We'd like to have in the install guide to note that for External Databases we support PostgreSQL 9.2 or newer (along with the existing Oracle options). This change should also be mentioned within Release Notes for 5.7. Cliff So, this will be for NEW Installations. For a Customer already running External Oracle 8.4 with Satellite 5.6, they do not need to upgrade to postgreSQL 9.2 to upgrade to 5.7. They can run an upgraded (from 5.6) 5.7 with external postgreSQL 8.4. So, I'd expect the note/change in Release Note and/or Install Guide clarifies that this is for new installs of 5.7 while existing External 5.6 customers running postgreSQL 8.4 can upgrade to 5.7 without the requirement to upgrade the database version to 9.2 as well. Cliff This has been pushed publicly in the Installation Guide: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/5.7/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Hardware_Requirements.html Also in the Release Notes: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/5.7/html/Release_Notes/chap-Red_Hat_Satellite-Release_Notes-Product_Notes.html |
