Help needed with creating config files for /etc/dtmrepo.conf.d/ #2

Closed ynodelman closed 9 years ago

Dear Sir,

I am new to Spacewalk and dtmrepo - we have RHEL5/6/7 Servers and I'm looking for the way to replicate repositories from redhat website and store them locally, I amd running Spacewalk 2.2 server on RHEL6 64-bit platform and was hoping to utilize this server for storing repos for all 3 RHEL releases:

as of now I created rhel7s file under

[root@server dtmrepo.conf.d]# ls rhel7s-x86_64.conf [root@server dtmrepo.conf.d]# more rhel7s-x86_64.conf [control] arch = x86_64 keep = 2

[repos] os = rhel-7-server-rpms

when I execute "dtmrepo -augfv, I get the following output:

[root@server dtmrepo.conf.d]# dtmrepo -augfv Synchronising distro rhel7s-x86_64 repo os. Generating repodata for distro rhel7s-x86_64 repo os. No files to process

Please help, thank you.

You need to initialise dtmrepo first. Please read the instructions.txt.

I did that. "dtmrepo -i" did not create any repo config files under "/etc/dtmrepo.conf.d/" folder - I am running RHEL6 64-bit OS and trying to get repo for RHEL7 64-bit OS.

Do I need to have RHEL7 64-bit server registered with redhat? On access.redhat.com website I don't see RHEL7 channel listed as one of my choices.

You will have to manually create the el7 repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d. You could just use "sed" to create a new one from the el6 repo that got generated by subscription-manager. Or if you have an existing el7 server that is subscribed, get the redhat.repo and copy it to your dtmrepo server but make sure that you disable all the repos otherwise the next time you run "yum update" on your dtmrepo server it will update it into el7.

Hi,

I was able successfully download rhel7 repos from redhat utilizing your script - thank you. Now I have a dilemma trying to generate errata for rhel7 under spacewalk 2.2 - script "rhn-clone-errata.py" does not work for rhel-x86_64-server-7 channel, any idea how I can overcome this problem?

Sorry and thank you for your help

Sorry, I didn't quite understand the problem. Could you please explain what you are trying to do.

Hi,

At this point my problem is unrelated to repo syncs. I am looking for the way to replicate erratas for RHEL7 channel from Redhat to my local Spacewalk server.
