Disconnected Satellite 6.3 / Registered RHEL 7.5 Client repomd.xml not found
Hello,
I have a disconnected Satellite 6.3.1 running. I imported content from a "swing" server. The Sync was successful. I'm using the Default Org and Default CV. I'm running VMware Hypervisors so I installed virt-who on the Sat server and discovered all my ESXi hosts. I assigned each Content Host (ESXi) a RHEL for VDC STD subscription and a Smart Mgmt for Unlimited Guests sub. Everything is registered.
I created an activation key with NO subscriptions. For Repo sets on the activation key, I did enabled all the RHEL 7 repos (optional, extras, supplementary, common, etc.) The RHEL 7 Base was already enabled by default.
I deployed a RHEL 7.5 server and registered the machine. It appeared to register ok. A subscription-manager status is Current and the WebUI shows the hosts as registered (katello-client not installed at this point). subscription-manager repos command shows all the repos i enabled in the activation key show as enabled on the client.
I ran rm -rf /var/cache/yum/* | yum clean all, then a did a yum repolist. The result was the image attached.
I checked out the article as suggested, which lead me here https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2802131
As suggested I inspected /var/lib/pulp/published/ and noticed folders/repos were missing, specifically the once that are erring out in the attached image. This leads me to believe that these repos have not been published (which is weird considering its the Default Org and CV) or the repos are corrupt.
I ran a full sync on one of the problem repos, which was successful (according to the web interface), then on the client I cleared yum cache and checked again, no change, same errors.
Any thoughts on this?

Tim, just as a check, please rule out this solution id https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2850911
Did you publish & presented the content view for your systems?
Let us know how this goes, someone ought to chime in.

I made activation keys for servers, workstations. We still have a smattering of RHEL 6 servers, mostly RHEL 7 servers, and 7 workstations. The activation keys assign the channels in our case. (this is just for reference).
The issue you're experiencing I've seen in that solution ID I posted. Some security settings for common security configurations have one set repo_gpgcheck to 1 (which fails) however you might be facing a different issue.
let us know

Hello Tim,
I do not see the picture, could you add the error as inline text?

Hi Tim,
repo_gpgcheck is the setting RJ is referring to. Did you check this?

Tim, please validate/make sure "repo_gpgcheck=1" is not in the /etc/yum.conf earlier in the file to be 100% certain this issue is not causing the problem...
egrep repo_gpgcheck /etc/yum.conf
From the previous article I cited...
Root Cause
Currently Red Hat products (Customer Portal, Red Hat Satellite,
RHUI..etc) does not support repo gpgcheck option yet.
Yum was trying to download repomd.xml.asc as repo_gpgcheck was set to 1.
As yum was unable to locate repomd.xml.asc on the server due to
GPG armor disabled, it was failing with [Errno 14] HTTPS
Error 404 - Not Found error message.
I suspect you have checked this, but it is worthwhile enough to validate/rule out that this issue is not plagueing you with repo_gpgcheck=1 which will fail

Tim, I see your reply now...
You might have channel sync issues where something didn't come down right, namely the directories with repomd xml files.
Perhaps do a manual synchronization, refresh your manifest. If needed, open a case with Red Hat.
Kind Regards
RJ
