Issue

  • The Satellite bootstrap script stops with message below,
MINOR MANUAL EDITING OF THIS FILE MAY BE REQUIRED!

If this bootstrap script was created during the initial installation
of an Red Hat Satellite, the ACTIVATION_KEYS, and ORG_GPG_KEY values will
probably *not* be set (see below). If this is the case, please do the
following:
  - copy this file to a name specific to its use.
    (e.g., to bootstrap-SOME_NAME.sh - like bootstrap-web-servers.sh.)
  - on the website create an activation key or keys for the system(s) to
    be registered.
  - edit the values of the VARIABLES below (in this script) as
    appropriate:
    - ACTIVATION_KEYS needs to reflect the activation key(s) value(s)
      from the website. XKEY or XKEY,YKEY
    - ORG_GPG_KEY needs to be set to the name(s) of the corporate public
      GPG key filename(s) (residing in /var/www/html/pub) if appropriate. XKEY or XKEY,YKEY

Verify that the script variable settings are correct:
    - CLIENT_OVERRIDES should be only set differently if a customized
      client-config-overrides-VER.txt file was created with a different
      name.
    - ensure the value of HOSTNAME is correct.
    - ensure the value of ORG_CA_CERT is correct.
