Verification

time is syncronized , satellite and client are on same time?
if there are no dns first add the entries in /etc/hosts on both the satellite and the client


Unregister from old subcription

with classic

yum repolist
yum-config-manager --disable <repo_to_disable>  # was getting errors.  but system was cloned and 2 systems had same id.

rm /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid

is the server still in the old satellite?  delete system

with subscription manager

subscription-manager unregister
 
? is the server still in the old satellite?

Remove any rpms from old satellite client

yum remove `rpm -qa | egrep "osad|rhncfg|rhncfg-actions|rhncfg-client|rhn-org-trusted"`



Enable subscription manager

enable must be set to 1 in the following two files:
 /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/subscription-manager.conf
 /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/product-id.conf
 

Service rhsmcertd must be enabled and running

chkconfig rhsmcertd on
service rhsmcertd status
service rhsmcertd start
 

Add the host on the satellite web interface
# if this is not done before than things will fail  like running openscap..

{ Hosts } -> All Hosts [ New Host ]
 

Install the certificate from the new satellite

wget --no-check-certificate https://myserver.mydomain.com/pub/katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm
 

Subscribe to new satellite with subscription-manager
??vi /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
??vim /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf and fix the extra s in repo_ca_cert = %(ca_cert_dir)skatello-server-ca.pem

subscription-manager clean
subscription-manager register --org="MyOrg" --activationkey="Key-MyKey"

at this point the server will show on the satellite under { Hosts } -> Content Hosts

Other options

subscription-manager register --org="MyOrg" --activationkey="Key-MyKey" --auto-attach
subscription-manager register --serverurl=myserver.mydomain.com --baseurl= https://myserver.mydomain.com/pulp/repos --org="MyOrg" --activationkey="Key-MyKey"
 

Verify subscription

subscription-manager status 
# should return Overall Status: Current

subscription-manager list
# should return a list of product registered to

subscription-manager list --consumed | grep "Status Details"
   # this will tell us if virt-who as reported the system to satellite yet ( usually runs hourly ) 
   It should say "Subscription is current"
 

Verify repos

yum repolist 
# got error: rhn-plugin: ERROR: can not find RHNS CA file: /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
 vi /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
 and change: 
     sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT to sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT
 and serverURL to 
     serverURL=https://myserver.mydomain.com/pulp/repos

? is the server showing up somewhere in the new satellite?

yum repolist , only rhel-6-server-rpms is enable
subscriptbion-manager repos # are available.


Verify that satellite-tools is enabled (should be provided with the key ): 

yum repolist enabled | grep -i satellite-tools
subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-6-server-satellite-tools-6.1-rpms
 

Intall the Katello Agent ( for errata management ) 

yum install katello-agent
 

Now the installable errata's should show under { Hosts } -> Content Hosts. 
At this point it will not be in { hosts } -> All Hosts , this comes when the puppet client is configured.

Install the puppet agent

yum install puppet
chkconfig puppet on


Configure the puppet agent

  vim /etc/puppet/puppet.conf
    In the agent section add the following lines:
      pluginsync = true
      report = true
      ignoreschedules = true
      daemon = false
      ca_server = myserver.mydomain.com
      server = myserver.mydomain.com
      environment = KT_MyCorp_Project_Dev_Base_for_RHEL_6_2   
      #runinterval =   # defaults to 30 min , whats the format?

      #note: the environments can be found on the satellite server under { Configure } -> Environments
      why is it RHEL_6_2? 
 

run a puppet agent test

puppet agent -t  
 

on the satelitte server 

{ Infrastructure } -> Capsules  click on Certificates 
locate our new server in the Certficate list and click on sign.
 

run a puppet agent test again

puppet agent -t 
...
expect warnings and errors
...


At this point the sever will  be under { Hosts } -> All Hosts  but the Context must be set to Any Organization and Any Location. 
It will not show  under the MyCorp @ MyLocation  ( Organization ) and ( Location ) context. 
Note: The context is the left most in the top menu of the satellite interface.

from here on the line with our new server click [ Edit ] and assign the proper

- Organization ( already selected and greyed out )
- Location ( already selected and greyed out )
- Lifecycle Environment
- Content View
- Puppet environment
- Content source.

note: Organization and location is already set so  why is it not under the respective context then? 

run a puppet agent test again on the new system

puppet agent -t  
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Caching catalog for myhost.mydomain.com
Info: Applying configuration version '1006165659'
Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.04 seconds

now the warnings and errors should be gone:
still only showing  under Any Organization @ Any Location context

Troubleshooting

Replace certs on an agent

stop the puppet agent service.
locate puppets ssl directory and delete everything in it.
  cd /var/lip/puppet/ssl
re-start the puppet agent service
 

Fix mapping between "foreman Host" and  "content hosts" 

loggon the satellite as root
Get the host id: hammer host list
Get the content host id (uuid): hammer content-host list --organization-id 1

# substitue the following command with the results from the previous 2 steps
# foreman-rake console 
irb(main):001:0> Katello::System.update_all 'host_id = <host_id>', "uuid='<content_host_id>'"
