I tried checking the github link in the error but I couldn’t find a solution.
The publish of the RHEL 7 & 8 content views goes fine and also their respective LCEs, but when I try to run “yum update” to the RHEL 7 and 8 servers provisioned with Foreman, it always returns that all packages are updated (meaning that the content view didn’t update the new packages because the sync is in error).
You need to update the mirroring policy of the repository to something which is not “mirror complete.” Products > (your product name) > Repositories > (your repo name) > Mirroring Policy, try changing it to Additive or Content Only and sync again. You could also try an Advanced Sync / complete sync.
As @quba42 already mentioned, you are on a really old version and I would highly recommend updating to a more recent one soon.
I think the mirror policy was introduced around Foreman 3.0, but I cannot remember exactly. On your Foreman version, you might have success with changing the “Mirror on Sync” option to no. Iirc, this did also change the mirror policy in Pulp.
Mirroring policy was previously called “Mirror on Sync.” It was changed to “Mirroring Policy” when complete mirroring was introduced, so I’m honestly not sure how one of your pulp repos got set to complete mirroring. Perhaps the error message is incorrect somehow?
anyway, I highly recommend upgrading to a supported release. If you can’t do that, deleting and recreating the repository may be the best option.
Hello,
Sorry but I can’t update the version because I’m not the direct responsible person of this server at work, I’ll try the Mirror on Sync option and let you know.
