Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat Satellite 6.x

Issue

  • Unable to delete/purge content view version sequentially or randomly in bulk through Red Hat Satellite Web UI

Resolution

Method 1:

  • This will delete the content-view versions sequentially i.e 3-5 from the content view id 2. So, basically the below command is to run for each content view having multiple content_view_version in sequence.

    for content_view_version in {3..5}; do hammer content-view version delete --content-view-id 2 --id $content_view_version --organization-id 1; done;

    • Note: Kindly find organization id from below command and replace accordingly.
      From satellite cli run hammer organization list

    • Replace content_view_version id's and content -view id accordingly.

Method 2:

  • This method will delete the CV versions randomly as per their ID. We can run the following on the satellite cli and it will delete the specific versions in bulk.`

    1. Kindly create a bash file.

      vi abc.sh

    2. Copy the below code for multiple content view versions id's in abc.sh for content-view id 3

      array=(30 38 41 43 44 52 56 61 65 68 74 75 77 80 85 88 91 92 94 99 104 106 107 110 111 126 128 131)
for i in "${array[@]}" 
do 
hammer content-view version delete --content-view-id 3 --id $i --organization-id 1 
done

    3. Give the execute permission

      chmod +x abc.sh

    4. Execute the script

      ./abc.sh
