RHBA-2016:2940 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated Satellite 6.2 packages that fix several bugs and add two enhancements
are now available.

Description

Red Hat Satellite is a system management solution that allows organizations to configure and maintain their systems without the necessity to provide public Internet access to their servers or other client systems. It performs provisioning and configuration management of predefined standard operating environments.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• The error message presented to users when a repository cannot be enabled has been improved to tell users the correct next course of action. (BZ#1266358)
• Two bugs related to the calculation of new synchronization plan start dates and the logic used to determine when plans must be activated have been fixed. (BZ#1279539, BZ#1302098)
• Two bugs related to user permissions and the administrative account have been fixed. (BZ#1304815, BZ#1374434)
• Improvements to the data in Capsule Server syncing were made. (BZ#1288656, BZ#1383463)
• The katello-disconnected tool now provides an error message that tells users to instead use Inter-Satellite Sync (ISS). (BZ#1305591)
• Multiple performance optimizations have been made. (BZ#1309384, BZ#1369234, BZ#1381352, BZ#1341338, BZ#1344708, BZ#1384074)
• Multiple improvements have been made to the bootstrap script. (BZ#1313038, BZ#1343585, BZ#1383763, BZ#1386312, BZ#1380783, BZ#1378339, BZ#1360360, BZ#1380473)
• Guest subscriptions had an incorrect link to the hypervisor. The link is now correct. (BZ#1318028)
• The Puppet Master and CA fields were not inherited during auto provisioning. (BZ#1319283, BZ#1367136)
• Hypervisor names reported by virt-who are now sanitized on input. (BZ#1353110)
• Users of discovery needed to not associate all media in order for provisioning to work. This workaround is no longer required. (BZ#1364544)
• Tasks that were in the planning stage were not shown correctly. (BZ#1364767)
• Users can now choose to view errata based on the status of whether those errata can be applied or installed. (BZ#1368254)
• Setting the service level on a host caused custom products not to be assigned via activation key. (BZ#1370496)
• The activation key user interface showed all systems instead of those that were assigned to it. (BZ#1372826)
• Several issues with Hammer have been addressed. (BZ#1379372, BZ#1394348)
• The access insights plug-in has been rebased to version 1.13. (BZ#1383511)
• Uploaded packages were not showing in the user interface due to date formatting issues. (BZ#1386670)
