Description Preethi Thomas 2009-03-12 20:24:10 UTC
Description of problem:

rhn-upgrade docs needs to be updated to mention that pre 3.6 satellites needs to upgraded to 3.6 level before upgrading to 5.2

as per my conversation with michael I was told that sat 3.6 is the oldest version supported in 5.2.0 upgrade.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. install the rhn-upgrade-5.2.0-28.el4
2. cat  rhn-satellite-5-upgrade-scenario-1a.txt and rhn-satellite-5-upgrade-scenario-1b.txt
3. schema upgrade has steps starting at schema version 2.6
  
Actual results:
 schema upgrade has steps starting at schema version 2.6

Expected results:

if the oldest satellite level you can upgrade to 5.2 is 3.6 then these steps up until 3.6 schema upgrade needs to be deleted from the doc .

here is the irc log

Feb 26 10:20:49 michael sat 3.2 contains oracle 9.2.0.3; the older oracle which can be upgraded to 10g is 9.2.0.4....

Based on Comment #3 From  Michael Mráka, this makes sense now, so approved.

satellite.git SATELLITE-5.3: 528fe5d94777ffe436cd17ec3ca5c74464a46c3b

Upgrade documentation no longer lists the particular steps for schema
upgrade for every single schema version. This job is being done automatically
now by spacewalk-schema-upgrade script (as mentioned in documentation).

With 5.3.0, we support upgrades from schemas ver. 3.1.5 and newer (which
is mentioned in README document). About the embedded database upgrade:
I made a note in README document telling that to be able to upgrade
embedded database to 10g, customer needs to have at least version 9.2.0.4
of 9i database (which came with Satellite 3.6). If customer is running
9i ver. 9.2.0.3 or older, he needs to upgrade his Satellite to any version
between 3.6 and 5.1 first (also mentioned in README).
