Description of problem: I'm not sure if this is an installer, Documentation or upgrade bug. I think it should be a Doc bug or Release Note to say this is supported and to point to kbase article. In short we published: https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/634543 Red Hat Satellite 5.6: How to migrate from an Embedded to a Managed Database and vice versa This is fully supported, but it was released after 5.6 GA'd, so has no mention within 5.6 documentation/product release. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I'm closing this bug down because we've got a whole bunch of migration scenarios in the Installation Guide published: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/5.7/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Migrating_the_Database.html If further changes are required, please feel free to reopen this bug.
