Description Marko Myllynen 2019-12-12 09:50:19 UTC
Description of problem:
RH Satellite versions prior 6.2.11 used to require goferd for remote execution, however since RH Satellite 6.2.11 goferd is not required anymore and given that RH Satellite 6.3 is already unsupported there seems to be no reason to include or at least enable by default goferd on RHV Host Images. We have also seen goferd leaking memory once or twice leading to issues with a Host (but we haven't collected the required data for troubleshooting goferd) so running it needlessly is certainly unhelpful.

For more background information please see:

Please consider removing or at least disabling goferd by default on RHV Host Images.
