Hi all.

I am still strugling with this problem. Has anyone had similar experience? And even some workarounds? :-)

Thanks ! Svenni

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
