RH Satellite 6.5.0 my experiences (issues fixed)

Latest response

All,

I found RH Satellite 6.5 is General Available.
https://access.redhat.com/announcements/4137811
Started the update, see if I will encounter issues.

Issues:
1. cvmanager does not work anymore.
1.1 Has been reported in the issue list of the github project.
1.1.1 Github solution: /usr/bin/tfm-ruby /usr/local/bin/cvmanager instead of /usr/localbin/cvmanager. Direct applicable
1.2 Opened a RfE to get it supported by Red Hat, so cvmanager gets in line with RH Satellite updates.
1.2.1 Red Hat suggested solution: add options to manage Content View number of versions via WebUI. Not available
2. RHEL 8 KVM guests clients do not get correct Subscription when you have VDC subscriptions.
2.1 Opened a support case.
2.1.1 There was an issue with virt-who on RHEL 7.6 not reporting RHEL 8 guests.
2.1.2 solution part 1: Wrong user was used to login into hypervisor by virt-who, deployed a new config now all is fine
2.1.3 solution part 2: the manifest needed to be refreshed by Red Hat to get RHEL8 available.

Regards,

Jan Gerrit Kootstra
