mgradm support config fails on SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Hub

This document (000021904) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

SUSE Multi-Linux Manager 5.0


Situation

When running the mgradm support config command on the SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Hub, the process fails while attempting to inspect the uyuni-hub-xmlrpc container and prepare the tarball. This is indicated by errors related to podman inspect and file access issues.

Resolution

This issue has been reported to engineering and will be fixed within a future update. Please open a case to request a PTF.

 

To workaround run supportconfig manually e.g. start terminal session for uyuni server and run supportconfig within container and once for the host:

mgrctr term
uyuni-server:/ # supportconfig
uyuni-server:/ # exit
cp /var/lib/containers/storage/volumes/var-log/_data/scc_*.txz* /path/to/space/
supportconfig

Please provide both supportconfigs.

Cause

The mgradm support config command fails due to issues with podman inspect and file access within the uyuni-server container.
