Problem:
After successful switchover to pulp3 i am getting by host update (yum or dnf) :
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - BaseOS (RPMs) 553 B/s | 69 B 00:00
Errors during downloading metadata for repository ‘rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms’:

And when i try the Avanced sync → Validate Content Sync for RHEL 8.3 repos i am getting:

[Errno 24] Too many open files: ‘/var/lib/pulp/media/artifact/93/728095128161579fd13ef8bb0687c6a92f4f59e9b044ac056dc52fb44bf054

Expected outcome:

Foreman and Proxy versions:

  • foreman-2.3.5-1.el7.noarch
  • katello-3.18.4-1.el7.noarch
    Centos 7.9
    Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:

The repair issue was fixed as part of: Issue #7735: RPM repo repair fails with "too many open files" on Katello 3.16.1.2 - Pulp

Which is shipped with katello 4.0. However the sync issue is different. You might try refreshing your manifest within the subscription UI page and see if that helps?

Hi,
i have done it befroe without succes. Manifest has been refreshed.
Now i have upgraded to (had some problems):
foreman-2.4.1-1.el7.noarch
katello-4.0.1-1.el7.noarch

Validate Content Sync is working now but the yum update problem is still there:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - BaseOS (RPMs) 553 B/s | 69 B 00:00

The problem is by RHEL repos. EPEL, ELREPO and other have no problem:

[root@host ~]# yum update
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
PUPPET6_RHEL_8 96 MB/s | 29 MB 00:00
ELREPO RHEL 8 5.7 MB/s | 477 kB 00:00
EPEL RHEL 8 67 MB/s | 11 MB 00:00

The RHEL repos are working again all of a sudden without doing anything. :slight_smile:
