Description Ivan Necas 2016-04-08 15:44:26 UTC 
Description of problem:

Relates to the https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1294247.

Before doing the upgrade, the installer should check if there are not tasks running. Ideally, the logic should happen in a installer hook, but it should be also possible to run it before upgrading (ideally before yum update).

As we would need this presented in sat 6.1, if we wanted to do it before 6.2, we would still need to advise this commands via documentation (hammer commands checking for tasks). The reason for checking this before doing yum update is in case there is some unfinished task, the code of the actions might chance in after the update, which can lead to unexpected results.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run long-running task
2. upgrade satellite
3. see the task getting paused due to restarts. The errors are dependent on the specific task.

This BZ is meant for actions we can do for 6.2. to prevent this situation.

Yes, we are targetting this. I will as for a redmine project next week to start linking the issues from there.

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the forseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
