Description Clifford Perry 2009-10-28 17:23:09 UTC
Description of problem:
When viewing the following links for downloads of Channel Dumps (compared to 5.2 download link) - we are either missing content completely, or listing only a subset of content available to download. We should consistently list for download channel dump ISO's for all available channels under all currently supported versions of Satellite. The release of Sat 5.3 was a bit hit and miss, need to clean up.

Work around is to browse to the 5.2 Satellite download section to gain access to all content, this though is not always intuitive to customers that content listed for one version of Satellite will work for another, even though it is compatible.  

What seems to be a full listing:
Software Channel  Red Hat Network Satellite (v5.2 for Server v5 x86) 
https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/channel/downloads/Download.do?cid=8742

Sat 5.3 channels with no Channel Dump content listed:

1) Software Channel  Red Hat Network Satellite (v5.3 for AS v4 x86) 
  https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/channel/downloads/Download.do?cid=9712
2) Software Channel  Red Hat Network Satellite (v5.3 for AS v4 s390) 
  https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/channel/downloads/Download.do?cid=9713
3) Software Channel  Red Hat Network Satellite (v5.3 for AS v4 s390x) 
  https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/channel/downloads/Download.do?cid=9714
4) Software Channel  Red Hat Network Satellite (v5.3 for AS v4 AMD64 / Intel64) 
  https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/channel/downloads/Download.do?cid=9715


Sat 5.3 channels with a subset of available Channel Dump content listed:

1) Software Channel  Red Hat Network Satellite (v5.3 for Server v5 x86) 
  https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/channel/downloads/Download.do?cid=9716
2) Software Channel  Red Hat Network Satellite (v5.3 for Server v5 s390x) 
  https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/channel/downloads/Download.do?cid=9717
3) Software Channel  Red Hat Network Satellite (v5.3 for Server v5 AMD64 / Intel64) 
  https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/channel/downloads/Download.do?cid=9718

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


How reproducible:
Always, see description.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to RHN with an account which has access to Satellite entitlements
2. Browse to links provided above
3. Note content compared to Sat 5.2 link provided
  
Actual results:
Missing content

Expected results:
All content

Additional info:
Sat 5.2 and older customers upgrading too 5.3 are likely to still use older released dumps and incrementals. Not displaying them under 5.3 links is likely to cause confusion.

Comment 1 Milan Zázrivec 2010-04-14 12:33:19 UTC
This is what needs to be done to make the channel dumps shown on RHN
consistent:

1. remove all RHEL 2.1 dumps from all satellite channels & from hosted
filer (no longer supported)
2. unlink all RHEL 5 dumps from satellite 4.0 & 4.1 channels (these
satellites are not able to work with RHEL-5 content)
3. other than what I said about RHEL 5 and RHEL 2.1 above, all
satellite channels need to show the exact same dumps
