Description of problem: satellite-change-hostname fails to rename Red Hat Satellite Capsule server 6.7 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite Capsule 6.7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Follow the steps mentioned in https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.6/html/administering_red_hat_satellite/sect-red_hat_satellite-administering_red_hat_satellite-renaming_a_server#sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-Administering_Red_Hat_Satellite-Renaming_a_Capsule_Server Actual results: [root@scapsule ~]# satellite-change-hostname newcapsule.example.com --username admin --password Redhat1! --certs-tar /root/newcapsule.example.com-certs.tar Checking for certs tarball Checking hostname validity ***WARNING*** This script will modify your system. You will need to re-register any foreman clients registered to this system after script completion. Have you taken the necessary precautions (backups, snapshots, etc...)? Proceed with changing your hostname?

Additional info: It's happening because of the new changes introduced in "/usr/share/katello/hostname-change.rb" to update hammer configuration on Satellite but that breaks the process on capsule. ~~~ STDOUT.puts "updating hostname in hammer configuration" self.run_cmd("sed -i.bak -e 's/#{@old_hostname}/#{@new_hostname}/g' #{hammer_root_config_path}/*.yml") self.run_cmd("sed -i.bak -e 's/#{@old_hostname}/#{@new_hostname}/g' #{hammer_config_path}/*.yml") ~~~ If I comment on them at the beginning only, the satellite-change-hostname will be successful for capsule in one shot. This piece of code is not present on earlier versions of Red Hat Satellite\Capsule.
Upstream bug assigned to wclark
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/32125 has been resolved.
Verified in Satellite 6.10 snap 5, the "updating hostname in hammer configuration" is not triggered when renaming a capsule, but it is correctly triggered when renaming a satellite
