Description Stephen Wadeley 2015-11-10 12:54:53 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1279819 +++

Description of problem:

Instruction wizard "Content Host Registration" leaves out steps to attach a subscription and enable repos.

Step 4 says install katello-agent which you 
cannot do as you have no repos at that point.

If you chose to use an activation key:
Step 3 assumes that your activation key provides access
to a subscription & content view (or has auto-attach set to 'True').
Otherwise, there step 4 would not work.

If you chose not to use an activation key:
You still need to attach a subscription and enable some repos.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@rhel7-1-sat6 ~]# rpm -q katello
katello-2.2.0.16-1.el7sat.noarch
[root@rhel7-1-sat6 ~]# rpm -q foreman
foreman-1.7.2.43-1.el7sat.noarch


How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click Hosts → Content Hosts and then click Register Content Host. 


Actual results:

1. Select a Content Source:
[drop-down list of content sources]

2. Install the pre-built bootstrap RPM:
rpm -Uvh http://capsuleserver.example.com/pub/katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm

3. Run subscription-manager in a console on the client host. You may use an Activation Key to register:
subscription-manager register --org="The_Demo_Org" --activationkey="activationkey1"

or authenticate with a username and password:
subscription-manager register --org="The_Demo_Org" --environment="Library"

4. Install katello-agent for remote actions and displaying errata information:
yum -y install katello-agent

Expected results:

1. Select a Content Source:
[drop-down list of content sources]

2. Install the pre-built bootstrap RPM:
rpm -Uvh http://capsuleserver.example.com/pub/katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm

3. Run subscription-manager in a console on the client host. You can use an Activation Key to register:
subscription-manager register --org="<The_Demo_Org>" --activationkey="<activationkey1>"

or authenticate with a username and password:
subscription-manager register --org="<The_Demo_Org>" --environment="Library"

4. Attach a subscription:
subscription-manager list --available --all
subscription-manager attach --pool=<pool_ID>

5. Enable repositories:
subscription-manager repos --enable=<repository-to-be-enabled>

6. Install katello-agent for remote actions and displaying errata information:
yum -y install katello-agent


Additional info:

Please do not use "may" as it is sometimes used ambiguously to mean "might" as in "might happen". Use "can" to indicate that something is allowed, can be done.

Will clone for the Installation Guide

Procedure 7.6. Registering Host Systems to the Capsule Server[1]

Duplicates the Instruction Wizard which is incorrect (as per parent bug)

Resetting the QA contact.

Comment 11 Andrew Dahms 2017-06-13 05:46:51 UTC
The content in this bug was included in the Satellite 6.1 version of the Installation Guide, but does not have a home in the 6.2 content after the re-structure.

That said, we do have a customer case bug requesting more information about registering hosts. Therefore, I have added a link to the content that was created in this bug to that bug so that it can be used as a reference, and incorporated.

Closing this one as a duplicate.
