Red Hat Satellite is a system management solution that allows organizations to configure and maintain their systems without the necessity to provide public Internet access to their servers or other client systems. It performs provisioning and configuration management of predefined standard operating environments.This update fixes the following bugs: A virt-who hypervisor update was blocking the RHSM certs check for several minutes, which caused 503 errors and connection timeouts. (BZ#1791492) Content synchronization was failing with the following error: PG::ProtocolViolation: ERROR: invalid message format. (BZ#1791493) To improve performance and prevent problems with hanging tasks, the Actions::Katello::Host::Update action is no longer handled by dynflow. (BZ#1791494) There was a problem preventing Foreman rake batch cleanups that resulted in the following error: ERROR: invalid message format. (BZ#1791495) The comps.xml file was missing environment groups information from the repositories inside a Content View. (BZ#1791496) Attempting to clean orphaned facts was failing with the following error: NoMethodError: undefined method map' for nil:NilClass. (BZ#1791498) The Puppet module puppet-accessinsightsclient was generating excessive load in large Satellite deployments. (BZ#1791499) Escape backslashes were being added to the value each time an Ansible array variable was edited. (BZ#1791500) The satellite-change-hostname command was failing with the error: "illegal option -- r". (BZ#1791501) Red Hat Satellite Tools 6.5 repository for RHEL 8 was not appearing as selected in the Satellite web UI. (BZ#1791502) Upgrade katello-ca-consumer RPM was causing the rhsm.conf file to point back to the Customer Portal. (BZ#1791503) The virt-who hypervisor update jobs were failing with a duplicate entry for the cpconsumerhypervisorukey key. (BZ#1791504) Client registration performance times on Satellite 6.5 were slow. (BZ#1791505) The RHSM facts for a host remained after removing registration for that host. This caused reregistering the host to fail. (BZ#1791506) An error prevented the registration of hosts with a bonded primary interface. (BZ#1791879) While updating stacked entitlements, the Candlepin service was hanging on ExpiredPoolsJob step indefinitely.
