Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Lukas Zapletal 2020-06-18 07:40:32 UTC 
It does not get downloaded on slow networks, therefore the kexec HTTPS call timeouts, subsequent calls are raising errors on exclusive FLOCK failure. This change downloads it in a separate thread. Side effect: all kexec calls now return immediately with success (even when the URL was wrong and the host will never download anything and kexec).

TRIAGE: Small fix, big customer. Requesting 6.8.

REL-ENG: Please pull smart_proxy_discovery_image-1.2.0 from upstream repo.

QA: Regression testing for kexec workflow.
Comment 1 Bryan Kearney 2020-06-18 12:04:16 UTC 
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/30149 has been resolved.

smart proxy is unable to perform kexec.
It is trying to access the wrong host IP.

the discovered host uses a temporary IP, and while provisioning it, a part of the orchestration creates a dhcp reservation with a new address.
The kexec part tries to use the new IP.

It looks like the facts hash is empty in the kexec method.
The behavior is the same as reported here: https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/30478#change-139614
Comment 5 Lukas Zapletal 2020-09-11 15:14:23 UTC 
Can you discover kexec host and then check if fact named discovery_bootip (not bootif but bootIP) is present please?
Comment 7 Lukas Zapletal 2020-09-14 12:58:36 UTC 
Two patches are actually needed to fix this one, one in core one in discovery.
Comment 9 Roman Plevka 2020-09-15 14:08:00 UTC 
re-tested the updated commit and both scenarios now work fine:

Comment 10 Roman Plevka 2020-09-16 14:34:11 UTC 
Since the kexec workflow issue is not related to this bug, i'm going to file a standalone BZ for it:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1879571

Since i was able to verify the kexec workflow using its patch, i can now put this BZ to VERIFIED.
