Can I ask - since the unregister, reregister workaround is cluebat, what
are we to do when the subscription-manager refresh doesn't work as you
state it does?

We have systems - that I've just updated - but are not finding the new
redhat.repo or the updates therein.

Whereas the unregister, reregister workaround is shown to work,
consistently.

So would "subscription-manager refresh".
When you change repos, your subscription changes, but it is not pulled
in on every yum invocation.

You can set full_refresh_on_yum = 1 in rhsm.conf, but even then not
every aspect is properly updated [1].

Also, I would suggest against using sub-man unregister && sub-man
register as a cluebat workaround. The subscription certificate is also
used for katello-agent, and if you don't restart it after doing the
sub-man dance, you end up without the ability to apply errata via
katello-agent.

I have discovered that my traditional method was finally deprecated and it
didn't work.

But I also found that the slightly easier work around works:


subscription-manager repos

For whatever reason, that refreshes the redhat.repo.

Re: [foreman-users] Katello 3.4 (Oud Bruin) Released!

2017-05-29 Thread Lachlan Musicman 
Great, thanks.

I am seeing another issue:

 - add the various new products (pulp-3.4, katello-3.4, foreman-1.15 etc)
to the Katello Content View (with or without removing pulp-3.3,
katello-3.3, foreman-1.14) via (in UI) Yum Content, Repository Selection
 - publish a new version of the Katello CV
 - publish a new version of the Utility Server Composite Content View which
includes the newly published Katello CV
 - confirm they exist by going into Content Views -> Utility Server ->
Versions -> Utility Server 38.0 -> Yum Content - Versions -> Yum
repositories and confirm that the products are now in the new version
 - promote the relevant host to the new Utility Server CCV
 - yum clean all, all good
 - yum upgrade doesn't recognise new repos. If I look into
/etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo and the new products aren't listed in that
file.


In order to get it to work, traditionally I've then performed:

subscription-manager identity
subscription-manager unsubscribe
subscription-manager register --org="ACMI" --activationkey="Utility Server"


But I feel like this should be unnecessary.

If I promote the server to a new version I'd expect the changes to be
reflected in the repos available?

Am I doing something wrong with regard to how I'm managing my CV/CCVs or
pushing changes out?

Cheers
L.

2017-05-29 Thread Eric D Helms 
The foreman-release-scl ensures that the necessary SCL epositories are
setup and configured for a typical installation. If you are importing all
the necessary repositories into Katello and using that yourself then I
wouldn't worry about it.

Re: [foreman-users] Katello 3.4 (Oud Bruin) Released!

2017-05-29 Thread Lachlan Musicman 
Thanks for all the hard work.

I'd like to ask a question about the upgrade instructions.

In step 3, what does the line

  yum update -y foreman-release-scl

do?

The other two lines make sense. This one, I don't quite understand.

We host Katello on katello, so there is some jiggery-pokery with
moving products and content views around,
and deploying them.

Adding a new product (pulp-3.4, client-3.4, candlepin-3.4,
katello-3.4, plugins-1.15, foreman-1.15 etc) is easy
enough as a sub for the other two lines in that instruction.

I'm not 100% sure what the foreman-release-scl does? We are tracking
the various extra repos as necessary,
I presume they are kept up to date, since they aren't as explicitly
versioned. (rhsc, sig, passenger, puppet).

I usually just ignore this step, but that is bad practice - what does it do?

cheers

L.
