Description: Scripted removal of old composite & content view versions (n munus 1 by default)
Scripted Tasks:
- Delete 'content' view versions older than n-1 (keep previous version for rollback purposes)
- Delete 'composite' view versions older than n-1 (keep previous version for rollback purposes)
- Move related pulp yum content to a backup directory to be manually deleted at a later date (see additional note)
Usage:
- The script should be safe to execute with
DEBUG = True. - Carefully review the stdout before setting
DEBUG = False.
Additional Note: This script contains a workaround for Red Hat internal Bugzilla #1184442 & #1317057 for Satellite 6.1.x Note: This is not an official solution. You should probably contact Red Hat support first.
The aforementioned bugs result in content not being removed from disk when content versions are deleted via the web GUI. Although there are a few content directories related to the bug, the majority of the disk space can be recovered by only removing the yum content associated with the deleted versions.
WARNING:
All versions NOT associated with a lifecycle will be removed with the exception of one previous version.
Testing: Tested on Satellite 6.1.x -> 6.3.5
