Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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.

Section Number and Name: 
Procedure 16.2. Red Hat Satellite Backup Procedure


Describe the issue:
There is:

PostgreSQL Databases Backup
Check the names for Red Hat Satellite PostgreSQL databases. Default database names are foremanschema and candlepin. Find all default values in the katello-configure manual page, or in the /usr/share/katello/install/default-answer-file. If the Red Hat Satellite instance is not using the default names, check the katello-configure.conf, which stores all options provided to the katello-configure command, and look for db_name. 


Suggestions for improvement: 
There is no katello-configure manual page:

# man katello-configure
No manual entry for katello-configure


Additional information: 
I have tried this on Satellite-6.0.4-RHEL-6-20140908.0-Satellite-x86_64

Also this file is missing:

# grep db_name /etc/katello/katello-configure.conf
grep: /etc/katello/katello-configure.conf: No such file or directory

Also looks like default DB name is "foreman" and not "foremanschema".

Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.
