3.9. Content Management Issues

This section describes known issues with the Content Management component of Satellite 6.1.
BZ 1182481: Possible to delete ContentViewVersion used by Composite Content View Components
Issue

The relationship between a Composite Content View and the used ContentViewVersion is not strict. If you re-publish a ContentView and delete the old ContentViewVersion, the list of Composite Content View components is empty.

Workaround

None at this time.

BZ 1207642: Race condition on enabling repositories or promoting to the same environment
Issue

A race condition could exist if you try to create, enable, publish, or promote different content views to the same environment. As a result, not all of the repositories that should be visible in the environment are actually visible.

Workaround

To work around this issue, re-enable the repository or promote the Content View again.

BZ 1118271: The Remove repositories option does not delete associated packages from the file system
Issue

If you remove the repositories from a specific product, Red Hat Satellite does not automatically remove the associated packages from the file system, even though the repositories themselves are successfully removed.

Workaround

No supported workaround for this issue currently exists. If you encounter this issue, contact Red Hat Support or visit https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1295653 "How to deploy and use pulp-admin."

BZ 1223568: Unregistering a Content Host shows an error in the Content Host's log file
Issue

If you unregister a Content Host from Satellite, the process completes successfully but displays an error in the /var/log/messages file. For example:

May 20 17:50:19 cloud-10 goferd: [ERROR][Thread-3] katelloplugin:148 - send enabled report failed: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/pki/consumer/key.pem'
Other error messages may also appear but in this scenario they appear not to affect the successful completion of the operation.
Workaround

None required.

BZ 1227064: Unregistering a Content Host shows an error in the Content Host's log file
Issue

If you see messages similar to the following in /var/log/foreman/production.log log file, they can be ignored. The underlying error does not affect Satellite 6's operation and will be resolved in a future release.

[F] no manager for d587f86a-5287-4369-b71a-fe4e7dc10582:3 (Dynflow::Error)
Workaround

None required.

BZ 1184853: [RFE] Don't publish the same repositories over and over again
Issue

Publishing and promoting Content View performance is not optimal and will be improved in future releases. Currently the publish and promotion process operates on all the repositories in the Content View, not only those repositories whose content had been changed.

Workaround

None at this time.

BZ 1250716: Duplicate content view entries are shown in composite content view -> Add page
Issue

If you navigate to ContentContent ViewCreate New View, enter a name for the view and check the Composite View? checkbox, you may find the list of content views contains duplicates. This issue is cosmetic only and does not affect the operation of views.

Workaround

Navigate to another screen, then navigate again to ContentContent View and the duplicates will no longer be visible.
