Comment 1 John Mitsch 2017-12-19 14:51:04 UTC

If you have register_to_portal commented out, you have to use an activation key and org (in the top of satellite-clone-vars.yml). The details around this are documented under the section titled  "required variables"

Do you have this filled in?

Comment 2 Christian Marineau 2017-12-30 16:25:57 UTC

I think we should make sure to prioritize the following BZ which would prevent this situation. Satellite Installation Guides are never stipulating to use Activation Key, thus the registration is expected to have been done manually so we should not be having to explicitly change the variable.

Thanks Cristian,

We have an upstream issue around this https://github.com/RedHatSatellite/satellite-clone/issues/285

Verified in satellite-clone-1.2.1-1.el7sat.noarch

Now the default behavior is manual registration to portal. The default workflow is:

1. Manually register to portal and attach right subscriptions
2. copy backup files
3. install satellite-clone
4. Run satellite-clone
