ERROR: nextval: reached maximum value of sequence "katello_rpms_id_seq" while synchronizing repositories in Red Hat Satellite 6

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Attempting to synchronize several repositories or initiating different sync plans concurrently results in failures with the following error:

    ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: PG::SequenceGeneratorLimitExceeded: ERROR: nextval: reached maximum value of sequence "katello_rpms_id_seq" (2147483647)

  • Daily sync plans are failing to complete due to the problem above, and thus delaying the push of patches to required systems.

Environment

  • Red Hat Satellite 6.15 - 6.18
