Instructions for satellite renames have been added to the upgrade instructions (satellite-and-os-upgrade.txt). From now on, it is possible to restore the data from the old Satellite on a machine with a new hostname. satellite.git master: da176fc39c3bc532ce3a93f367838c95e16f2482 Verified. rhn-upgrade-5.4.0.7-1 * SSL cert instruction has been modified, * there's a warning about free space in db. The 5.4.0 RHN Satellite and RHN Proxy release has occurred. This issue has been resolved with this release.

Description of problem: These are some observations made by Alfredo Moralejo when upgrading Satellite 4.1 to 5.3 with migration of OS from 4.7 to 5.5, including using a different DNS name, a dns alias: * As the new server will use a new DNS, a new SSL certificate will be build. Because of this reason step 10 of README file (Update SSL build directory to RHN 5.1 format and standards) is not required and has not been performed. * In Step 7 of rhn-satellite-5-upgrade-scenario-1a.txt file (Restore /var/satellite, /var/www/html/pub, /root/ssl-build, and /etc/tnsnames.ora to the new server), don't copy /root/ssl-build and be carefull with /var/www/html/pub, do not overwrite files related with SSL certificates. * Don't install package /root/ssl-build/<MACHINE_NAME>/rhn-httpd-ssl-key-pair-<VERSION>.noarch.rp as said in step 7. * In step 8, before starting datafiles upgrade to Oracle 10gR2, check that you some free space in datafiles. In my case, it becames full and I had to start the database restore from the scratch. * It's very important to add the new certificate to de database, as stated in step 17. * Additional step 1: remove the old SSL certificate from database. From the web interface in Systems -> Kickstart -> GPG and SSL Keys, search the certificate for the former satellite and remove it. * Additional step 2: for each kickstart profile, the new certificate must be added and the old one has to be removed. This must be done from the web interface, Systems -> Kickstart -> Profiles. Select each profile, go to System details -> GPL& SSL, select the right certificates (RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT) must always be checked, and click on “Update Keys” button. * Additional step 3: clients registered in the former satellite must be reconfigured to use the new one (/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date). Additionally the new SSL certificate must be deployed and osad installed. * Additional step 4: installation process has set hostname instead of the dns alias for some cobbler parameters. Although this works properly, it may cause problems in case of migration to a different server or DR. To fix it following parameters have been modified manually: In /etc/cobbler/settings: redhat_management_server: "dns_alias" In /etc/rhn/rhn.conf: cobbler.host = dns_alias Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite 5.3.0 Expected results: It would be good to include the observations mentioned above (or some of them) in upgrade documentation for next major Satellite release.
