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 Jayant Bhatia 2023-07-15 01:08:40 UTC 
Document URL: 

https://dxp-docp-prod.apps.ext-waf.spoke.prod.us-west-2.aws.paas.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.14/html-single/installing_satellite_server_in_a_connected_network_environment/index?lb_target=preview


Section Number and Name: 

3.4. Configuring Repositories

3.4.1. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8


Describe the issue: 

There is a Note section which says:
~~~~~
Note

If you are installing Satellite Server as a virtual machine hosted on Red Hat Virtualization, you must also enable the Red Hat Common repository, and install Red Hat Virtualization guest agents and drivers. For more information, see Installing the Guest Agents and Drivers on Red Hat Enterprise Linux in the Virtual Machine Management Guide. 
~~~~~

While clicking on the hyperlink "Installing the Guest Agents and Drivers on Red Hat Enterprise Linux" from above Note section, it redirects to a new page: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/html/virtual_machine_management_guide/installing_guest_agents_and_drivers_linux#Installing_the_Guest_Agents_and_Drivers_on_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux and in the new page users are asked to enable repository "rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms"

"# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms"


Suggestions for improvement: Satellite-6.14 can only be deployed on RHEL-8. The "rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms" is already enabled while installing Satellite as part of command mentioned in "3.4.1. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8" section within same documentation. Adding a Note where users are redirected to "virtual_machine_management_guide" and asking them to enable "rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms" repository again does not make sense. As this repository should be already enabled by user beforehand.


Additional information: The mentioned NOTE section should be removed from the Satellite-6.14 documentation as it is valid only for a scenario when Satellite is being deployed on RHEL-6 and RHEL-7 machine which is not a acceptable scenario in Satellite-6.14.
