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 Kenny Tordeurs 2021-08-18 12:48:14 UTC 
Description of problem:
Tuning profile 'default' requires at least 8 GB of memory and 1 CPU cores

Conflicts with documentation

4-core 2.0 GHz CPU at a minimum
A minimum of 12 GB RAM is required for Capsule Server to function. In addition, a minimum of 4 GB RAM of swap space is also recommended. Capsule running with less RAM than the minimum value might not operate correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
satellite-capsule-6.10.0-0.6.beta.el7sat.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Assign < 12GB of RAM
2. run installer
3.

Actual results:
Tuning profile 'default' requires at least 8 GB of memory and 1 CPU cores

Expected results:
Output message should state the same requirements as documentation

Additional info:
Comment 2 Griffin Sullivan 2023-01-11 18:26:09 UTC 
Verified in 6.13

Insufficient memory or CPU requirement when using default tuning profile throws correct error message.

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Get a RHEL8 machine with <20GB of memory and <4 CPUs.

2) Try to install satellite

Results:

WITH 2G OF MEMORY AND 1 CPU:
# satellite-installer --scenario satellite
2023-01-11 13:03:14 [NOTICE] [root] Loading installer configuration. This will take some time.
2023-01-11 13:03:20 [NOTICE] [root] Running installer with log based terminal output at level NOTICE.
2023-01-11 13:03:20 [NOTICE] [root] Use -l to set the terminal output log level to ERROR, WARN, NOTICE, INFO, or DEBUG. See --full-help for definitions.
Insufficient memory for tuning size

# satellite-installer --scenario satellite

Tuning profile 'default' requires at least 20 GB of memory and 4 CPU cores

WITH 2G OF MEMORY AND 4 CPUs:
# satellite-installer --scenario satellite
2023-01-11 13:08:19 [NOTICE] [root] Loading installer configuration. This will take some time.
2023-01-11 13:08:25 [NOTICE] [root] Running installer with log based terminal output at level NOTICE.

Tuning profile 'default' requires at least 20 GB of memory and 4 CPU cores


Installer works when both requirements are met.
Comment 3 Griffin Sullivan 2023-01-26 18:03:57 UTC 
Switching to ON_QA till automation is complete.
Comment 4 Griffin Sullivan 2023-02-21 21:18:36 UTC 
I was told we can switch this to verified instead and track automation in Jira.
