Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • While upgrading to Red Hat Satellite 6.9 or above, in some scenarios, the upgrade fails with the following error:

    [ERROR ] [configure] /Stage[main]/Foreman::Database/Foreman::Rake[db:seed]/Exec[foreman-rake-db:seed]: Failed to call refresh: '/usr/sbin/foreman-rake db:seed' returned 1 instead of one of [0]
    [ERROR ] [configure] /Stage[main]/Foreman::Database/Foreman::Rake[db:seed]/Exec[foreman-rake-db:seed]: '/usr/sbin/foreman-rake db:seed' returned 1 instead of one of [0]
    
  • Running the db:seed command manually results in the following error:

    # foreman-rake db:seed --trace --verbose
    ** Invoke db:seed (first_time)
    ** Invoke db:load_config (first_time)
    ** Invoke environment (first_time)
