Plugins » Katello

I'm aware of Issue #8478 and have tried both the workarounds listed in http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/8478#note-4

Neither of these appear to work for me however.

My test machine is rebuilt clean from PXE boot for every test, so I don't think I've got any old edits hanging around.

apologies if i missed it, but you can confirm the exact version of mongodb-server you are running?

Just reinstalled the test box again and I currently have:

[root@foreman ~]# rpm -qa | grep mongo
mongodb-server-2.6.5-2.el7.x86_64
python-pymongo-2.5.2-2.el7.x86_64
mongodb-2.6.5-2.el7.x86_64

Going to run katello-installer now (no flags given - using defaults all round). Will post mongo versions after the install as well.

Getting the same version of mongodb after installation now too:

[root@foreman ~]# rpm -qa | grep mongo
mongodb-server-2.6.5-2.el7.x86_64
python-pymongo-2.5.2-2.el7.x86_64
mongodb-2.6.5-2.el7.x86_64

Hey Duncan,

Can you upload a foreman-debug to the rsync server (instructions given at the end of the command)? and then paste here the filename.

Try foreman-debug-HDOMh.tar.xz

I opted for y at the end of the command to rsync it for me. I then tried to do it manually afterwards, but keep getting errors.

If that fails, I renamed it to foreman-debug-Duncan.tar.xz and managed to upload that one successfully.

Left 'Katello' laptop at work, so can't check until Monday. But will test that as soon as I can Monday. Will try to get on IRC too if possible.

Eric,

The mongodb test is passed now, but there are other failures in my default install. I don't remember the Katello packages being at version 2.2 last week (could be wrong). Should I close this and open new bugs to track the issue I find?

Duncan

Right, getting confused about what changes have been going on in the last week.

I checked Bug #9163 which shows install issues similar to what I now find myself facing. But downgrading puppet as suggest in that issue now gets me back to facing the issue I reported here.

I'm looking at /var/run/mogodb at the moment though - so that exists in my current install, although I can't figure if it got there because of the install that failed due to the high version number of puppet.

OK - after getting a bit misdirected by the arrival of 2.2 into the nightlies, I've amended my OS install to fetch the Katello 2.1 repo RPM:

http://fedorapeople.org/groups/katello/releases/yum/2.1/katello/RHEL/7Server/x86_64/katello-repos-latest.rpm

The install guide needs to be updated to reflect this.

Running another install now to see what the result is.

I'm still getting a failure at the mongodb point:

Is this an issue with mongod rather than Katello?

Looks like it's me being a bit dense and the Hardware Requirements perhaps needing a bit of clarification.

Reason: We split the disk into various partitions:

[root@foreman ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_root-lv_root 20G 2.2G 18G 11% /
devtmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev
tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 3.9G 8.4M 3.9G 1% /run
tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/vg_root-lv_tmp 1014M 33M 982M 4% /tmp
/dev/mapper/vg_root-lv_home 1014M 33M 982M 4% /home
/dev/mapper/vg_root-lv_var 2.0G 245M 1.8G 13% /var
/dev/mapper/vg_root-lv_pulp 32G 33M 32G 1% /var/lib/pulp
/dev/vda2 509M 104M 405M 21% /boot
[root@foreman ~]#

Which seems to cover the 30Gb for /var/lib/pulp and the 20Gb for root that is called for. We run into problems here though because the /var provides too little space for /var/lib/mongodb (which I've now rectified)

I now run into http startup problems, but I'll log those elsewhere.

Do you want me to close this an open a new one asking for clarification in the Hardware Requirements section of the Install notes? Or deal with that in this ticket?
