Description Jesus M. Rodriguez 2016-01-19 20:08:12 UTC 
Customers will follow the instructions for setting a synchronization host for synchronizing content for a Disconnected Satellite.

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/6.0/html/User_Guide/sect-Disconnected_Satellite.html

Unfortunately, pulp (the backing server hosting the content) does not export ISO/images to a directory structure friendly for use by RHCI as a CDN. The ISO/images are put in a top directory cf-me-5_4-for-rhel-6-files--x86_64/ instead of being in the content/ directory.

Pulp is adding support for this, but in the mean time we need to document that after exporting and expanding the content:

# katello-disconnected export -t /var/tmp/export
# ./expand_export.sh
*** Done expanding archives. ***

The user needs to post process the results with the following commands:

# fix cf-me image files
mkdir -p $EXPORT_DIR/content/dist/cf-me/server/5.5/x86_64/files/
mkdir -p $EXPORT_DIR/content/dist/cf-me/server/5.4/x86_64/files/

mv cf-me-5_5-for-rhel-7-files--x86_64/* $EXPORT_DIR/content/dist/cf-me/server/5.5/x86_64/files/

mv cf-me-5_4-for-rhel-6-files--x86_64/* $EXPORT_DIR/content/dist/cf-me/server/5.4/x86_64/files/

# fix openstack directory files
mkdir -p $EXPORT_DIR/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/openstack-director/7.0/files/
mv rhel-7-server-openstack-7_0-files-7Server-x86_64/* $EXPORT_DIR/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/openstack-director/7.0/files/

# recursively fix openstack listing files fix_listing_files $EXPORT_DIR/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/openstack-director/7.0/ true

Created attachment 1116349 [details]
script to fix export

This script will contain the commands the user should run or they can download the script and fix their exports more easily.

Usage: ./fix_export.sh /path/to/export

For example if your content lives in /var/tmp/export/content then pass in /var/tmp/export to the script.

Hi Jesus,

Thank you for raising this bug.

Given the current direction of QCI, only critical bugs are to be addressed in the documentation going forward.

As such, I will be closing this bug, but please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind regards,

Andrew
