As the latest package version is visible in the console with example “yum info ceph-common” (only after executing"yum clean all"), I would have expected that the number of available package upgrades were visbible in the content-host overview, like:
This is an overview based on version 1 of the composite view “All” containing content view “Ceph_mimic_13.x”.
The system was initially installed with ceph-version 13.2.6, so the client has seen there are newer versions available.
When changing from Ceph_Minic_13.x" to “Ceph_Nautilus_14.x” everything goes fine, it makes use of the latest promoted version 2 of composite view “All”:
On the host:
Latest version for Ceph Nautilus is seen:
New number of available package upgrades:
This all went fine as well on the other hosts, when the content view for “Ceph_Nautilus_14.x” and the composite view “All” contained initially the packages till version 14.2.8 in the promoted version 1.
I was able to install/upgrade the hosts with these latest package version.
However, after the upgrade, I saw a newer version 14.2.9 was available in the official Ceph_Nautilus repo, so I synced the product, and published/promoted it into a new version “2” for both the content view “Ceph_Nautilus_14.x” as well for the composite view “All”. Both having, as expected, more packages.
And from that moment on, for those systems already upgraded with version 14.2.8, the latest packages for version 14.2.9 were not discovered anymore.
The number of available package upgrades remains “0”.
On the host, only after performing a “yum clean all” I was able to see the latest package-versions, but in the content host, the number of available package upgrades remains “0”.
Also, after performing subscription-manager refresh, forced register, unregister/register, … on the host, it does not result in a new number of applicable package updates, it remains “0”.
Hope this makes it more clear.
Thnx in advance.
