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 Komal 2015-07-29 10:15:07 UTC 
Description of problem:

How to patch all hosts through Satellite 6 in host collection.

We can patch individual packages for a host collection, but there is no way to update all packages for a host collection. Also, there should be a way to check (logs of) what was updated when.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. on satellite 6 web UI : Go to Hosts -> Host collection
2. On the host collection created -> Collection Actions
3. Package Installation, removal and Update -> we need to search for particular package or group and perform the action
4. There is no way to patch hosts with all updates available 

Actual results:
No way to patch all hosts at once for multiple packages.
The similar facility is available in satellite 5.x using SSM.

Expected results:
All hosts in a host collection should be able to be updated for multiple updates.

There is existing bugzilla for adding feature for tracking tasks for host collection. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1192889

This bug is specific to the GUI -- I'm curious if there is a workaround available using the Hammer CLI tooling.

Thanks,
John
Comment 4 Komal 2015-09-15 11:20:26 UTC 
Hello,

Do we have any other workaround to achieve the mentioned requirement using hammer?

Is there any timeline when the feature can be fixed for satellite 6.x web UI ?

Regards,
Komal
