The org.migrateSystems API call fails on Xen hosts

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • The org.migrateSystems API call fails on Xen hosts fails with an ISE and "deleted object would be re-saved by cascade (remove deleted object from associations)" in /var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out. 
  • The migrate-system-profile (from the spacewalk-utils package) suffers from the same problem. 
  • The impact of org.migrateSystems (and migrate-system-profile) not working for Xen hosts is that all 100+ hosts to be migrated now need to be deleted from Satellite and manually rejoined with the loss of action history, group memberships, config channels, etc.
