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 Ian Ballou 2021-06-07 16:14:30 UTC 
The right way to determine the answers file location is to read the scenario file and use the value for :answer_file. However, the script now assumes it's always ${scenario}-answers.yaml which can lead to incorrect behavior.

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/32743 has been resolved.
Comment 4 Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden 2021-09-16 13:07:47 UTC 
The reproducer is (on the original host), consider the active scenario file (/etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d/satellite.yaml). That contains a key :answer_file which points (as the name indicates) to an answer file. Move the file and change the scenario file to match.

This is pretty much step 1 and 4 of https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.9/html/installing_satellite_server_from_a_disconnected_network/installing-satellite-server-disconnected#configuring-satellite-automatically-using-an-answer-file_satellite but instead of copying, move the file. That guarantees it to fail. Having differing answers is also a valid way to verify, but harder to because you can easily miss thing.

Note that that documentation caused the customer to have a problem. In 6.10 it should be gone from the docs, but technically it's still valid and we'll have upgrading users.
Comment 5 Jaroslav Henner 2021-09-20 13:32:23 UTC 
I changed the debug level of the foreman-proxy using the modified answer file on new location and then ran `satellite-installer --scenario satellite`. This in turn changed the debug level.

I have no means to test this doesn't break when doing the satellite-change-hostname, but the satellite-change-hostname does call the installer which seem fine, so I consider this as VERIFIED.
