Description of problem: capsule-certs-generate wrongly suggests where to scp the tarball with certificates - in the step 2. below "Once this is completed", it tells to scp the tarball to the Satellite itself, instead of to the future Capsule, see: [root@pmoravec-sat63 ~]# hostname -f pmoravec-sat63.gsslab.brq2.redhat.com [root@pmoravec-sat63 ~]# capsule-certs-generate --node-fqdn pmoravec-caps63.gsslab.brq2.redhat.com --certs-tar=pmoravec-caps63.gsslab.brq2.redhat.com-certs.tar Installing Done [100%] [...........................................................................................................] Success! .. 2. Copy the following file /root/pmoravec-caps63.gsslab.brq2.redhat.com-certs.tar to the system pmoravec-sat63.gsslab.brq2.redhat.com at the following location /root/pmoravec-caps63.gsslab.brq2.redhat.com-certs.tar scp /root/pmoravec-caps63.gsslab.brq2.redhat.com-certs.tar root.brq2.redhat.com:/root/pmoravec-caps63.gsslab.brq2.redhat.com-certs.tar .. "to the system <capsule-not-satellite>" and "root@<capsule-not-satellite>:" should be there. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): satellite-6.3.1-3.el7sat.noarch satellite-installer-6.3.0.12-1.el7sat.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run on Satellite: CAPSULE=whatever.fqdn.you.come.up capsule-certs-generate --node-fqdn $CAPSULE --certs-tar=${CAPSULE}-certs.tar 2>&1 | grep "root@${CAPSULE}" Actual results: no output Expected results: the scp command should be on output Additional info:
Hey Chris, Do you know if this may be a duplicate? I recall there being other reports of incorrect output on capsule-certs-generate, but do not see one specifically for this.
Mea culpa, I used wrong parameter --node-fqdn instead of --foreman-proxy-fqdn . Using the prior one, I cant even install Capsule as the tarball lacks certificates :) and using the later one, proper scp command etc. is shown: capsule-certs-generate --foreman-proxy-fqdn pmoravec-caps63.gsslab.brq2.redhat.com --certs-tar=pmoravec-caps63.gsslab.brq2.redhat.com-certs.tar .. 2. Copy the following file /root/pmoravec-caps63.gsslab.brq2.redhat.com-certs.tar to the system pmoravec-caps63.gsslab.brq2.redhat.com at the following location /root/pmoravec-caps63.gsslab.brq2.redhat.com-certs.tar scp /root/pmoravec-caps63.gsslab.brq2.redhat.com-certs.tar root.brq2.redhat.com:/root/pmoravec-caps63.gsslab.brq2.redhat.com-certs.tar .. Docs is clear here, purely human error.
