Root Cause

• The initial execution of katello-installer command will create a Default Organization and Default Location entities by default. This information is retrieved from the katello answers file /etc/katello-installer/answers.katello-installer.yaml

[root@satellite ~]# grep initial /etc/katello-installer/answers.katello-installer.yaml
initial_organization: Default Organization
initial_location: Default Location

• In Red Hat Satellite 6.1, during the initial installation correct Organization and Location can be set using the below command

[root@satellite ~]# katello-installer  --foreman-initial-location "Your_Location" --foreman-initial-organization "Your_ORG"

• If the above options are not set then installer will create a Default Location and Default Organization with katello_default: true attribute set for this location. This can be observed by executing the below foreman-rake command

[root@satellite ~]# foreman-rake console 

irb(main):010:0> Location.all
2015-09-23 21:31:16 [D]   Location Load (0.6ms)  SELECT "taxonomies".* FROM "taxonomies" WHERE "taxonomies"."type" IN ('Location') ORDER BY title
=> [#<Location id: 2, name: "Default_Location", type: "Location", created_at: "2015-08-31 15:13:09", updated_at: "2015-09-23 08:07:09", ignore_types: ["ConfigTemplate", "Hostgroup"], description: "", label: nil, apply_info_task_id: nil, ancestry: nil, title: "Default_Location", katello_default: true>, #<Location id: 4, name: "LAB", type: "Location", created_at: "2015-09-02 12:13:08", updated_at: "2015-09-21 15:01:43", ignore_types: ["ConfigTemplate", "Hostgroup"], description: "", label: nil, apply_info_task_id: nil, ancestry: nil, title: "LAB", katello_default: false>]

irb(main):011:0> exit

From the above output, the Default_Location has "katello_default: true", so deleting the Location is not possible.
