6.3 Enabling the OSA Daemon Manually

The software described in this documentation is either no longer supported or is in extended support.
Oracle recommends that you upgrade to a current supported release.

6.3 Enabling the OSA Daemon Manually

To install and enable the OSA daemon manually:

Log in as root on the client system.
Use the yum command to install the osad package:
```
# yum install osad
```
Enable and start the osad service:
- On an Oracle Linux 5 or Oracle Linux 6 client system:
```
# chkconfig osad on
# service osad start
```
- On an Oracle Linux 7 client system:
```
# systemctl enable osad
# systemctl start osad
```

Note

If the osad service does not start and displays the error SSLDisabledError, edit /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date and verify that the entry for serverURL uses the fully qualified domain name of the Spacewalk server or proxy, for example:

serverURL=https://swksvr.mydom.com/XMLRPC
