@irj said in Anybody using Red Hat satellite?: @stacksofplates said in Anybody using Red Hat satellite?: 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 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?

@DustinB3403 said in Red Hat Welcomes Ubuntu to the Cool Kids Gnome Club: 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.

@coliver said in Red Hat Virtualization Announced, Rebranding RHEV: @scottalanmiller said in Red Hat Virtualization Announced, Rebranding RHEV: @coliver said in Red Hat Virtualization Announced, Rebranding RHEV: 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.

@dafyre said: @johnhooks said: @scottalanmiller said: @johnhooks said: @dafyre said: 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.

@dafyre said in Linux: YUM Package Management: @scottalanmiller said in Linux: YUM Package Management: @NerdyDad said in Linux: YUM Package Management: 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.

This is interesting as not too long ago Red Hat made a major effort to integrate Puppet inside of their Satellite product.

+1 for primary application platform on Ubuntu. If you mean what I think you mean, I use Centos for General server stuff, basically a server that can handle anything or can be more than 1 thing, however for Ubuntu and cause of the snaps, I use Ubuntu for specific roles like : File server Or RockChat server For specific purpose roles.

I really wish that I could easily be on Linux 100% instead of Mac OSX, but I'll never learn Mac OSX well if I don't stick to it I do have VirtualBox 5 running the latest Linux Mint 17.2 on it and that runs pretty well. But type 2 VMs are just never snappy like a native desktop is

@scottalanmiller said: You can deploy Cockpit to CentOS too. Red Hat just moved it to "default install" in Fedora before it went to CentOS. Good to know. Will have a hunt on Monday have a play oh and of course "Do some Work"

Highlights: Fedora Server Database Server Role. The Fedora Server edition focuses on easy of different server roles. Fedora 21 debuted with an Domain Controller Role featuring FreeIPA. For this release, we’ve added a Database Server role, built around PostgreSQL. Default to XFS filesystem. The default file system type for Fedora Server installs will be XFS running atop LVM for all partitions except /boot. The /boot partition will remain a non-LVM, ext4 partition due to technological limitations of the bootloader. Cockpit will be compatible between OS releases. Cockpit is a server manager that makes it easy to administer your GNU/Linux servers via a web browser. Easy to use. Cockpit is perfect for new sysadmins, allowing them to easily perform simple tasks such as storage administration, inspecting journals and starting and stopping services. No interference. Jumping between the terminal and the web tool is no problem. A service started via Cockpit can be stopped via the terminal. Likewise, if an error occurs in the terminal, it can be seen in the Cockpit journal interface. Multi-server. You can monitor and administer several servers at the same time.

@ryanov said: Part of this is not correct. RHEL releases as often as not do not directly correspond to a specific Fedora release. I stumbled upon this myself when I tried to use Fedora packages in RHEL for some things (using packages for the same release of Fedora that the RHEL release was based on). Neither RHEL6 nor 7 was based on a single Fedora release: https://access.redhat.com/articles/3078 True, they are starting to base it less closely now that Fedora has some additional testing that RHEL doesn't want to role in. SystemD is part of what caused this to change in RHEL 6. It's basically the same, still. Even if they based off of Fedora initially, it eventually skews as Fedora stops getting updates many, many years before RHEL does.
