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 Sam Wachira 2021-07-01 12:18:43 UTC 
Description of problem:
Enabling the Red Hat Satellite Tools 6.9 (for RHEL 7 Server - EUS) (RPMs) (rhel-7-server-eus-satellite-tools-6.9-rpms) repository for RHEL 7.7 fails with error:
'The path /content/eus/rhel/server/7/7.7/x86_64/sat-tools/6.9/os does not seem to be a valid repository. If you think this is an error, please try refreshing your manifest.'

- Refreshing the manifest does not make a difference.
- Enabling the same repository for RHEL 7.6 EUS works fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.9.2

How reproducible:
Fully

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Satellite UI, navigate to Content -> Red Hat Repositories
2. Search for 'rhel-7-server-eus-satellite-tools-6.9-rpms'
3. Expand 'Red Hat Satellite Tools 6.9 (for RHEL 7 Server - EUS) (RPMs)' then click the + sign next to 'x86_64 7.7'

Actual Results:
Repository is not enabled.
/var/log/foreman/production.log displays error below followed by a trace (attached).

Comment 4 Frank DiPrete 2021-07-01 20:33:12 UTC 
content is now present on cdn-live
Comment 5 Sam Wachira 2021-07-01 20:47:15 UTC 
Thanks Frank.
I can now enable the repo in my Satellite 6.9 instance and the error is no longer displayed.
Comment 6 Danny Synk 2021-07-06 17:54:19 UTC 
Steps to Test:
1. On Satellite 6.10, snap 7, add a subscription to the manifest that provides RHEL EUS.
2. Attempt to enable and synchronize the "Red Hat Satellite Tools 6.9 for RHEL 7 Server - EUS RPMs x86_64 7.7" repository.

Expected Results:
The repo can be successfully enabled and synchronized.

Actual Resutls:
The repo can be successfully enabled and synchronized.

Verified on Satellite 6.10, snap 7 (candlepin-4.0.5-1.el7sat.noarch). However, since the problem was caused by content being absent from the Red Hat CDN, this issue should now be resolved for all versions of Satellite 6.
