Description Xixi 2010-04-05 23:13:48 UTC 
Description of problem:
There's currently no official RHN Satellite documentation for upgrading a Satellite.  This needs to be resolved to better communicate the Satellite upgrade process to customers. There's currently the confusion for some users to just activate a new certificate then conduct an yum update and consider it an "upgrade".   

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite 5.3.0

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See above.

Actual results:
See above.

Expected results:
Documentation for upgrading a Satellite included as part of official Satellite docs.
