A weakness is Katello is a huge pain to set up. I literally used forklift to get a Vagrant box up and then used that Vagrant box as a long living VM.

We had Red Hat come out and setup Satellite for us.

Cheater :winking_face: yeah I can see why you would want that. I wouldnt want to do that myself in prod without someone there

Has potential, has anyone played with it in any way yet?

The link isn't working for me. Is it working for anyone else?

Works for me.

@travisdh1 said in Microsoft, at least they found and fixed the problem themselves this time.:

I mean, even I make sure that GPG is enabled. Guess this could be included in the "Burned by eschewing best practices" thread as well.

Are they DSS compliant? That's one of the big checks according to the STIGS. We even have to make local repos GPG check and encrypted.

@scottalanmiller said in Red Hat Open Sources Ansible Galaxy:

That's awesome. Now just waiting on Tower, too.

Thought exactly the same: Free/open Tower would be awesome.

So I found a quirk, not sure if it's an actual bug. For incremental backups to work you have to use the NFS syntax (BACKUP_URL="nfs://<server>"). If you mount the share, and then write to the local mount it won't do incremental.

Wasn't Redhat supporting KVM? Or is this the commercial version of KVM?

This is RH's packaged KVM product. KVM is just the hypervisor, not the virtualization platform (think ESXi instead of vSphere, Xen instead of XenServer, etc.)

Ah, ok that makes sense. So this is an appliance or OS version of KVM. Thanks for the clarification.

Ya kind of like how they took Gluster and made Red Hat Storage. So if you want the glusterfs-server package, it's not in the repos.....annoying.

Well I figured it out in case anyone cares. The /etc/grub.conf wasn't being copied to the /boot/grub/grub.conf file. Not really sure why, but we have a password on grub so that might possibly be it. I didn't create this kickstart, so I'm not sure what post install junk is happening that might limit this also.

Some other pluses for this are easy setup for HBAC, Sudo and sudo command priveleges (host based and user based), SELinux user maps, and easier password policy management.

Why are there two NFS servers to start with? (Just curious)

They're only 20-24 drives each. About 50TB per server. All of the engineer's home folders are on them so one isn't enough.

At some point down the road we are going to implement a clustered storage but we just don't have the time right now because of time constraints for this project.

Gluster could be done in an hour. I have how tos posted for both NFS Home Automounting and Gluster 🙂

Ha yes anywhere else it would take no time at all. We have so much red tape to jump through it's ridiculous.

Start setting up and testing a Gluster Cluster (see what I did there?)... and maybe by the time you get it set up and tested, you'll be done playing jump rope with the red tape.

The other issue is the NFS servers we have right now are applicances (was done before I got here I've only been here less than a month). We can install certain things, but too much and we might lose "support."

We have to have these inspectors come in and approve stuff if any changes are made to this network. It's ridiculous.

As of CentOS 7, DNF isn't even an option. Yum is the only thing to use.

Correct. But it has been in fedora for a while now.

Is dnf the default in Fedora now?

Yes

Everyone has been wondering what will happen to Suse and MS now.
