Description of problem: When I was upgrading 5.6.0 @ RHEL6 with external PostgreSQL to 5.7.0 @ RHEL6 with external PostgreSQL (no OS upgrade, no DB upgrade, using satellite-upgrade-postgresql.txt). In first step with `./install.pl --upgrade` it is not clear if I should use "--external-postgresql" option as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhn-upgrade-5.7.0.15-1.el6sat.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Check satellite-upgrade-postgresql.txt, step 1 with eyes of customer doing in-place upgrade of Satellite with external PostgreSQL Actual results: 1. Mount the Red Hat Satellite ISO and make sure the mounted ISO matches the operating system and architecture of the server you are installing it on. Perform the command-line portion of the Red Hat Satellite 5.7 upgrade. Run the install.pl command located in the root of the ISO. ./install.pl --upgrade For managed and external PostgreSQL database, add the following switch: --external-postgresql For disconnected Satellites, add the following switch: --disconnected Expected results: Maybe change "For managed and external PostgreSQL database, add the following switch:" to something like "If you are migrating your database to managed or external PostgreSQL option, add the following switch:"
FailedQA 1) The /etc/sysconfig/rhn/satellite-upgrade/doc/satellite-upgrade-postgresql.txt file didn't change at all 2) The /etc/sysconfig/rhn/satellite-upgrade/doc/satellite-and-os-upgrade-postgresql.txt file doesn't really make sense to me. The fix seems partly unrelated to the bug and partly it added the good formulation, but failed to remove the bad one: "For managed and external PostgreSQL database, add the following switch: --external-postgresql For disconnected Satellites, add the following switch: --disconnected For Satellites with external PostgreSQL database, add the following switch: --external-postgresql"
The 2nd part should be covered by Bug 1175609.
NOTE: With the release of Red Hat Satellite 5.7 on January 12th 2015 this bug / feature is resolved. This bug was not verified (moved to RELEASE_PENDING) prior to release. As such, over the next week or so we plan to confirm the valiation that this was indeed fixed as part of the release and then move to Closed Current Release.
