+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1782754 +++ Need to enable 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: https://access.redhat.com/articles/3875321 https://access.redhat.com/articles/3154811 https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.3/html-single/managing_hosts/index#sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-Managing_Hosts-Host_Management_without_Goferd-Making_Host_Management_without_Goferd_the_System_Default Please consider removing or at least disabling goferd by default on RHV Host Images. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHV 4.3.6 --- Additional comment from Sandro Bonazzola on 2019-12-18 08:16:44 UTC --- In 4.4 we'll have sat-tools channel included in RHV SKU. Let's remove katello dep from ovirt-host and update documentation to enable the sat-tools repo if needed.
I don't see anything in the RHV Administration Guide about adding hosts to Satellite management. There is a section on adding a Satellite host provider host, but I don't think that relevant for this. Where do you think is the correct place for this information?
Per Sandro: The section to update is 10.4. Satellite Host Provider Hosts. We should avoid mentioning Satellite packages, instead redirect to Satellite docs.

Martin/Sandro: Satellite is on version 6.7. Does RHV 4.4 support 6.7? Based on the articles above, this is what I understand to be the scope of the required changes: Affected documents: Admin Guide - - 10.5.3. Setting up Satellite errata viewing for a host [1]: Change prerequisite from katello-agent to point to "Host Management Without Goferd" in the Satellite 6.6 or 6.7 documentation. - Change any existing katello-agent links to point to [1]. - Chapter 17. Setting up errata viewing with Red Hat Satellite [2] VMM Guide - 4.8. Configuring Satellite errata viewing for a virtual machine [3] Both guides above: - remove any mention of katello-agent, replacing with katello-host-tools. So current katello-agent prerequisite becomes: ==== The virtual machine must be registered to the Red Hat Satellite server as a content host and have the `katello-host-tools` package installed. ==== [1] https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4-beta/html-single/administration_guide/index#Configuring_Satellite_Errata_Management_for_a_Host [2] https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4-beta/html-single/administration_guide/index#Configuring_Satellite_Errata_Management_for_a_Host [3] https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4-beta/html/virtual_machine_management_guide/Configuring_Satellite_Errata I will link to the following topic (exact target depends on whether we support 6.7 or only 6.6): https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.7/html/managing_hosts/host-management-without-goferd-and-katello-agent_managing-hosts
looks good to me
Didi or Sandro, could one of you please review the changes in merge request https://gitlab.cee.redhat.com/rhci-documentation/docs-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/-/merge_requests/1710? The changes are listed in comment 4, so you can see they're pretty minor.

Eli, Can you please do a peer review of this? It's pretty straightforward.
