Failed QA.

The errors that occurred previously are no longer present when attempting to run a remediation playbook against a host with uppercase characters in its domain name, but the playbook does not successfully run on the host.

Steps to test:

1. Deploy a Satellite 6.9.3, snap 1.
2. Deploy a RHEL 7.7 host.
3. Modify the host to have uppercase characters in its hostname:

  # hostnamectl set-hostname --static DHCP-2-241.example.com

4. Register the host to the Satellite.
5. Install insights-client-3.1.1-1.el7_9.noarch on the host.
6. Register the host to Insights.
7. Verify that the hostname includes the uppercase characters on the Insights > Inventory page of the Satellite webUI and that the same characters are lowercase on the Hosts > All Hosts page.
8. Copy the foreman-proxy public key from the Satellite to the host.
9. On the Insights > Planner page of the Satellite webUI, create a new plan for the specific system. In my test, there was one available action ("Network device naming on the host is inconsistent due to using net.ifnames=0 improperly"). This action was listed as "Reboot Required," and the "Reboot systems automatically" option was selected.
10. Click the "Run Playbook" button.

Expected Results:

The remediation playbook runs on the host, the host is rebooted, and the action is marked as resolved in the Satellite webUI.

Actual Results:

The remote action task appears to complete successfully. However, the host is not rebooted, and the action is not marked as resolved in the webUI. Looking at the task for the remote action in the Dynflow console, it does not appear that the remediation playbook was actually run on the host. The "script" portion of the Ansible playbook is as follows in the "Input" section of the task in Dynflow:

~~~
script: |-
  ---
  - hosts: all
    tasks:
      - shell:
          cmd: |
            date
        register: out
      - debug: var=out

It looks as though the tasks are not being passed correctly when the playbook is run. When I download the playbook for this plan, I can see that it contains tasks for resolving the action, rebooting the system, and running Insights, but they are not present in the input above. 

Additionally, I tested this with a different RHEL 7.7 host that did not have uppercase characters in its hostname. The same "Network device naming on the host is inconsistent due to using net.ifnames=0 improperly" was the only available action for this host as well. On this host, the remediation playbook ran successfully, the host was rebooted, and the action subsequently appeared as resolved in the Satellite webUI.

Rex,

Is this issue triaged to be addressed sooner rather than later? Delivery and QE will need to prepare additional snaps for 6.9.3, and this is one of a few issues that are not in a POST state.
