736629 - Kickstarted machines come up without any updates

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: CIDuty, task)

Description

[Dustin J. Mitchell [:dustin] (he/him)]

If you run 'yum upgrade', you see a whole bunch of packages from the updates repo

I think this is due to a typo in the kickstart config, but we'll need to upgrade all of the already-kickstarted hosts, too.

That didn't fix it, because I only changed the updates in the post-install section, not the kickstart.

Doing this in the kickstart itself is "hard" - http://linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2005/02/17/kickstart_updates.html?page=2 has a tool to do so, but it's not for the faint of heart.

I think we should just run 'yum upgrade -y' in the puppetize script.

John, all yours to do the upgrades on the existing machines.  I assume cssh can make quick work of that.

How can I determine the list of machines that need to be updated?

Comment 5

[Dustin J. Mitchell [:dustin] (he/him)]

It should be all of the bld-hp-centos6-* in the node list in hg.m.o/build/puppet.  Some (that have been re-kicstarted since) won't need it, but it won't hurt them.

cssh (or csshx on osx) is the tool to use here.
