cfmsync -p Problem

[Maurice Hilarius]

Good day.
We are working on a test cluster using kusu

At one point about a week ago cfmsync -p stopped working.
It failed after some updates appeared on the kusu update repository, and
not due to changes or actions on our part.

This is obviously a critical problem for us.

Some details:
This was working, until an update sometime about 7-10 days ago.

cfmsync -f DOES work.

An earlier failure of cfmsync -p was observed and that was traced to a
problem where files copied were getting time stamps in the future. Yum
simply rejected tose files.

This is a different problem, and we do not know where to start looking..

Hi Maurice

On the machine that is missing the packages can you look at the contents of the /opt/kusu/etc/packages.lst. This list is what the CFM thinks it has installed already. It gets updated "cfmsync -p" runs. I suspect it is out of sync with what's really installed. Can you confirm this?

I've seen this happen when yum failed to install the package. In our case the yum failure was because two nodes had the same IP. The /var/log/yum.logs will also have useful troubleshooting info.

Another thing to check is the node group name. We found a bug with nodegroups that had spaces in the name.
