TEMPORARY WORKAROUND

---
- name: Sub to Sat
  hosts: all
  become: "True"

  tasks:
    - name: Subscribe
      redhat_subscription:
        activationkey: "{{ activation_key }}"
        org_id: "{{ org_name }}"
      register: rhsm_output
      failed_when: "'The system has been registered' not in rhsm_output.stdout"

[Rikairchy]

If a host is removed from Satellite and re-subscribed, the workaround is not required. Testing this issue with three machines that were previously enrolled in this instance of Satellite did not result in errors. Adding a fourth VM that has not subscribed to this Satellite instance previously failed with the above error. This bug occurs only during the initial registration of a machine to Satellite using SCA.
