Description of problem:

Satellite restore operation fails during the satellite-installer phase after successful database restore and file extraction.

The restore proceeds successfully through:

• DB connectivity checks

• Dropping and restoring PostgreSQL databases (Foreman, Candlepin, Pulpcore)

• Extracting pulp data

Failure occurs during installer-run, where the installer fails to register the Foreman host due to a 500 Internal Server Error from the Foreman API.

How reproducible:

always, 100%

Is this issue a regression from an earlier version:

Yes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable puppet on the satellite
2. create a backup of different types
3. check that appropriate files are created
4. restore the backup
Actual behavior:

• satellite-installer fails with exit status 6.

• Foreman API returns 500 Internal Server Error during host lookup.

• Restore scenario fails at step [installer-run].

Expected behavior:
restore succeeds
