Why re-registering a host or a capsule to Satellite fails with error "Validation failed: Puppet Capsule does not have the Puppet feature, Puppet ca Capsule does not have the Puppet CA feature (HTTP error code 422: Unprocessable Entity)"?

Issue

  • A Satellite capsule somehow lost its subscription-manager registration to the Satellite as a Satellite host.
  • Attempting to re-register the capsule fails with the following error message:

    [root@capsule]# subscription-manager register --org="acme" --activationkey="ak_rhel8_satellite-capsule-ccv" --force
    
    Validation failed: Puppet Capsule does not have the Puppet feature, Puppet ca Capsule does not have the Puppet CA feature (HTTP error code 422: Unprocessable Entity)
    

Environment

  • Red Hat Satellite 6.
  • Puppet configuration management has been disabled
