Description Rich Jerrido 2014-08-03 17:44:19 UTC
Description of problem:

In section 2.3.3 of the Installation Guide it is stated:

" Red Hat supports Red Hat Satellite installations on a External Database using one of the following:

    PostgreSQL 8.4 or greater
"

This statement is ambiguous and could potentially end up with the user having an unsupported configuration. 

Reading that statement directly, the user may assume that Satellite 5.6+ is supported with Postgres 9.2 or 9.3, which may or may not be a QA'd configuration. 

If Satellite 5.6+ is supported with any of the 9.x versions of Postgres, please update the documentation to state that explicitly. Otherwise, change "Postgres 8.4 or later" to exactly "Postgres 8.4"

Comment 3 Dan Macpherson 2015-10-21 03:08:46 UTC
Closing this bug as the requirements for Satellite 5.7 have changed. Requirements for external database are now PostgreSQL 9.2, which is in the Installation Guide:
