Description of problem:
Until Satellite 6.2 the Satellite Tools repository was enable in the subscription_manager_registration snippet.
This is missing in the new snippet. If the repo is not enabled in an activation key, which is the default, the
Katello and Puppet agent are not installed while kickstarting.
If the snippet is updated through a Satellite update, customers would not be able to install new systems as before.
The Satellite Tools repo should get enabled by default by including this in the snippet:
######################
<% if @host.operatingsystem.name == "RedHat" %>
# add the rhel rpms to install katello agent
subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-*-satellite-tools-*-rpms
<% end %>
######################
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.2 SNAP 9.3
How reproducible:
With every new Satellite installation
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create activation key
2. add RHEL 7 repo and Satellite Tools repo
3. check if the repos are enabled by default (RHEL: yes, Sat Tools: no)
4. Kickstart a new system
5. Check if Katello and Puppet Agent get installed
Actual results:
Katello and Puppet Agent are not installed
Expected results:
The Satellite Tools repo should be enabled by default.
This was removed in this bug here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1255012
but this will cause significant regressions for existing customers who rely on this snippet to enable sat-tools repos.
We need to handle this painful situation as users are relying on this for the provisioning workflow.
Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
