1115046 – subscription-manager-migration-data doesn't contain the rhel-6-server-extras-rpms data used for RHEL-7 in-place upgrades

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Peter Robinson 2014-07-01 13:16:53 UTC

When following the upgrade guide to upgrade a system from RHEL-6 to RHEL-7 that is registered using the traditional RHN there's a part in the migration where you have to migrate from RHN -> subscription manager for the upgrade to be able to succeed.

https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/637583

The problem is in Step 2 of the migration you are required to add the rhel-6-server-extras-rpms channel to provide access to the packages that do the upgrade. The report then reports you need to move to subscription manager and helpfully provides a link [1]. When you try and migrate your subscription you get the error:

[root@dev ~]# rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm

+-----------------------------------------------------+
System is currently subscribed to these RHN Classic Channels:
+-----------------------------------------------------+
rhel-x86_64-server-6
rhel-x86_64-server-extras-6
rhel-x86_64-server-lb-6

+-----------------------------------------------------+
No product certificates are mapped to these RHN Classic channels:
+-----------------------------------------------------+
rhel-x86_64-server-extras-6

Use --force to ignore these channels and continue the migration.

[root@dev ~]#

There needs to be a product mapping to map that the equivalent to make the migration smooth.

Versions are:
subscription-manager-migration-data-2.0.5-1.el6.noarch
subscription-manager-1.9.11-1.el6.x86_64
subscription-manager-migration-1.9.11-1.el6.x86_64

Comment 3 Amanda Carter 2014-07-28 14:40:39 UTC

When checking into fixing this, RCM found that this does not appear to be an issue still, could you please confirm that you are still having a problem here? We think it's resolved.

Comment 4 Peter Robinson 2014-07-29 10:23:03 UTC

This is still an issue on a machine I just tested it on. It's easy enough to recreate this. 

I've not seen an update to subscription-manager-migration-data since the 2.0.5 that is currently on the machine I had the issue with.

1) register a device with old style rhn
2) rhn-channel -a -c rhel-x86_64-server-extras-6
3) yum clean expire-cache
4) yum install subscription-manager-migration subscription-manager-migration-data
5) rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm
