  • Capsule Sync seems stuck - How to be sure

    Posted on

    Satellite 6.7.2

    Capsule with 3 content views:
    - CV_RHEL6
    - CV_RHEL7
    - CV_RHEL8

    After opening a case about this capsule being stuck, followed the instructions that lead me to do a full sync.

    The full sync went pretty well for all the first Actions (seen in the dynflow console) during a time span of 3 hours.

    But, one action remains, and pulp doesn't start it.

    Action:

    Actions::Pulp::Consumer::SyncCapsule
    
    State:suspended
    

    Input:

    {"capsule_id"=>4,
     "repo_pulp_id"=>
      "79-CV_RHEL7-Library-fbf9de71-06f9-40f5-a91e-b9a2f883c2fc",
     "sync_options"=>{"remove_missing"=>true, "force_full"=>true},
     "remote_user"=>"admin",
     "remote_cp_user"=>"admin",
     "current_request_id"=>nil,
     "current_timezone"=>"Europe/London",
     "current_user_id"=>121,
     "current_organization_id"=>nil,
     "current_location_id"=>nil}
    

    Output:

    {"pulp_tasks"=>
      [{"exception"=>nil,
        "task_type"=>"pulp.server.managers.repo.sync.sync",
        "_href"=>"/pulp/api/v2/tasks/1ec28a0e-7093-4ee1-9820-bb3108a984b7/",
        "task_id"=>"1ec28a0e-7093-4ee1-9820-bb3108a984b7",
        "tags"=>
         ["pulp:repository:79-CV_RHEL7-Library-fbf9de71-06f9-40f5-a91e-b9a2f883c2fc",
          "pulp:action:sync"],
        "finish_time"=>nil,
        "_ns"=>"task_status",
        "start_time"=>nil,
        "traceback"=>nil,
        "spawned_tasks"=>[],
        "progress_report"=>{},
        "queue"=>"reserved_resource_worker-2@capsule4.intra.dq2",
        "state"=>"waiting",
        "worker_name"=>"reserved_resource_worker-2@capsule4.intra",
        "result"=>nil,
        "error"=>nil,
        "_id"=>{"$oid"=>"60530cedc9403ab822d0a19c"},
        "id"=>"60530cedc9403ab822d0a19c"}],
     "poll_attempts"=>{"total"=>845, "failed"=>0}}
    

    This is not an isolated action. I'm talking about pulp picking up a lot of actions (48 to be precise) and only leaving this one during this full sync.

    Has been like this for more than one hour.

    Questions:
    1. How can I know the reason for pulp to pick up every single action besides this one?
    2. I'm starting to not trust this capsule, it's the only one out of 4 that I can never trust if it's going to sync. Is there a safe way of cleaning all the content from the capsule and populate it from scratch with clean content views?
