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 Dave Sullivan 2015-10-09 17:23:49 UTC 
Description of problem:

katello-installer does not check firewall for needed ports prior to install

What problem/issue/behavior are you having trouble with?  What do you expect to see?

RHEL 7.1 fully updated installing fully updated sat 6.1.2
Firewall is running by default with this line from KS:
firewall --service=ssh --service=http --service=https

katello-installer runs fine to 99% and then throws error:

[root@satellite6 ~]# katello-installer --capsule-dhcp=true --capsule-dns=true --capsule-tftp=true  --katello-proxy-url=http://10.37.223.97 --katello-proxy-port=80

running with --reset or simply re-running katello-installer does not help.

When I added:
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=https
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=tftp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=dhcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=dns

firewall-cmd --add-service=http
firewall-cmd --add-service=https
firewall-cmd --add-service=tftp
firewall-cmd --add-service=dhcp
firewall-cmd --add-service=dns

then run:
katello-installer --reset
Install works fine.

Additional info:

We probably should have some sort of rudimentary pre installation check in place for anything that is documented in the pre-quisite check.

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/6.1/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-Installation_Guide-Prerequisites.html

I see a few of issues covered already

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1103884
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1119910

It might be a good idea to dump the checks out to log file that way customers know what we are coding in as sometimes docs can get out of date with code.

Per 6.3 planning, moving out non acked bugs to the backlog

Created redmine issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/16958 from this bug
Comment 7 Bryan Kearney 2018-06-21 18:09:36 UTC 
Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in product in the forseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
