This is not supported scenario for upgrades, however the documentation may look a little misleading so I'd consider this a documentation bug (there are really no steps how to move between embedded and managed/external db during upgrades). Verified with rhn-upgrade-5.8.0.23-1. The rhn-upgrade's file /etc/sysconfig/rhn/satellite-upgrade/doc/satellite-upgrade-postgresql.txt now contains """ If you are migrating your database from Oracle to managed or external PostgreSQL option, or if you already have external or managed PostgreSQL database add the following switch: """ instead of """ If you are migrating your database to managed or external PostgreSQL option, add the following switch: """ |
