Hi everybody, we have planned to introduce queue for offline machine in symbolic. Following this direction it's easy to implement because we have a database where we could store information. If this is a feature that everybody need (i think yes) we could move our implementation on func layer. At the moment I don't have an idea to solve queueing for offline machine. What we surely need is a place to remember operations you have tried to run! We can suggest a complete integration with symbolic that also has an xmlrpc server and database; so from cli or inside python script you could call it to queue your operation, but maybe is not the best solution. We will think to this. bye Marco -- msg. originale -- Oggetto: Re: Standing orders queue Da: Michael DeHaan <mdehaan@xxxxxxxxxx> Data: 06/10/2008 21:39 Michael DeHaan wrote: > It would be nice to have a way to issue offline orders to minions so > they could check in when they come online (via XMLRPC) and then see if > they have any orders. > > This is the other mode of communication we would like to support in > order to enable Func to replace OSAD in Spacewalk. > > For example, "this node should yum update the next time I see it" is > different from "this node should update now if it's online". > > Anyone have any thoughts on implementations? > > --Michael > > _______________________________________________ > Func-list mailing list > Func-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/func-list To elaborate, basically with what we have here and also the new cobbler "config file templating" feature, we have the makings of a much easier to understand config management tool, all in Python, and all very easy to understand. This could be the beginings of "RRS" (remote rocket surgery) built on Cobbler+Func. (See also recent Cobbler integration). We just need a way to address offline nodes, basically. --Michael _______________________________________________ Func-list mailing list Func-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/func-list _______________________________________________ Func-list mailing list Func-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/func-list
