Description of problem: The installation step here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_insights/2020-04/html-single/remediating_issues_across_your_red_hat_satellite_infrastructure_using_red_hat_insights/index#configuring-your-satellite-infrastructure-to-communicate-with-insights Needs an additional flag to work around an issue we have as noted in the Satellite product (BZ 1863597). Can we get the installation command updated to include the --upgrade flag: # satellite-installer \ --enable-foreman-plugin-inventory-upload \ --foreman-proxy-plugin-remote-execution-ssh-install-key true \ --upgrade
The bug mentioned above likely won't be fixed until Spring 2021 or later. The --upgrade flag will never actively harm the Satellite even if in future versions it is a NO-OP. I'd still vote we get this included in the docs, as the time before resolution is still some time from now
Hi Mike, Does the --upgrade flag apply to both 6.8 and 6.7, so both instances need the addition? The document has On Satellite Server 6.8 and later, enter the following command: # satellite-installer \ --enable-foreman-plugin-rh-cloud \ --foreman-proxy-plugin-remote-execution-ssh-install-key true On Satellite Server 6.7 and earlier, enter the following command: # satellite-installer \ --enable-foreman-plugin-inventory-upload \ --foreman-proxy-plugin-remote-execution-ssh-install-key true
no need for the --upgrade flag for 6.8 as it is a noop, we want the --upgrade flag added for 6.7: On Satellite Server 6.8 and later, enter the following command: # satellite-installer \ --enable-foreman-plugin-rh-cloud \ --foreman-proxy-plugin-remote-execution-ssh-install-key true On Satellite Server 6.7 and earlier, enter the following command: # satellite-installer \ --enable-foreman-plugin-inventory-upload \ --foreman-proxy-plugin-remote-execution-ssh-install-key true \ --upgrade

Received reports from a customer that the docs link above is missing the \ in the command here after "--foreman-proxy-plugin-remote-execution-ssh-install-key true" see: # satellite-installer \ --enable-foreman-plugin-inventory-upload \ --foreman-proxy-plugin-remote-execution-ssh-install-key true --upgrade this should be: # satellite-installer \ --enable-foreman-plugin-inventory-upload \ --foreman-proxy-plugin-remote-execution-ssh-install-key true \ --upgrade This means customers copy-pasting the command do not get the --upgrade line in the pasted command and the upgrade command is not issued. Can we get this corrected?
This correction will be completed today, 15 Dec 2020.
