Description Thom Carlin 2016-12-13 22:00:14 UTC
Document URL: 

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/6.2/paged/installation-guide/chapter-6-upgrading-satellite-server-and-capsule-server

Section Number and Name: 

Section 6.2 UPGRADING A CONNECTED SATELLITE SERVER
Describe the issue: 

Running satellite-installer while in /usr/share/foreman directory (or any other directory with a config subdirectory) causes "ERROR: Scenario (config/satellite.yaml) was not found, can not continue"

Suggestions for improvement: 

add a note that if the error is encountered, the user should move to a different directory (e.g. cd /root)

Additional information: 

A search found 15 occurrences of satellite-installer in the document

Assigning to Lucie for review.

Lucie - rather than including this with every instance, I wonder if there is an introductory section where we talk about the installer where we could add a note like this.

The Installation Guide updated with warnings in appropriate places is now live on Customer Portal:

(Search for "Warning" admonition.)
