Synchronizing large repositories in Red Hat Satellite 6 fails with error Katello::Errors::Pulp3Error: Response payload is not completed

Environment

• Red Hat Satellite 6.10
• Red Hat Satellite 6.11

Issue

• In environments with limited network or system speeds, attempting to sync large repositories post-upgrade to Red Hat Satellite 6.10 or on Red Hat Satellite 6.11 fails with error:

  Errors:  A file located at the url https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/os/repodata/8c0a915e4726b04d8d2515a29c8ac07e97caf058-other.sqlite.bz2 failed validation due to checksum.
  

Resolution

• To remediate the issue, adjust the download_concurrency to 1 using below command:

  # hammer repository list                                        // This command lists the repository IDs.
  # hammer repository update --download-concurrency=1 --id=<ID>  // Get the Repo ID from the previous command and replace with the <ID>
  

• If this issue happens for a custom repository, try changing the download policy to On demand and then sync the repository.
