Description Sam Wachira 2021-07-01 12:18:43 UTC

Description of problem:
Enabling the Red Hat Satellite Tools 6.9 (for RHEL 7 Server - EUS) (RPMs) (rhel-7-server-eus-satellite-tools-6.9-rpms) repository for RHEL 7.7 fails with error:
'The path /content/eus/rhel/server/7/7.7/x86_64/sat-tools/6.9/os does not seem to be a valid repository. If you think this is an error, please try refreshing your manifest.'

- Refreshing the manifest does not make a difference.
- Enabling the same repository for RHEL 7.6 EUS works fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.9.2

How reproducible:
Fully

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Satellite UI, navigate to Content -> Red Hat Repositories
2. Search for 'rhel-7-server-eus-satellite-tools-6.9-rpms'
3. Expand 'Red Hat Satellite Tools 6.9 (for RHEL 7 Server - EUS) (RPMs)' then click the + sign next to 'x86_64 7.7'

Actual Results:
Repository is not enabled.
/var/log/foreman/production.log displays error below followed by a trace (attached).

Comment 4 Frank DiPrete 2021-07-01 20:33:12 UTC

content is now present on cdn-live

Comment 5 Sam Wachira 2021-07-01 20:47:15 UTC

Thanks Frank.
I can now enable the repo in my Satellite 6.9 instance and the error is no longer displayed.

Comment 6 Danny Synk 2021-07-06 17:54:19 UTC

Steps to Test:
1. On Satellite 6.10, snap 7, add a subscription to the manifest that provides RHEL EUS.
2. Attempt to enable and synchronize the "Red Hat Satellite Tools 6.9 for RHEL 7 Server - EUS RPMs x86_64 7.7" repository.

Expected Results:
The repo can be successfully enabled and synchronized.

Actual Resutls:
The repo can be successfully enabled and synchronized.

Verified on Satellite 6.10, snap 7 (candlepin-4.0.5-1.el7sat.noarch). However, since the problem was caused by content being absent from the Red Hat CDN, this issue should now be resolved for all versions of Satellite 6.
