Katello smart proxy content sync error

solar2k · October 6, 2020, 9:21pm

Hi ,
I have a katello server ( kat_server) and smart proxy (proxy_server) setup using the latest version , both servers are CentOS 7.8 with latest updates. But when I do content sync on katello server, it showed

kat_server > hammer proxy content synchronize --id=2
[…] [100%]
Error: PLP0000: Importer indicated a failed response
PLP0000: Importer indicated a failed response
PLP0000: Importer indicated a failed response
PLP0000: Importer indicated a failed response
PLP0000: Importer indicated a failed response

on the client that connect to the smart proxy server , "yum repolist " showed
https://proxy_server/pulp/repos/org_name/prod/org-CentOS-7/custom/CentOS-7/CentOS-7-os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 404 - Not Found

kat_server > rpm -q foreman foreman-proxy katello
foreman-2.2.0-0.31.rc3.el7.noarch
foreman-proxy-2.2.0-0.5.rc3.el7.noarch
katello-3.17.0-0.1.rc1.el7.noarch

proxy_server > rpm -q foreman-proxy foreman-proxy-content
foreman-proxy-2.2.0-0.5.rc3.el7.noarch
foreman-proxy-content-3.17.0-0.1.rc1.el7.noarch

Appreciate the help.

Can you send me the journalctl output after the sync on the kat_server?

Partha_Aji · October 8, 2020, 1:55pm

Actually foreman-debug from the server would be better.

@Partha_Aji

I have a similar problem, please find the foreman-debug at http://debugs.theforeman.org/foreman-debug-FPOZo.tar.xz

Foreman Version: 2.1.4
Katello Version: 3.16.2

I have tried the following scenario’s:

Syncing to a Smart Proxy in a different organization (with products shared among both)
Syncing to a Smart Proxy in the same organization.

The problem seems to be limited only to composite content views if I grep the task error tab output, not ‘regular’ content views.

I also attempted to manually sync a repo via pulp-admin, but this is as verbose as it gets:

[root@deploy admin]# pulp-admin -v -u admin -p $pulpAdminPassword rpm repo sync run --force-full --repo-id 3-COV_CentOS8-Base-Production-d5fdb37d-a607-46a3-bacb-ff5b57c30603

Synchronizing Repository
[3-COV_CentOS8-Base-Production-d5fdb37d-a607-46a3-bacb-ff5b57c30603]
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

The following sync configuration options will be used:

Force Full:  True


This command may be exited via ctrl+c without affecting the request.

There is another request open for exactly the same issue:
https://community.theforeman.org/t/smart-proxy-synchronize-always-fails-at-the-same-repository/21371

If you search through /v/l/m on the smart proxy server, you will find a python backtrace at the time of the error. In my case it is always during “pulp: pulp_rpm.plugins.importers.yum.purge:INFO: [fa7ed02d] Removing missing units”
The backtrace looks like this:

Which leads to the PLP0000 error. You should see above the back trace which repository it tried to sync. In my case its always failing at CentOS 7 and CentOS 8 AppStream.

Yes, you’re right, it is the exact same message, it’s also the one I’ve pasted from the system’s journal in my previous post.

@katello I think this is right up your alley

Thulium-Drake · December 11, 2020, 12:08pm

After updating to Katello 3.18, the problem still persists, no proxy will be synced (and this is all from a fresh install)

@rbremer

Can you test this too, it seems to fix it!

Open the offending CV
On the published version, click the arrow and select ‘Regenerate repository metadata’
Sync the proxy

I did that after reading this: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3909111

Thulium-Drake · December 11, 2020, 3:23pm

Never mind, I cheered too soon, I forgot I unassociated the Lifecycle from the proxy…

rbremer · December 13, 2020, 11:32am

Hehe, I was hoping there for a second
