Comment 1 Jan Dobes 2017-05-11 15:19:33 UTC

raise TimeoutException, "Connection timed out on %s" % caller_name

It seems more as a some networking issue than a sync bug. Is connection between these two machines stable during whole sync? Isn't one of the Satellites restarted during the sync or something like this?

Comment 2 Pavel Studeník 2017-05-23 12:00:46 UTC

Try to increase timeout for connection on the system.

>> vi /etc/rhn/rhn.conf
timeout = 600

Thank you, Pavel. Radovan, can this bug be closed?

Comment 4 Jan Dobes 2017-07-27 12:06:41 UTC

This bug happens when master Satellite is not fast enough to process and send XML stream to slave Satellite and HTTP connection then times out. Workaround in configuration is provided in Comment #2. Closing this as NOTABUG, please reopen in case if this bug occurs regardless of timeout option.
