The cobbler server must also be RHEL5 (so it can use yum_rhn_plugin). You'll see the core of this is essentially just /usr/bin/reposync -r rhel-i386-server-5 --download_path=/tmp/foo So that may prove easier for testing. Perhaps the server isn't entitled for that channel? Better tools need to exist -- no doubt -- surfr should be providing a more comprehensive solution soon -- shortly after we get virt-factory 0.0.3 out of the way. > # cobbler repo add --name=rh5basex86 --mirror=rhn://rhel-i386-server-5 > # cobbler report > repo : rh5basex86 > mirror : rhn://rhel-i386-server-5 > keep updated : 1 > local filename : > rpm list : > # cobbler reposync > - /usr/bin/reposync -r rhel-i386-server-5 > --download_path=/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror > - symlink: /var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/rhel-i386-server-5 -> > /var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/rh5basex86 > No Repositories Available to Set Up > - creating: /var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/.origin/rh5basex86.repo > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line > 636, in main > BootCLI(sys.argv).run() > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line > 110, in run > self.curry_args(self.args[1:], self.commands['toplevel']) > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line > 465, in curry_args > commands[args[0]](args[1:]) > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line > 495, in reposync > self.api.reposync() > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/api.py", line 137, in > reposync > return reposync.run() > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/action_reposync.py", > line 65, in run > self.do_reposync(repo) > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/action_reposync.py", > line 176, in do_reposync > temp_file = self.create_local_file(repo, temp_path, output=False) > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/action_reposync.py", > line 231, in create_local_file > config_file = open(fname, "w+") > IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: > '/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/.origin/rh5basex86.repo' > # > # rpm -qa | grep -i cobbler > cobbler-0.4.8-1 > > Greg Caetano > HP TSG Linux Solutions Alliances Engineering Chicago, IL > 773-281-8129 > greg.caetano@xxxxxx > Red Hat Certified Engineer > RHCE#803004972711193 > -----Original Message----- > From: et-mgmt-tools-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:et-mgmt-tools-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael DeHaan > Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2007 10:16 AM > To: Fedora/Linux Management Tools > Subject: Re: [et-mgmt-tools] Has any one managed to get cobbler and > rhn toplay nice? > > Marc Mondragon wrote: > >> A month or so ago I tried to get this working (w/ Michael's help btw) >> for my RHEL 5 subscriptions but I was unable to.
