I’ve been following the install guide, even through it’s a little out of date with the SCC integration. I’ve been able to register 4 server but each is failing to install the rhncfg-actions packages as the directions show for remote command execution, adding it to the activation keys.

Is there a way to run these rpms manually ? I mean I can’t find the packages in the repos → zypper se rhncfg

Do they only exist on the SUSE Manger system or is there a repo I need that I might have missed.

Thanks

Hi  
A missing repository or two;

sle-manager-tools12-pool-x86\_64-sle[sd]  
sle-manager-tools12-updates-x86\_64-sle[sd]

On the SUSE Manager system run;

```auto
mgr-sync refresh
mgr-sync list channels
```

Then use the add option, then subscribe the systems to them.

shows as unavailable

[U] SLES11-SP3-SUSE-Manager-Tools i586 VMWare-SP3 SUSE Manager Tools [sles11-sp3-suse-manager-tools-i586-vmware-sp3]

In fact all the SUSE Manager Tools show unavailable.

I also get this on refresh

mgr-sync refresh  
Refreshing Channels [DONE]  
Refreshing Channel families [DONE]  
Refreshing SUSE products [DONE]  
Refreshing SUSE Product channels [FAIL]  
Error: \<Fault -1: ‘redstone.xmlrpc.XmlRpcFault: unhandled internal exception: query did not return a unique result: 2’\>

wonder if it’s because I’m in eval mode

Hi  
OK, so is SUSE Manager all up to date and upgraded etc?

Yes I went through the SCC schema upgrade and everything was successful. I’m able to use the spacewalk-repo-sync --channel [channelname] works just fine.

Hi  
You should not have to worry about syncing manually any more, check the  
SUSE channels via the web interface and should be enabled, else sync  
and schedule here now.

As for your error, I don’t think it should matter that your on an eval  
subscription. You have SLE 11 SP3 systems with active subscriptions or  
are these eval as well?

In the scheme of things I don’t have the package installed here either  
and seems to all work fine (SLED 11 SP3, SLE[SD] 12 and openSUSE).
