Converging on Verification with RHEL 5
======================================

Running verification
====================

To get complete verification status, run::

    bcfg2 -vqned

Unmanaged entries
=================

* Package (top-level)

 #. Enable the "Packages" plugin in ``/etc/bcfg2.conf``, and configure
    the Yum repositories in ``/var/lib/bcfg2/Packages/sources.xml``.
 #. If a package is unwanted, remove it::

        sudo yum remove PACKAGE

 #. Otherwise, add ``<Package name="PACKAGE" />`` to the Bundler
  configuration.

* Package (dependency)

 #. Ensure the Yum repository sources configured in
    ``/var/lib/bcfg2/Packages/sources.xml`` are correct.
 #. Ensure the Yum repositories themselves are up-to-date with the main
    package and dependencies.
 #. Rebuild the Packages plugin cache::

        bcfg2-admin xcmd Packages.Refresh

* Service

 #. Add ``<Service name="SERVICE" />`` to the Bundler configuration.
 #. Add ``<Service name="SERVICE" status="on" type="chkconfig" />`` to
    ``/var/lib/bcfg2/Rules/services.xml``.

Incorrect entries
=================

For a "Package"
---------------

* Failed RPM verification

 #. Run ``rpm -V PACKAGE``
 #. Add configuration files (the ones with "c" next to them in the
    verification output) to ``/var/lib/bcfg2/Cfg/``.

  * For example, ``/etc/motd`` to ``/var/lib/bcfg2/Cfg/etc/motd/motd``.
    Yes, there is an extra directory level named after the file.

 #. Specify configuration files as ``<Path name='PATH' />`` in the
    Bundler configuration.
 #. Add directories to ``/var/lib/bcfg2/Rules/directories.xml``. For
    example:

    .. code-block:: xml

        <Rules priority="0">
          <Directory name="/etc/cron.hourly" group="root" owner="root" mode="0700" />
          <Directory name="/etc/cron.daily" group="root" owner="root" mode="0700" />
        </Rules>

* Multiple instances

 * Option A: Explicitly list the instances

  #. Drop the ``<Package />`` from the Bundler configuration.
  #. Add an explicit ``<BoundPackage>`` and ``<Instance />`` configuration
     to a new Bundle, like the following:

     .. code-block:: xml

         <Bundle>
           <!-- GPG keys -->
           <BoundPackage name="gpg-pubkey" type="rpm" version="foo">
             <Instance simplefile="/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL" version="217521f6" release="45e8a532"/>
             <Instance simplefile="/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release" version="37017186" release="45761324"/>
           </BoundPackage>
         </Bundle>

  #. Add the bundle to the applicable groups in
     ``/var/lib/bcfg2/Metadata/groups.xml``.

 * Option B: Disable verification of the package

  #. Add ``pkg_checks="false"`` to the ``<Package />`` tag.

For a "Path"
-------------------

 * Unclear verification problem (no details from Bcfg2)

  1. Run ``bcfg2 -vqI`` to see detailed verification issues (but deny
     any suggested actions).

 * Permissions mismatch

  1. Create an ``info.xml`` file in the same directory as the
     configuration file. Example:

     .. code-block:: xml

         <FileInfo>
           <Group name='webserver'>
             <Info owner='root' group='root' mode='0652'/>
           </Group>
           <Info owner='root' group='sys' mode='0651'/>
         </FileInfo>

Other troubleshooting tools
===========================

 * Generate the physical configuration from the server side::

       bcfg2-info buildfile /test test.example.com

 * Generate the physical configuration from the client side::

       bcfg2 -vqn -c/root/bcfg2-physical.xml
