Latest version of content view not visible on content-hosts

rainer_d · June 29, 2021, 1:02pm

Sorry for asking so many questions…

Problem:
So, as said in other postings, I’m trying to create content host.
I have created the composite content view, consisting of the necessary content-views and repositories, I actually managed to register the host and the host is showing (when you know where to look). The content view is associated to a lifecycle and the hosts says that these are assigned to the host.

However, the content view has several revisions (didn’t really get it right the first time…) and I can clearly see that the latest revision is somehow not viewable on the host itself.
I.e. it doesn’t have (e.g.) the latest version of the foreman-installer etc.

But (and maybe there lies a misunderstanding of how subscription-manager works) if I navigate to the host in the GUI, I can see that there are a couple of updates available for the host, including the foreman-installer (which I have another problem with, which I hope is solved when I run the latest version…)

Why are these not shown when I run yum update?

Expected outcome:
Show updatable packages with yum update
Foreman and Proxy versions:
foreman-2.4.1-1.el8.noarch
foreman-proxy-2.4.1-1.el8.noarch

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:

Distribution and version:

CentOS 8

Any help appreciated.

Hey @rainer_d - that’s what we’re here for!
What version of Katello are you on?
Did you try subscription-manager refresh yet?

rainer_d · June 30, 2021, 8:27pm

Hi,

I’m on

foreman-installer-katello-2.4.1-1.el8.noarch
katello-4.0.1-1.el8.noarch
katello-certs-tools-2.7.3-1.el8.noarch
katello-client-bootstrap-1.7.6-1.el8.noarch
katello-common-4.0.1-1.el8.noarch
katello-debug-4.0.1-1.el8.noarch
katello-default-ca-1.0-1.noarch
katello-repos-4.0.1-1.el8.noarch
katello-selinux-4.0.0-1.el8.noarch
katello-server-ca-1.0-1.noarch

Now, after a subscription-manager refresh, I get updates for basos and appstream, but not the foreman repositories I have in that particular composite content view.

Hi @rainer_d

I noticed you mentioned composite content views. I am assuming you have the Foreman repos inside of a content view and other repos inside another content view, with all of those in a composite view?

Are all the versions of the content views published and promoted to the appropriate lifecycle environment. After that is done, then we need to do a republish of the composite content view and promote that. Let me know if that helps solve the issue. After that is done, on the client run the subscription-manager refresh

rainer_d · July 1, 2021, 1:42pm

So, I need to publish both the individual content views as well as the composite content view to the lifecycle environment?

This seemed kind-of redundant.

I’m in the process of deleting all the views and lifecycles involved to start over…

cintrix84 · July 1, 2021, 2:11pm

Yeah The workflow is meant for example if you are having your own webapp, and you want to include RHEL for the clients to patch too, so you can version control RHEL and your app, then present both to a client.

Your use case sounds like you should just dump all the repos into a single content view. Composite content views can overcomplicate things.

rainer_d · July 1, 2021, 4:49pm

OK, now I have an even bigger problem. I have deleted all the Content Views, the Lifecycle Environment and all the dependencies around them (well, I believed I had…), created a new Content View with just the needed repositories - and I can’t even publish that Content View to the “Library” anymore.
