This issue has been reported to the Red Hat Engineering team via the This content is not included.Bugzilla 2109594 and has been fixed in Red Hat Satellite 6.12 through errata RHSA-2022:8506.

If the upgrade to 6.12 is not possible, Then refer to the following steps to fix this problem manually.

  • Ensure to have a VM snapshot or backup is present for the concerned satellite server.

  • Ensure no paused or running tasks are there. Go to the Satellite UI --> Monitor --> Tasks page to verify the same.

  • Clean up the permissions and filters related to DockerRegistry and Container resources:

    # cat << EOF | foreman-rake console
perms = Permission.where(:resource_type => [:DockerRegistry, :Container])
perms.each { |perm| perm.filters.destroy_all }
perms.destroy_all
EOF

  • (Optionally) Restart the services of the satellite server and perform a basic health check.

    # satellite-maintain service restart
# sleep 20 && hammer ping

  • Execute the following rake command and If it lists a few permissions, then that indicates some unrequired data is still present in the database.

    # echo -e "conf.echo=false \n pp Permission.where(:resource_type => [:DockerRegistry, :Container])" | foreman-rake console
