Description Tsai Li Ming 2016-09-15 07:30:21 UTC

Description of problem:
Under the SSUI -> Red Hat Updates, we have the option to check the appliance for update. However we can only apply "CFME update" and not platform updates.

Despite having platform updates available as shown in the UI, we cannot apply such updates via the UI. The button "CFME update" seem to only apply CFME updates only and nothing gets updated. 

Can we update the platform via the UI?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cfme-5.6.1.2-1.el7cf.x86_64
5.6.1.2.20160810181333_8ba817b


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Register the appliance
2. Check for updates
3.

Actual results:
Cannot apply platform updates

Expected results:
Are we expected to be able to apply platform updates via the UI?

Comment 2 Tsai Li Ming 2016-09-15 07:37:33 UTC

As part of the registration process via the UI, I found out several rhel 7 repos were attached, such as:

Repo ID:   rhel-7-server-htb-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-7-server-tus-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-7-server-aus-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-7-server-nfv-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-7-server-rt-htb-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-sap-hana-for-rhel-7-server-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-sap-hana-for-rhel-7-server-eus-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-7-fast-datapath-htb-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-ha-for-rhel-7-server-htb-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-rs-for-rhel-7-server-htb-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-7-server-eus-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-sap-for-rhel-7-server-rpms
Repo ID:   cf-me-5.6-for-rhel-7-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-sjis-for-rhel-7-server-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-7-server-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-7-server-rt-rpms
Repo ID:   qci-1.0-for-rhel-7-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-rs-for-rhel-7-server-eus-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-ha-for-rhel-7-server-eus-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-lb-for-rhel-7-server-htb-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-7-server-rt-beta-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-rs-for-rhel-7-server-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-ha-for-rhel-7-server-rpms
Repo ID:   rhel-sap-for-rhel-7-server-eus-rpms

Is this intentional? At the time of writing, the rhel-7-server-tus-rpms link is broken thus causing yum to fail. 

subscription-manager list shows that I only need the following:
Product Name:   Red Hat Software Collections (for RHEL Server)
Product Name:   Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server
Product Name:   Red Hat CloudForms

> Can we update the platform via the UI?

No, at the moment. The platform update may include postgresql update. Given how the postgresql updates work, it requires manual planned downtime.

Flagging as RFE.

Comment 5 Dave Johnson 2016-09-22 23:18:36 UTC

Luke, can you confirm the behavior in comment 2 and open a separate BZ if you can reproduce.

Comment 7 luke couzens 2016-09-23 14:46:01 UTC

It seems the repository was broken for some time but it's working fine for me now.

Comment 8 Tsai Li Ming 2016-09-23 15:17:56 UTC

@luke, I believe cf is doing auto attachment of the subs, thus all the relevant  rhel7 subs (sap, lb, ham etc) are added. Is this an intended behaviour?
