Description Michal Dekan 2016-12-07 14:40:45 UTC
Description of problem:

Customer has nodes within RAC cluster where IP addresses are changing quite often. This might result in jobs to be executed on the different host

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Satellite 6.2.4

$ egrep 'remote|tfm-rubygem-katello' installed_packages 
tfm-rubygem-smart_proxy_remote_execution_ssh_core-0.1.2-1.el7sat.noarch
rubygem-smart_proxy_remote_execution_ssh-0.1.2-2.el7sat.noarch
tfm-rubygem-hammer_cli_foreman_remote_execution-0.0.5.3-1.el7sat.noarch
tfm-rubygem-foreman_remote_execution-0.3.0.12-1.el7sat.noarch
tfm-rubygem-katello-3.0.0.82-1.el7sat.noarch

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:

Taken from the case:

On my test system I have eth0 and eth1:

# facter
ipaddress => 10.12.213.48
ipaddress_eth0 => 10.12.213.48
ipaddress_eth1 => 10.12.212.180

So now, if I supply a puppet report of facts, the Satellite now knows my IP of my RE interface (eth0) and the other interface.
If I bring down eth0 now, and send a new puppet report the Satellite will report the IP as blank for the RE interface and the RE Job will fail to connect via SSH.
If we sent a new puppet report (puppet agent -tv), the Satellite will receive the new 'ipaddress' fact which has changed to the IP of eth1. Now when we attempt a job, even though that interface is NOT checked for RE, the job will succeed..

Actual results:

Network interface with RE NOT enabled successfully executes the jobs. 

Expected results:

Job should not be marked as successfully if new changed interface with IP was not marked for RE.

Additional info:

Can we use fqdn instead of ip address as a source of remote execution activation?

Comment 8 Satellite Program 2017-01-24 21:04:08 UTC
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/17603 has been resolved.

Comment 9 Ivan Necas 2017-02-06 17:04:03 UTC
Steps to verify:

1. set ip address on host primary interface to other value
2. run the execution job against the host

Expected result:

Primarily, the host fqdn should be used for addressing the host

To switch to the original behavior (which might be useful, when DNS present in the infrastructure), set 'remote_execution_connect_by_ip' to true in Remote Execution settings

Comment 12 jcallaha 2017-02-16 19:43:56 UTC
Verified in Satellite 6.2.8 Snap 2.

Steps:
1. Enable remote execution on a remote host.
2. Change the ipaddress of the host's interface(s)
3. Run a job against the host.

Result:
The job completed successfully, as expected.

Negative test steps:
1. Use the host setup above
2. Navigate to Administer -> Settings
3. Click on the RemoteExecution tab
4. Change "remote_execution_connect_by_ip" to "true"
5. Run a job against the host

Result:
The job failed, as expected.
Errno::ETIMEDOUT Connection timed out - connect(2) for "10.19.34.1" port 22

See attached image to see the first job succeed and the second job fail.
