Description sthirugn@redhat.com 2015-12-11 17:43:23 UTC
Created attachment 1104752 [details]
Satellite timeout

Description of problem:
Installing 350+ errata to a content host timed out

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Sat 6.1.5 Compose 4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Sat 6.1.5 Compose x
2. Sync rhel7Server content, promote, publish
3. Create activation key for the above content and associate to corresponding content view
4. Register/subscribe a rhel7 client
5. Go to Satellite UI -> Content -> Errata -> Select 350+ errata and apply to the content host

Note: 
1. Watch /var/log/messages in content host and satellite
2. Watch tail -f /var/log/{pulp,candlepin,foreman*,rhsm,puppet,tomcat*}/{*.log,*.out} in satellite 


Actual results:
Satellite timed out

Expected results:
Satellite finished the errata installation in content host

Additional info:
It looks like pulp traverses through each errata, and bundles some information.  I can see those logs in /var/log/messages in satellite.  This pulp processing is happening for more than an hour now and this made Satellite timeout.  When I write this bug, pulp is still processing errata in the background but content host did not receive any info so far.

Although I observed this in rhel 7 content host, I believe the behavior is same for all rhel5 and rhel6 as well.

Update:
Although the satellite task timed out, pulp ran in the background and the installation completed in the content host.

Note:
Overall it took 2 hours 10 minutes for the entire operation (359 errata installation) to succeed from the moment I triggered the install on satellite till the installation completion in the content host.
