Environment
Airgap , TCA 3.2
Cause
The issue occurs when photon repos source URL referring to the repo on the host itself.
TASK [check sync photon updates result] ****************************************
changed: [localhost]
TASK [debug] *******************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"result.stdout_lines": [
"{\"changed\": true, \"stdout\": \"Error(1661) : No data available\\nError: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'VMware Photon Linux 3.0 (x86_64) Updates' from 'https:###################.home:8043/updates/photon-updates'\", \"stderr\": \"\", \"rc\": 0, \"cmd\": \"tdnf reposync -v --download-metadata --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=photon-updates --delete --download-path /photon-reps/updates 2>&1 > logs/reposync.log\", \"start\": \"2024-12-23 01:14:59.343314\", \"end\": \"2024-12-23 01:14:59.472986\", \"delta\": \"0:00:00.129672\", \"msg\": \"\", \"invocation\": {\"module_args\": {\"chdir\": \"/usr/local/airgap/\", \"_raw_params\": \"tdnf reposync -v --download-metadata --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=photon-updates --delete --download-path /photon-reps/updates 2>&1 > logs/reposync.log\", \"_uses_shell\": true, \"stdin_add_newline\": true, \"strip_empty_ends\": true, \"argv\": null, \"executable\": null, \"creates\": null, \"removes\": null, \"stdin\": null}}}"
]
Resolution
To resolve the issue:
1. Delete all repo files under "/etc/yum.repos.d/"
rm -f /etc/yum.repos.d/*
2. Copy repo files from "/usr/local/airgap/backup_repo.20241202052148" to "/etc/yum.repos.d/" and run "tdnf makecache"
cp /usr/local/airgap/backup_repo.20241202052148/* /etc/yum.repos.d/
tdnf makecache
3. Modify readyz values to change all photon reposync status to false. Files need to be changed:
"/photon-reps/readyz/index.yaml"
"/photon-reps/readyz/templates/005Photon" yaml files
"/photon-reps/readyz/3.2.0-24287523/005Photon" yaml files
4. rerun "agctl sync" to sync photon repos again
