Description

I migrated my postgres db off of the main server and updated all the necessary configs, however it appears that cpdb does not read from /etc/candlepin/candlepin.conf. Therefore to run this step I had to run

/usr/share/candlepin/cpdb --update --password <pass> -d"//<myhost>:5432/candlepin"

Upgrade Step: migrate_candlepin...

Updated by Pascal Pascher about 8 years ago

I encountered the same issue moving my candlepin db to a separate postgresql server (where the foreman db itself was running already). I somehow managed to get everything working again but it feels very stitched together. Are there any installer options to set the candlepin db host? Also I would like to completely remove postgresql-server from the katello vm as it is no longer needed.

Here is what I did:

- create database user 'candlepin' on postgresql server
- modify pg_hba.conf to allow access for candlepin user
- create a psql dump of current candlepin db on katello vm and import on postgresql server

vim /etc/candlepin/candlepin.conf


--jpa.config.hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/candlepin
--org.quartz.dataSource.myDS.URL=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/candlepin
++jpa.config.hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:postgresql://postgresql01.ipa.mydomain.com:5432/candlepin
++org.quartz.dataSource.myDS.URL=jdbc:postgresql://postgresql01.ipa.mydomain.com:5432/candlepin

To get foreman-installer to work I also had to modify a katello-installer file:

vim /usr/share/katello-installer-base/hooks/pre/30-upgrade.rb


-- Kafo::Helpers.execute("/usr/share/candlepin/cpdb --update --password #{Kafo::Helpers.read_cache_data('candlepin_db_password')}")
++ Kafo::Helpers.execute("/usr/share/candlepin/cpdb --update --password #{Kafo::Helpers.read_cache_data('candlepin_db_password')} -d \"//postgresql01.ipa.mydomain.com:5432/candlepin\"")

vim /usr/share/katello-installer-base/modules/candlepin/templates/_candlepin_database.conf.erb


-- jpa.config.hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:<%= @db_type %>://<%= @db_host %>:<%= @db_port %>/<%= @db_name %>
++ jpa.config.hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:<%= @db_type %>://postgresql01.ipa.mydomain.com:<%= @db_port %>/<%= @db_name %>
-- org.quartz.dataSource.myDS.URL=jdbc:<%= @db_type %>://<%= @db_host %>:<%= @db_port %>/<%= @db_name %>
++ org.quartz.dataSource.myDS.URL=jdbc:<%= @db_type %>://postgresql01.ipa.mydomain.com:<%= @db_port %>/<%= @db_name %>

Now I could upgrade without errors:
foreman-installer --scenario katello --upgrade

  • Status changed from New to Resolved
  • Triaged set to Yes

This should work now, its possible to deploy with an external database:

--katello-candlepin-db-* options

see 'foreman-installer --full-help | grep candlepin-db' for more details
