Description of problem: When creating DB dump, Satellite (except DB) should be stopped Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhn-upgrade-5.7.0.8-1.el5sat How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In /etc/sysconfig/rhn/satellite-upgrade/doc/satellite-and-os-upgrade-postgresql.txt in step 1 you are supposed to create DB dump Actual results: 1. Create database schema export for migration. In this step, you will create an export of your current database schema, that later in the process you will import into your newly built Satellite. Run as root: cd /etc/sysconfig/rhn/satellite-upgrade/scripts ./spacewalk-dump-schema | \ bzip2 -7c - | \ split -d -b 2147483648 - /some/storage/path/schema-dump- If you are upgrading from Satellite 5.6 run following command instead: db-control backup /some/storage/path/ Please have the schema dump files ready for import later in the process. Expected results: It should mention Satellite (except DB - on embedded variant) should be stopped
Hmm, one more thing - IMO there should be similar warning (to stop Satellite) when you are restoring the dump on the target 5.7.0 Satellite. Currently there is: 4. Import database schema. Database schema dump created previously in step one, will now be imported into your Red Hat Satellite. Run as root: (cat /path/to/schema-dump/files/schema-dump-* | \ bzcat | \ spacewalk-sql \ --verbose \ --select-mode-direct - && \ echo "Schema import finished successfully") 2>&1 | tee /var/log/rhn/rhn-schema-import.log If you are upgrading from Satellite 5.6 run following command instead: db-control restore /path/to/schema-dump/ Should the schema import fail, you will see error messages in your terminal and the schema import log file.
