Hi
I have a list of hosts with CLASS:myclass and I have a tar file
newimage.tar file in ~hobbit/server/download dir
In my ~hobbit/server/etc/client-local.cfg file I added this entry
[myclass]
clientversion:newimage
This image suppose to add a new service called `mytest` in the status
column for all hosts in that particular group
I noticed only few hosts got that new service column `mytest' , after
a little wait, and most did not create the new column
I have a total of 40 hosts in that group
I also noticed all of the hosts have the [clientversion] section in
the client data showing the `newimage' as the version name.
So hobbit server at least instructed the client correctly to pickup
the new image and the clients were able to run the clientupdate
command.
All the clients have the new ext/newscript.sh and the
etc/clientversion.cfg file (with content newimage)
However, the clients that did not show the new service column is
_still_ carrying have the old etc/clientlaunch.cfg file. It does not
have an entry of the [newservice] section. So that explains why new
service column is not showing in status page for those hosts.
A working and non-working clients' hobbitclient.log file has same
'tar: blocksize = 0' . So tar xf probably did not fail.
They all are same OS, solaris 8. So something in the non-working hosts
preventing it from overwriting the old etc/clientlaunch.cfg file
How do I debug this?
I made another update and same issue. Some of the hosts did not get
the new clientlaunch.cfg file.
I had to manually go through each of them just to add the snippet
related to the new extension script.
Would be nice if I could avoid that, afterall `clientupdate' claims to
do just that
