Satellite host configuration

Latest response

Hello,

I am testing the Satellite Server in my lab and I am experiencing an issue while trying to register a host to the Satellite Server. There is no capsule server installed so far. When attempting to register the host, the following error message is displayed: "Network error - Unable to connect to the server." However, the Satellite Server is pingable from the host and the DNS resolution is working correctly.

It would be greatly appreciated if someone could assist me in resolving this issue.

Thank you.

What exactly are you trying here?
Testing with ping (ICMP) is not really a good test here.
Try connecting over TCP with curl https://<sat_server_fqdn>/.

Try to telnet satellite from host on port 443 and port 80. It need to be opened. Are u using katello agent, then Check the goferd service on host and start the service, check the qpid service.

Isnt some proxy in charge? Either (mis)configured in subscription-manager or really in place (but rhsm is not aware of it)?

There is no any proxy configure, following logs are generated in host which I try to connect to satellite server.
