Description John Mitsch 2020-10-08 13:08:59 UTC

Document URL: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.7/html/upgrading_and_updating_red_hat_satellite/cloning_satellite_server#sec-Cloning_to_Target

Section Number and Name: 2.4.2. Cloning to the Target Server

Describe the issue: 
In step 5 it says 'satellite-maintain packages install satellite-clone'. This is the new target server, a vanilla RHEL7 server. The server doesn't have 'satellite-maintain' installed as Satellite is not installed yet.


Suggestions for improvement:  update step to `yum install install satellite-clone'

Additional information: it's on 6.6 as well, maybe earlier versions too

Same exists on 6.8 document too

Can this Bugzilla be closed?  I see that the 6.9 documentation's step #5 has one execute "yum install satellite-clone" in this section:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.9/html/upgrading_and_updating_red_hat_satellite/cloning_satellite_server#sec-Cloning_to_Target

The 6.10 documentation has something similar ("satellite-maintain packages install satellite-clone"):

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.10/html/upgrading_and_updating_red_hat_satellite/cloning_satellite_server

Comment 5 Bernie Hoefer 2021-11-29 14:38:41 UTC

Oops, I should have pointed out that while the problem is fixed in the 6.9 documentation, the 6.10 is still wrong.

The target server being worked on in 6.10's document's section 2.4.2 does not have the satellite software installed on it, yet.  Thus its step #5 of using the satellite-maintain command will fail.  The 6.10 document needs changed to have the "yum install" command like the 6.9 document.

Upon review of our valid but aging backlog the Satellite Team has concluded that this Bugzilla does not meet the criteria for a resolution in the near term, and are planning to close in a month. This message may be a repeat of a previous update and the bug is again being considered to be closed. If you have any concerns about this, please contact your Red Hat Account team.  Thank you.

Comment 8 Brad Buckingham 2023-05-08 11:03:23 UTC

Thank you for your interest in Red Hat Satellite. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this feel free to contact your Red Hat Account Team. Thank you.
