Document URL: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/6.1/html/Installation_Guide/chap-Upgrading_Red_Hat_Satellite_and_Capsule_Server.html Section Number and Name: Procedure 7.1. Upgrading Red Hat Satellite Describe the issue: Currently as per docs, we support two upgrade paths: 1. sat6.1 beta to sat6.1.1 GA 2. sat6.0.8 to sat6.1.1 GA Please note that upgrade instructions are almost same of both paths. However we need to point appropriate subscriptions. For example: ----------------- step3 under "Procedure 7.1. Upgrading Red Hat Satellite" is correct only when user is performing upgrade from sat6.0.8 to sat6.1.1 # subscription-manager repos --disable rhel-7-server-satellite-6.0-rpms Suggestions for improvement: we need update step3 "Disable the repositories for the previous version of Satellite." with: On sat6.0.8 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 ========================================== # subscription-manager repos --disable rhel-7-server-satellite-6.0-rpms On sat6.1 beta - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 ============================================== # subscription-manager repos --disable rhel-server-7-satellite-6-beta-rpms Similarly, for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6: On sat6.0.8 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ========================================== # subscription-manager repos --disable rhel-6-server-satellite-6.0-rpms On sat6.1 beta - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ============================================== # subscription-manager repos --disable rhel-server-6-satellite-6-beta-rpms Additional information:
Similarly, We need to update following section: 7.2. Upgrading Red Hat Satellite Capsule Step2: On sat6.0.8 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 ========================================= # subscription-manager repos --disable rhel-7-server-satellite-capsule-6.0-rpms On sat6.1 beta - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 ============================================== # subscription-manager repos --disable rhel-server-7-satellite-capsule-6-beta-rpms Similarly, for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6: On sat6.0.8 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ========================================== # subscription-manager repos --disable rhel-6-server-satellite-capsule-6.0-rpms On sat6.1 beta - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ============================================== # subscription-manager repos --disable rhel-server-6-satellite-capsule-6-beta-rpms
I have some point of updates here, For Satellite Upgrade: ================================ The section 'The following conditions must be met before upgrading Red Hat Satellite 6:' needs to add following points in case of: 1) Customer updated existing CV with newly synchronized repos, then: i) Ensure AK is updated with newly synchonized repos. ii) Also the subscriptions has to be refreshed with these new repositories on capsules and clients. 2) Customer created new CV with newly synchronized repos, then: i) Ensure AK is updated with this CV. ii) Also the subscriptions has to be refreshed with these new repositories on capsules and clients In both the cases, It is very much important that subscriptions has been refreshed on capsule and client. For Capsule Upgrade: =============================== Under Procedure '7.2. Upgrading Red Hat Satellite Capsule', i) point 7 and point 8 is not required in case of upgrading from beta. Because the capsule installer will be already installed in beta due to its availability in beta which was not there in 6.0.8.
Hello, I updated the docs in commit: https://gitlab.sat.lab.tlv.redhat.com/satellite6-docs/installation-guide/commit/a1ca064317dc4ca7174f059506d6e94602abf8ca preview at: http://file.brq.redhat.com/~pondrejk/install-guide/#chap-Red_Hat_Satellite-Installation_Guide-Upgrading_Red_Hat_Satellite_Server_and_Capsule_Server Sachin, can you please verify? Jitendra, I assume that by AK you mean Activation Key, right? Thank you Peter
Changes looks good as per comment 1 and original bug description. Thanks Peter.
@Peter, yeah that's correct. By AK I mean Activation Key only.
