"3.1.2. Upgrading a Disconnected Satellite Server"


Sat 6.13

https://dxp-docp-prod.apps.ext-waf.spoke.prod.us-west-2.aws.paas.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.13/html-single/upgrading_and_updating_red_hat_satellite/index?lb_target=preview

2.1.2. Upgrading a Disconnected Satellite Server


Satellite 6.12 and Satellite 6.13 runs on RHEL 8 and should not require the creation of /etc/yum.repos.d/ansible.repo or /etc/yum.repos.d/RHSCL.repo files for upgrade.

To support my statement:

The ISO of 6.12.1 contains the following and The 6.13 ISO ( when released ) is expected to contain a similar directory structure:

$ sudo mount -o loop Downloads/Satellite-6.12.1-rhel-8-x86_64.dvd.iso /mnt
mount: /mnt: WARNING: device write-protected, mounted read-only.


$ ll /mnt
total 10
-r-xr-xr-x. 1 root root 4506 Jan 17 19:48 install_packages
dr-xr-xr-x. 4 root root 2048 Jan 17 19:52 Maintenance
-r--r--r--. 1 root root  893 Jan 17 19:52 TRANS.TBL
dr-xr-xr-x. 4 root root 2048 Jan 17 19:52 Satellite


$ ll /mnt/Satellite/
total 100
-r--r--r--. 2 root root   141 Jan 17 19:52 media.repo
dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root  4096 Jan 17 19:52 repodata
dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root 96256 Jan 17 19:52 Packages
-r--r--r--. 1 root root  1104 Jan 17 19:52 TRANS.TBL


$ ll /mnt/Maintenance/
total 8
-r--r--r--. 2 root root  141 Jan 17 19:52 media.repo
dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Jan 17 19:52 repodata
dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root 2048 Jan 17 19:52 Packages
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 1104 Jan 17 19:52 TRANS.TBL


So we should fix\remove the unnecessary steps from the Disconnected upgrade guide or Satellite 6.13 and 6.12
