Renaming ESX Content Hosts (from uuid) results in 404

Support
1

My setup is Katello 2.2.2 on RHEL7 and I'm running virt-who-0.12-5.el6 on
an EL7 guest (only virt-who that seemed to work). This version of virt-who
runs every hour and takes about 5 seconds to refresh 60 ESX hosts across 3
vCenters.

The names for the ESX hosts are not very friendly as UUIDs so I'm using
Hosts -> Content Hosts in Foreman to rename them to friendly names. When I
update the display_name and Save, I see an error "An error occurred saving
the Content Host: Task <taskid>: RestClient::ResourceNotFound: 404 Resource
Not Found" however, the name updates in the Content Hosts view.

The task is paused : error and I don't like leaving those hanging out there
(seems to cause problems in the future) so I do Unlock the task.

I've included the backtrace in case it is useful.

  • Should I be updating the display_name for ESX hosts ?
  • Is updating the Name in Hosts -> Content Hosts the right way to do this ?
  • If yes/yes, I assume the 404 shouldn't be happening - what additional
    information do I need to provide if a bug report is in order?

Action:

Actions::Pulp::Consumer::Update

To add - even though the ESX host "Name" is now friendly, it is not
searchable by the friendly name. I can still use the old UUID to search
and get results, but not the friendly name.

I'd file an issue with all this information in it so we can take a look.
