Description matt jia 2019-07-09 23:11:54 UTC

Description of problem:

The boostrap.sh script generated by following the steps in 

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/5.8/html/getting_started_guide/chap-system_management#sect-Using_Red_Hat_Network_Bootstrap_to_Register_a_System

doesn't work in a RHEL8 client. The reason is RHEL8 doesn't have python2 installed by default.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

5.8

How reproducible:

Easy


Steps to Reproduce:

register a RHEL8 client to a Satellite 5.8 server by using boostrap.sh

Actual results:

It fails with 'bootstrap.sh: line 171: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory'


Expected results:

The boostrap.sh should support python3.

Additional info:

A workaround is to mount the RHEL8 DVD and use local yum repo. However, this is so much inconvenience if you have many clients to register.

Comment 2 Stephen Wadeley 2019-07-10 06:44:04 UTC

Hello

Does Satellite 5 support RHEL8?

On a RHEL8 Beta host you can run bootstrap.py as follows:

~#] /usr/libexec/platform-python bootstrap.py

Bootstrap.py help and in-built docs were fixed in:

Bug 1693199 - Use platform-python for bootstrap.py on RHEL8 hosts

Satellite 5.8 does support RHEL8. Your suggestion works for Satellite 6, not 5.
