Removing a distribution for a repo

gistfile1.txt

yum install pulp-admin-client pulp-rpm-admin-extensions

# edit /etc/pulp/admin/admin.conf  and change:

host = localhost.localdomain
# to
host = myhost.domain.com

# and change
verify_ssl = true
# to
verify_ssl = false


# next find the pulp-admin password: 

grep default_password /etc/pulp/server.conf

# you should see something like:
#
#    default_password: asdfkjsdkfjdkjfd


# now list all your repositories (using the password that you just found):

pulp-admin -u admin -p PASSWORD repo list

# this will list all the repos on your satellite.  You need to find the ids for the repos we care about, in this case it will likely be something like:

ShoreTel-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_Server-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_5_Server_RPMs_x86_64_5_8

# To confirm that pulp sees a distribution in the repo run:

pulp-admin  -u admin -p PASSWORD  rpm repo content distribution  --repo-id=ShoreTel-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_Server-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_5_Server_RPMs_x86_64_5_8

# you should see something like:

Id:            ks-Red Hat Enterprise Linux-Server-5.6-x86_64
Family:        Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Architecture:  x86_64
Variant:       Server
Storage Path:  /var/lib/pulp/content/distribution/ks-Red Hat Enterprise
Linux-Server-5.8-x86_64

Files:
  Filename:       efiboot.img
  Relative Path:  images/efiboot.img
<MORE FILES LISTED>


# Now to remove the distribution:

pulp-admin  -u admin -p PASSWORD  rpm repo remove distribution   --repo-id=ShoreTel-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_Server-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_5_Server_RPMs_x86_64_5_8   --not="id=NotARealId"

# Repeat the process for all repos having this issue.  Make sure to NOT do this for any Kickstart repo
