We are currently on Katello 3.1 and Foreman 1.12. I am planning to upgrade
to Katello 3.4. Before I run the upgrade steps, I would like to ensure that
all weekly sync jobs are in sync with their respective repositories. CentOS
5 and EPEL 5 sync jobs are in "Sync incomplete" status because the
corresponding repositories no longer exist at centos.org and
fedoraproject.org. I do not see a way to prevent these repositories from
being sync'd from the weekly sync schedule without removing the repos from
CentOS product. Please note that CentOS 5 and EPEL 5 repos are included in
a published CV subscribed by legacy CentOS 5 hosts. So, removing the repos
from the CV is not an option as the legacy hosts are still in use and may
need a package update until they are decommissioned.
My main concern is attempting to upgrade Katello with CentOS 5 sync jobs in
"sync incomplete" status may cause issues during the upgrade. Does anyone
have any recommendation as to how to get around this problem? Thanks!
hey Soubhadra,
In this case, you can go into dynflow for each task (view the task details
and then click the dynflow console button) and try skipping the steps that
are erroring. This generally isn't a recommended approach, but in the case
of syncs, its ok. Best of luck with your upgrade!
