Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • When running the Red Hat Satellite 6 installer with the "--noop" flag to see if the install will work and to see what changes are going to be made, we get the following error:
 /Stage[main]/Foreman_proxy::Register/Foreman_smartproxy[sat61-rhel7.example.com]: Could not evaluate: Proxy sat61-rhel7.example.com cannot be registered (Connection refused - connect(2)): N/A
