Resolve Satellite sync issues (missing channel)

ISSUE:  If you are seeing

[root@rhnsat01 API]# cat /var/lib/rhn/tasko/org1/repo-sync-bunch/repo-sync_1955662_err
2013-04-14 04:00:00,080 [DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-5] ERROR com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.task.RepoSyncTask  - No such channel with channel_id 589
2013-04-14 04:00:00,081 [DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-5] ERROR com.redhat.rhn.taskomatic.task.RepoSyncTask  -

It is apparently telling you that a channel that was scheduled for a repo sync is no longer available (which implies it was once available on your Sat)

NOTE: the channel ID is 589 from the error.
[root@rhnsat01 API]# cat deleteScheduleSync.py 
#!/usr/bin/env python
import xmlrpclib

SATELLITE_URL = "http://rhnsat01.corp.com/rpc/api"
SATELLITE_LOGIN = "satadmin"
SATELLITE_PASSWORD = ""

client = xmlrpclib.Server(SATELLITE_URL, verbose=0)

key = client.auth.login(SATELLITE_LOGIN, SATELLITE_PASSWORD)

# CHANGE THINGS AFTER THIS LINE
result = client.taskomatic.org.unscheduleBunch(key, 'repo-sync-1-589');
# CHANGE THINGS BEFORE THIS LINE

client.auth.logout(key)

Sun USS 7100 foo

TIP: put ALL of your LUNs into a designated TARGET and INITIATOR group when you create them.  If you leave them in the "default" group, then everything that does an discovery against the array will find them :-( I'm struggling to recognize a reason that a default should even be present on the array. Also - who, exactly, is Sun trying to kid.  The USS is simply a box.. running Solaris .. with IPMP and ZFS.  Great.  If you have ever attempted to "break-in" or "p0wn" your IBM HMC, you know that there are people out there that can harden a box - then.. there's Sun.  After a recent meltdown at the office I had to get quite intimate with my USS 7110 and learned quite a bit.  Namely: there's a shell ;-) My current irritation is how they attempt to "warn you" away from using the shell (my coverage expired a long time ago to worry about that) and then how they try to hide things, poorly. I was curious as to what version of SunOS it ...

"Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Could not connect: No such file or directory (g-io-error-quark, 1)"

"Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Could not connect: No such file or directory (g-io-error-quark, 1)" One issue that may cause this to arise is if you managed to break your /etc/fstab We had an engineer add a line with the intended options of "nfsvers=3" but instead added "-onfsvers=3" and it broke the system fairly catastrophically.

PXE boot a LiveCD image

Summary: I have wanted to build a kickstart environment which hosted a "rescue CD" or LiveCD to allow you to boot over the network after you blew your stuff up and needed to repair a few things.  Today I have worked through a method of doing so, with the help of the people who published a succinct script with the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor.  (the script will be at the bottom of this post - if I have somehow not followed the GPL, please let me know and I will correct whatever is necessary) NOTE/Warning: The boot will fail due the initrd being too large (645mb).  I'm not sure how to proceed.  This procedure worked for RHEVh, because it is quite a bit smaller.  Hopefully I can report back with progress on this? :-$ Procedure: download your LiveCD image to /export/isos/RESCUE/Fedora-16-i686-Live-Desktop.iso # cd /var/tmp # vi livecd-iso-to-pxeboot (populate the file with the script shown below) # chmod 754 ./livecd-iso-to-pxeb...
