RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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 John Sefler 2012-03-16 13:45:51 UTC

Description of problem:
Based on sprint 40 planning, newer client functionality should fail gracefully against older candlepin servers


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@hp-xw9300-01 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-0.99.10-1.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
deploy an older candlepin server (than 0.5.5 ish?)
configure client to use the older candlepin etc...

[root@hp-xw9300-01 ~]# subscription-manager service-level --list
Remote server error. Please check the connection details, or see /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log for more information.

^^^ Expected that to fail more gracefully with a message stating something to the effect this service-level query functionality is not supported by the older candlepin server to which you are registered.

commit 6dceb13072f8fe6c48b7bd38dd04c289c3ba6661
Author: Adrian Likins <alikins>
Date:   Mon Mar 19 10:44:48 2012 -0400

    804227: Fix issues with repos --list
    
    We weren't setting up a uep connection because this
    module was setup to not need a network connection,
    which it needs now.


(Yeah, that's got the wrong bug id). This fixes the repos --list
error.

Ooops.  This comment was accidentally pasted into this bug.  It belongs in bug 803756.

commit 9d4307173b2fe17289066533d939ecdd2a1196d3
Author: Adrian Likins <alikins>
Date:   Tue Mar 20 16:38:00 2012 -0400

    804227,804076,804228: Handle 404's from old candlepin servers without /release
    
    The release/ystream support requires new candlepin api. If
    we get a 404 on that api, fail gracefully.

[root@beast ~]# subscription-manager release
ERROR: The 'release' command is not supported by the server.

Moving to VERIFIED
