Satellite 6.1 Capsule Sync Error: Host did not respond within 20 seconds

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • User attempts to synchronize a Capsule with hammer and receives error:
# hammer capsule content synchronize  --id 2
[.................................................................................................                                 ] [75%]
Host did not respond within 20 seconds. Is katello-agent installed and goferd running on the Host?

This error is a very generic error that indicates that the Satellite is unable to communicate with the Capsule.

  • The goferd process stops responding on client system which results in issues while applying patches on the client systems.

Environment

  • Red Hat Satellite 6.1 with an external Capsule
