. Today, this is only centos and rhel. What is everyone else doing in this arena? Thanks!

Hello Everyone I'm looking into the best way to have locked version repos for my CentOS systems. The systems are all set up with Chef and have a couple different recopies/roles. I'd like to have locked version repos for each role with tested RPMs. Then perhaps quarterly apply any updates. It would be nice to have something showing which updates are available for these locked repos.

This is slightly off topic, and may just be tossing red meat to y''all, but here goes: My boss has RedHat coming in on Tuesday to give a spiel on RHN Satellite. I''m dubious, as it seems mostly like a web UI wrapped around a Yum repository system and a half-baked configuration management system. I''m of the opinion that our time and money would be better spent getting

Ansible, Bcfg2, Chef, Cobbler, Puppet, and Salt; I notice that Spacewalk is not mentioned. Any particular reason that it gets no recommendations? What about CFEngine?

Using CentOS 7.5, I can't (and don't expect) to see rhn-ssl-tool. But I was expecting to find something similar. I can't see anything in the recent RH documentation about it - I presume it was remove/changed with the move from Spacewalk to Satellite - but I presume the functionality is still required? Has something replaced it? Cheers L. ------ '...postwork futures are

Hi, I would like to contribute a howto page about the configuration of Spacewalk for package management under CentOS 5. Spacewalk is the upstream project for the source of RedHat Network Satellite. It provides a management interface for software updates across registered servers and desktops. Here is were I would like to put this page: <http://www.redhat.com/red_hat_network/>
