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.

Document URL:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.3-beta/html-single/upgrading_and_updating_red_hat_satellite/#migrating_from_rhel_6_to_rhel_7
Section Number and Name:
2.2. Migrating from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
Describe the issue:
For a existing Satellite using remote execution feature, there is an ssh key to be use for connecting to clients. Usually the ssh keys are in the following directory: /usr/share/foreman-proxy/.ssh
If a user follow the migration steps, the ssh key will be missing and the remote execution job will fail "Net::SSH::AuthenticationFailed Authentication failed" because the ssh connection can't use the expected private key.
Suggestions for improvement:
Include additional steps to make the user backup the required ssh key and restore them to the target server.
Additional information:
It would be nice to have this done automatically, however this would require modification to katello-backup, satellite-clone, and there could be a security concern to have this key include in the backup.
