I am running a RedHat Satellite 6.12 Server. I have a VM that I am hosting in VMware. After provisioning, I used hostnamectl set-hostname to change the hostname of the machine and in Satellite changed the name to the updated hostname. Satellite can no longer establish a connection to the host. Error is: Error initializing command: RuntimeError - Failed to establish connection to remote host, exit code: 255. More than likely this is something to do with foreman.

I have updated /etc/hosts, I can ping and dns resolve the VM from the CLI of the Satellite Server. What services or refresh do I need to restart in order to pick up this change in the UI?

I found an answer on the RedHat website shortly after this. My foreman-proxy public key was somehow corrupted on the end host. I had to execute an ssh-copy-id for the foreman-proxy according to:

[root@sat]# ssh-copy-id -i ~foreman-proxy/.ssh/id_rsa_foreman_proxy.pub root@host.example.com Answer comes from: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/7012983
