clientupdate problems

[Sveinn G. Gunnarsson]

Hi all.

I am a long time user and fan of Hobbit :-)
So thank you all for your hard work on the project!


I am having trouble with the clientupdate part, and I belive I might have
found a bug, or just misunderstood the whole thing :)


Here is my scenario:

I am installing hobbit client on our ESX3 servers, and I decided to assign
a special class (esx3) to those machines in the bb-hosts file:

192.168.xxx.xxx   VMWARE01        # CLASS:esx3


In client-local.cfg I have a section for the class:

[esx3]
clientversion:hobbit-esx3-v01



When I want to push out a new version, I place a new tarball in
$BBHOME/download, in my case hobbit-esx3-v02.tar, and bump the
clientversion reference in client-local.cfg to:

[esx3]
clientversion:hobbit-esx3-v02


But, what happens, is that only one client will update it self. If I bump
the clientversion again, another one client will update and so on.



I am running the latest Hobbit server, with latest all-in-one patch on AIX
5300-05-03. On the clientside, I am also running latest and greatest, on
ESX 3.0.1.



Best regards,
Svenni
