Description of problem: Since CF pulled RHN support when registering the product we should pull the rhn mirror role from the product. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Version 5.7.0.7-beta1.20161025153249_9376fbd How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
UI calls model method https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq/blob/master/app/controllers/ops_controller/settings/common.rb#L1103 to get list of roles to be displayed on screen, so sending this BZ over to core team.
We removed support for Satellite 5 when registering the product (think that's what you're referring to by RHN). I'm not sure that requires this feature to be removed as it is really just a yum repo mirror, maybe a rename would be enough. Although if the feature does indeed not work, it seems like the best solution would be to remove it as this is a feature provided (likely in a much better way) by other products which are much more suited to serving up rpm updates. Thoughts?
This feature was added several years ago to bridge the gap for customers that didn't have Satellite and needed to proxy updates because of Internet restrictions in their lab. It is not specific to RHN, it should work with CDN as well, but I still vote for removing it in favor of better products (Satellite / Pulp)
Harpreet, I see that there are references to RHN in the setting UI code. Like here - https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq/blob/c3c2474f57a59fc9f41dce5f0d91cce3147c245c/app/controllers/ops_controller/settings/rhn.rb Should that code also be removed?
This feature actually still works with the other subscription types. There is a separate issue with subscribing to the yum repo created by the mirror appliance, but that can be fixed as a separate bug which, I think, shouldn't be a blocker. I'm going to go ahead and close this as NOTABUG.
