RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2014:1384 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE subscription-manager bug fix and enhancement update 2014-10-14 01:27:50 UTC

Description John Sefler 2014-08-18 17:12:54 UTC
Description of problem:
The rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm fails when passing the --serverurl option with a valid value to override the undesired server hostname:port/prefix currently set in the rhsm.conf.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager-migration
subscription-manager-migration-1.12.10-1.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
Demonstrate that registration to the target serverurl actually works...
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# subscription-manager register --serverurl=subscription.rhn.stage.redhat.com:443/subscription
Username: qa
Password: 
The system has been registered with ID: de5f3967-bd89-42bf-b55e-33d16c0dad59 
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# subscription-manager unregister
System has been unregistered.
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# 

^Success as expected^ demonstrates that --serverurl=subscription.rhn.stage.redhat.com:443/subscription is good.
Now let's register classically to RHN and then try to migrate to the same serverurl with the same credentials, but this time it will fail.  It appears to fail because the --serverurl is not overriding the corresponding values in the rhsm.conf.


[root@jsefler-6 ~]# rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://xmlrpc.rhn.code.stage.redhat.com/XMLRPC --username=qa --password=redhatqa --norhnsd --nohardware --nopackages --novirtinfo
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# rhn-channel --list
rhel-x86_64-server-6
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# subscription-manager config --server.hostname=foo.redhat.com --server.port=123 --server.prefix=/bar
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm --serverurl=subscription.rhn.stage.redhat.com:443/subscription
Red Hat username: qa
Red Hat password: 
Subscription Service username: qa
Subscription Service password: 
Unable to connect to certificate server: [Errno -2] Name or service not known.  See /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log for more details.
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# 



Actual results:
above

Expected results:
Expected the serverurl that I specified on the command line to be used during migration to override the undesirable values configured in rhsm.conf.

Comment 1 John Sefler 2014-08-18 21:08:51 UTC
This appears to be a regression from RHEL6.5 which passes the same test scenario....

Comment 3 Bryan Kearney 2014-08-28 13:03:24 UTC
Pushing to 7.1 (next release cycle) per conversations with QE.

Comment 7 Chris Snyder 2014-09-04 18:19:41 UTC
should be in as of commit: edce99dcd4dffe724c72921ad4d8d8f3c1a01972

Comment 8 John Sefler 2014-09-08 16:49:49 UTC
Moving back to RHEL6 since the rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm tool is more useful on RHEL6 that RHEL7.
