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 Sean O'Keeffe 2020-09-17 10:06:03 UTC 
Description of problem:
Customers want clarity on why we have the option --skip-pulp-content but do not support restore using it. Lets make it clear when you create a backup by printing a message along the lines of:

"WARNING: The integrity of a restored Satellite with missing Pulp content can not be ensured. Restoring Satellite without Pulp content is
unsupported and provided for testing and evaluation purposes only."

Actual results:

forman-maintain backup --skip-pulp-content prints
(no warning message)

Expected results:

forman-maintain backup --skip-pulp-content prints
WARNING: The integrity of a restored Satellite with missing Pulp content can not be ensured. Restoring Satellite without Pulp content is
unsupported and provided for testing and evaluation purposes only.
Comment 1 Mike McCune 2020-09-17 17:05:25 UTC 
The restore side will have a similar warning when restoring without Pulp content:

# foreman-maintain restore /var/tmp/sat-backup
...
WARNING: No Pulp Contents archive found. The integrity of a restored Satellite with missing Pulp content can not be ensured. Restoring Satellite without Pulp content is unsupported and provided for testing and evaluation purposes only.
...

but it will not block you from running the restore.

Upon review of our valid but aging backlog the Satellite Team has concluded that this Bugzilla does not meet the criteria for a resolution in the near term, and are planning to close in a month. This message may be a repeat of a previous update and the bug is again being considered to be closed. If you have any concerns about this, please contact your Red Hat Account team.  Thank you.

Thank you for your interest in Red Hat Satellite. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this feel free to contact your Red Hat Account Team. Thank you.
