Installing the Satellite inventory upload plugin Describe the issue: The instructions given will work under Satellite 6.5, but not under Satellite 6.6. In 6.6, yum will report: Nothing to do Suggestions for improvement: We should have 2 different instruction: 1 for Satellite 6.5 and another for Satellite 6.6+ For 6.6, the right command should look like this: foreman-maintain packages install tfm-rubygem-foreman_inventory_upload-* Additional information: Since calling foreman-maintain will trigger additional steps, we should warn customer that Satellite will be down during the execution of foreman-maintain.
Please assess the impact of this issue and update the severity accordingly. Please refer to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity for a reminder on each severity's definition. If it's something like a tracker bug where it doesn't matter, please set the severity to Low.
As on Satellite 6.6 and later the yum command will fail, however, return the solution, I am setting the severity to medium. The documentation now is incorrect but is not catastrophic. ~~~~ # yum install tfm-rubygem-foreman_inventory_upload-* WARNING: Excluding 15451 updates due to foreman-protector. Use foreman-maintain packages install/update <package> to safely install packages without restrictions. Use foreman-maintain upgrade run for full upgrade. Error: Nothing to do ~~~~
The docs update has been made to the repository.
Since I tried to clarify and still misunderstood the first time, can I clarify that: 1 - The original wording worked for Satellite 6.5. 2 - The current wording works for Satellite 6.6. Is there anything else I am missing? Thanks
Hi Anni, yes, you are correct. The request was to turn the step to something like this: ~~~~ 1. Install the Satellite inventory upload plugin on the Satellite Server: * On Satellite Server 6.5 and lower, enter the following command: # yum install tfm-rubygem-foreman_inventory_upload-* * On Satellite Server 6.6 and higher, enter the following command: # foreman-maintain packages install tfm-rubygem-foreman_inventory_upload-* ~~~~ Thank you
Update in command: > * On Satellite Server 6.6 and higher, enter the following command: > # foreman-maintain packages install tfm-rubygem-foreman_inventory_upload-* > ~~~~ This has been changed for Satellite 6.6 and higher, the command is now the following: # satellite-maintain packages install tfm-rubygem-foreman_inventory_upload-* Thank you
That change has been requested to merge. Thank you!
