Full Discussion: Distribute packages to other client machines using yum

Hi,

Only the two managment servers are registered.... jdcumgt01 (x86_64 x86_64 x86_64) and jdcumgt02(i686 athlon i386). The other servers in the network should be configred and able to update from both the management servers depending on their architecture.

Example - I would like to upgrade Apache

I have just ran the following on the management server
[root@jdcumgt02]# yum update httpd

It finds the latest Apache version and dependencies, I download and Apache is installed.

I would now like to use yum to update Apache on one of the servers on my network from the management server jdcumgt02 however it does not detect the update or latest version of Apache.

Server configuration (non management server)

Code:
 
[root@hostname yum.repos.d]# more localproxy.repo
[localproxy]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://jdcumgt02.xxxxxxx.xxx.xx
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
[root@hostname yum.repos.d]#


Code:
 
[root@hostname /]# yum list updates | grep httpd
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.
httpd.i386                             2.2.3-31.el5_4.2               localproxy
httpd-manual.i386                      2.2.3-31.el5_4.2               localproxy


Can you advise how I upgrade Apache on this server from the management server. How do I get it to detect the latest Apache version on the mamagement server and upgrade Apache.


The other problem I have is the other management server has the following error when I run yum list updates

Code:
 
[root@jdcumgt01 yum.repos.d]# yum list updates
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
file:///opt/localrepo/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/localrepo/repodata/repomd.xml'
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: localrepo. Please verify its path and try again

Any ideas how this can be fixed?

Thanks

yum-debug-dump

yum-debug-dump(1)														 yum-debug-dump(1)

NAME

       yum-debug-dump - write system RPM configuration to a debug-dump file

SYNOPSIS

       yum-debug-dump

DESCRIPTION

       yum-debug-dump is a program which creates a gzipped file containing a lot of information useful to developers trying to debug a problem.

       By default it will output a file to the current working directory named yum_debug_dump-<hostname>-<time>.txt.gz. This file contains no pri-
       vate information but does contain a complete list of all packages you have installed, all packages available in any  repository,  important
       configuration and system information.  You can view this file using the 'zless' command.

       You can use the coresponding program yum-debug-restore to act on this file and restore a set of packages (much like dump/restore).

FILES

       As  yum-debug-dump  uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like which
       repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/

SEE ALSO

       yum-debug-restore (1)
       yum.conf (5)
       http://yum.baseurl.org/

AUTHORS

       See the Authors file included with this program.

BUGS

       There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on  http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq  and	if
       unsuccessful  in  finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org.  To file a bug use http://bugzilla.redhat.com
       for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
