484950 - updated description for --clear-db
Assumption we got this in rebase. Moving to ON_QA for 5.7. With the release of Red Hat Satellite 5.7 on January 12th 2015 this bug is being moved to a Closed Current Release state. The Satellite 5.7 GA Errata: - https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-0033.html Satellite 5.7 Release Notes: - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/5.7/html-single/Release_Notes/index.html Satellite Customer Portal Blog announcement for release: - https://access.redhat.com/blogs/1169563/posts/1315743 Cliff |
Description of problem: In ./install.pl --help, clear-db flag says --clear-db Clear any pre-existing database schema before installing. This will destroy any data in the Satellite database and re-create empty Satellite schema. but when you try using it, it says: # ./install.pl --clear-db * Starting the Red Hat Network Satellite installer. * Performing pre-install checks. * Pre-install checks complete. Beginning installation. * RHN Registration. ** Registration: System is already registered with RHN. Not re-registering. * Checking for uninstalled prerequisites. * Applying updates. * Installing RHN packages. * Now running spacewalk-setup. * Setting up Oracle environment. * Setting up database. The embedded database appears to be already installed. Either rerun this script with the --skip-db-install option, or use the '/usr/share/spacewalk/setup/oracle/remove-db.sh' script to remove the embedded database and try again. First --skip-db-install is not the right suggestion as I already know that there is a db I want to wipe and hence trying to use --clear-db. I guess the --clear-db should call remove-db.sh and do the needful. Instead of asking the user to run another script.
