Description Partha Aji 2010-08-24 15:47:15 UTC

As of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593896 we moved the Kickstart Partitioning section of a KS profile from it being commands to a blob in rhnKsData. 
To massage the existing data an upgrade script http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spacewalk.git;a=blob_plain;f=schema/spacewalk/upgrade/spacewalk-schema-1.1-to-spacewalk-schema-1.2/041-update_kickstart_partitions.py was created. We need to add this to be run to the upgrade notes

We also need to ask the user to backup and delete existing kickstart files in /var/lib/rhn/kickstart/wizard ..

Comment 1 Partha Aji 2010-09-09 20:49:44 UTC

This got ported to the sql stored procs.. So this is no longer necessary.. Just make sure that when  we upgrade the partition commands look ok..

Comment 2 Milan Zázrivec 2010-09-09 20:57:56 UTC

Actually, I'd rather keep this in ASSIGNED for now, since the part about
deleting /var/lib/rhn/kickstart/wizard/* is still not part of Sat5.4 upgrades.

Comment 3 Milan Zázrivec 2010-09-22 16:21:16 UTC

Instructions to delete /var/lib/rhn/kickstart/wizard/* have been added
to preparations.txt document (part of rhn-upgrade package).

satellite.git master: 01457e4728111b2c672faf7f06a1e9565243701c

Comment 4 Milan Zázrivec 2010-10-06 11:38:25 UTC

Correction in instructions to delete kickstart files before upgrade:
satellite.git master: c738f34f5e4c651586bbe6d135432c0017a0f8eb

Comment 5 Miroslav Suchý 2010-10-08 09:04:32 UTC

From preparations.txt:
11. Remove Satellite cache and kickstart files:

Run as root:

    rm -fr /var/cache/rhn/*
    [ -d /var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/wizard ] && rm -f /var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/wizard/*

This is done to ensure cache and kickstart files are recreated with newer
structure after the Satellite upgrade is complete.
