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). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Chris Duryee 2017-01-27 15:24:03 UTC 
Description of problem:

Satellite currently requires kicking off a sync process to get repo data from a satellite to the capsules. This is useful in many scenarios, but if the customer is using the capsules for horizontal scaling in the same datacenter, the additional sync processes can cause both unnecessary overhead, and create different repo metadata between capsules. If a client expects to bounce around between capsules that are behind a VIP, this can cause 404s.

One solution to this problem is to mount the Satellite server's /var/lib/pulp/published and /var/lib/pulp/content read-only on the capsules. This lets the capsule serve exactly what the Satellite has, without having to kick off a sync process. Additionally, it makes the content the same across capsules. This makes it easier to use a VIP in front of them.
Comment 3 Andrew Schofield 2017-11-07 21:45:43 UTC 
Thanks Chris. Can this be enhanced such that one can choose to make a push to a capsule and replicate this within a dc between capsules in that DC.

Globally replicated storage isn't an option here and we need regional segregation / seperation (in case of outages etc).

We also have 4 capsules per region which sit behind a load balancer which we could attach replicated storage to so long as we can still replicate if any of the nodes were to drop.

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
