Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Rich Jerrido 2014-07-17 21:23:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
In the Satellite 6 installation Guide [1], section 4.2.1, procedure 4.11, step 6 informs the user to 

"Generate a secret 32-character alphanumeric string for the oauth_secret entry in the /etc/pulp/server.conf file:" and provides:

"# tr -dc "[:alnum:]" < /dev/urandom | head -c 32 randomly_generated_value" 

as the command to run.  This should be placed on two lines as 'randomly_generated_value" represents the output from this command. It should read

"# tr -dc "[:alnum:]" < /dev/urandom | head -c 32 
randomly_generated_value"

This bug is a bit old, so I'm going through it piece by piece.

This update verified on portal version.
Comment 17 David O'Brien 2015-01-12 02:51:19 UTC 
http://file.bne.redhat.com/~daobrien/Satellite6/Installation_Guide/#sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-Installation_Guide-Exporting_Content

Before I update anything further, I need to know if what's in the screen following "The output will look similar to: " is *actually* output or if it's two commands that the user is expected to enter.

I didn't write the original so I'm not sure. It looks suspiciously like two commands && output. If so, I'd change it:

1. Export the synchronized repositories: 
# katello-disconnected export -t /var/tmp/export

You can use the watch command to monitor the synchronization: [1]
# katello-disconnected watch

This produces output similar to the following:
Watching sync... (this may be safely interrupted with Ctrl+C)
running:
rhel-6-server-sam-rpms-6_4-x86_64

finished:
rhel-6-server-sam-rpms-6_4-x86_64
Watching finished
Done watching ...
 Copying content to /var/tmp/export
 Archiving contents of /var/tmp/export into 4600M tar archives.
 NOTE: This may take a while.
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names

Done exporting content, please copy /var/tmp/export/* to your disconnected host

[1] I don't know that this is even a synchronization. Aren't we just exporting content? If so, we should s/Watching sync/Watching export/ or something similar.

David, so you still need info on this?

Bryan,

I think the outstanding parts of this bug have been made redundant by the following:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1200617

Significant bits have been removed completely.

Closing this off.
