Anyone have a guide/suggestions/warnings on moving my postgres db onto its own host?

Greetings -- is there a way to force a TFTP proxy to regenerate all of the configs that's easier than going through and clicking "unmanage" then "manage" for each host?

PerilousApricot: I think you can just select all hosts and then from the Select Action dropdown menu, click "Rebuild Config"

el_psycho[m]: Ahhhh, okay. I'm upgrading to the latest bugfix release, but once that's done I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

Hey guys, I've just upgraded to version 1.13.2 including my smart proxys (2 running on Windows for DHCP). Now I'm getting this error when trying to get an IP from DHCP: undefined method `key?' for #<Proxy::MemoryStore:0x0000000204bfa8 @root={}>

Any idea what wrong?

el_psycho[m]: please pastebin the backtrace from production.log. also, which version was installed before?

el_psycho[m]: also, which version is the smart-proxy?

mmoll: previous was 1.13.1 on both foreman and smart proxy. smart proxy is on Windows.

I'm getting the logs ready.

Is there a bug tracker for hammer? I can't seem to find it on tickets.puppetlabs.com

ah, thanks mmoll

mmoll: This is foreman production.log while creating a new host a requesting an IP from DHCP: http://pastebin.com/Qw8zRxcQ

I'm sharing the smart proxy log shortly.

el_psycho[m]: yup, the proxy returns a 400, so at the moment the proxy seems to be the culprit

mmoll: here is the smart-proxy.log: http://pastebin.com/kDj9qFaM

mmoll: BTW, "netsh.exe -c dhcp server 10.49.60.1" show scope works when I run it from CMD manually.

el_psycho[m]: yep.. I guess it's related to the chrry-pick of #17387

el_psycho[m]: #17387 is http://theforeman.org/issues/17387 "Bug #17387: Speed up Proxy::DHCP::SubnetService#find_subnet - Smart Proxy - Foreman"

witlessb: ^

el_psycho[m]: could you open an issue with the proxy log? http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/smart-p... - Category DHCP

mmoll: new issue created: http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/17506

mmoll, el_psycho[m]: develop and 13-stable branches are pretty different in some areas (such as ms dhcp provider), and ms provider slipped through the cracks

el_psycho[m]: I’ll try to fix this tonight

as an aside, I would suggest trying out ms dhcp from develop branch, it’s much much faster

mmoll: Thanks! I'll give that a try

Hey all - trying to reinstall foreman as foreman+katello, and the installer is failing. How can I fully remove foreman for a fresh install?

el_psycho[m], mmoll: the fix: https://github.com/theforeman/smart-proxy/commi...

Noxz2: you can use mysql safely, its supported.

Noxz2: regarding updated at, its a standard practice of rails, in theory you are correct and it should not be modified after its being created.

[redacted]

Noxz2: thats correct

[redacted]

[redacted]

[redacted]

Noxz2: which version are you running? it was optimized a bunch a couple of releases ago

[redacted]

[redacted]

Noxz2: it should be in #15675

Noxz2: #15675 is http://theforeman.org/issues/15675 "Bug #15675: reports:expire is slow and affects the performance of the application - Foreman"

[redacted]

[redacted]

Noxz2: actually, that commit is only part of 1.13

Noxz2: you can probably apply it to your setup -> see https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/commit/65...

[redacted]

[redacted]

Noxz2: if its a new install, look into using el7

its faster, and easier to support long term :)

[redacted]

Noxz2: while i get it, its just the pain of migrating afterwards...

Noxz2: also, there are unofficial builds for 1.13 on el6

[redacted]

[redacted]

Noxz2: ok, i suggest you compare the two, if you have a better one, please open an issue ;)

[redacted]

[redacted]

el_psycho[m]: aaaand fixed ;)

ohadlevy: I can open an issue, sure! Mind taking a look at what I file to make sure I'm doing it right? I'd like to see if I can verify the source of the bug you're talking about...

ohadlevy: OH I see... you're the project manager X-D

Hey everyone... I'm getting an error on my attempt to (re)install katello+foreman. I tried to uninstall foreman first, but the foreman-install process still detects my old installation. How can I completely remove foreman? Or conversely, is there another way to approach this?

anyone familiar with this type of error "Errata: Could not calculate errata status, ensure host is registered and katello-agent is installed", this is a clean install

jpavel: did you try the katello-remove script?

I did not... i'll give it a go

it's a test environment. :-D

sounds good :)

jpavel, any ideas as to what is causing this errata issue?

I don't... this is what I was seeing: foreman-installer --scenario katello --help

./usr/share/gems/gems/kafo-0.9.6/lib/kafo/puppet_module.rb:69:in `parse': No Puppet module parser is installed and no cache of the file /usr/share/katello-installer-base/modules/certs/manifests/init.pp is available. Please check debug logs and install optional dependencies for the parser. (Kafo::ParserError)

the "norma" command gave this:

You are trying to replace existing installation with different scenario. This may lead to unpredictable states. Use --force to override. You can use --compare-scenarios to see the differences

ohadlevy: Filed! http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/17509

looks like that sledgehammer got me over the hammer, thanks

I have a good bit of work ahead of me now, though. :-) thanks!

Anyone have any advice on moving my foreman database to another host?

[redacted]

anyone knows the proper method to unregister a host?

NeilHanlon: If you're just doing postgresql-to-postgresql I usually just use the postgresql migration path.
