Description of problem: When syncing from a master satellite, you get this error by default with all normal configurations in place: 13:00:21 Retrieving / parsing channel-families data +++ sending log as an email +++ SYNC ERROR: (Check logs/email for potentially more detail) Error Message: Client version 3.3 does not match server version 3.2 Error Class Code: 3012 Error Class Info: Mismatching versions The workaround is to edit this file on the Master: /usr/share/rhn/satellite_exporter/constants.py And change PROTOCOL_VERSION to 3.3, then restart httpd. This is not a standard configuration step for ISS. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090403.2-i386-embedded-oracle.iso How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install two satellites 2. Configure them normally to be master and slave 3. Try to satellite-sync -l from the slave to the master Actual results: 13:00:21 Retrieving / parsing channel-families data +++ sending log as an email +++ SYNC ERROR: (Check logs/email for potentially more detail) Error Message: Client version 3.3 does not match server version 3.2 Error Class Code: 3012 Error Class Info: Mismatching versions Expected results: It should work without having to use the workaround. Additional info:
Protocol version is now set at 3.3 by default. Verified
Verified in stage -> RELEASE_PENDING. * successfuly ISS'ed without touching PROTOCOL_VERSION on any of master/slave.
