Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit).

Description of problem:
Unable to assign location for more hosts (250 hosts worked, 500 showed the issue; hostnames have about 32 characters each) at once via webUI - getting "414 Request-URI Too Long" and no error displayed


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
satellite-6.2.6-2.0.el7sat.noarch


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Administer -> Settings -> Entries per page: 250
2. Hosts -> All hosts -> select 500 hosts -> Select Action -> Assign Location


Actual results:
Window appears but stays empty and firefox developer console -> network tab shows failed request with error code 414


Expected results:
Should work or there should be useful error message


Additional info:
I guess this will be issue for lots of (all?) actions from "Select Action" menu

This is related to bug 1401237

While changing location of hosts, content hosts page loading take 38.39s

This is a dupe of BZ1413747. Even though the action is different, the root cause and solution are the same.
