Description of problem: When there are pending tasks in the background and the upgrade is started the upgrade might fail and the user has a complex recovery process to fix all aborted tasks and also the upgrade process in katello-install upgrade might not run until the end because of conflicting tasks Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start RedHat sync of 50 channels 2. Start Content View publishing with 30.000+ packages 3. Start the katello-installer --upgrade Actual results: - Conflicting tasks preventing upgrade process to finsihed successful - Aborted tasks after upgrade - Complex recovery process similair to https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1381053 Expected results: The katello-installer shall only start the upgrade when no pending tasks are running. The user shall wait for tasks to finsih or stop them manual first. The katello-installer shall put Sat6 in a global 'suspended' state that no new tasks are started during the upgrade Additional info:
Note: during triage, it was also discussed to check for paused tasks.
Per 6.3 planning, moving out non acked bugs to the backlog
In 6.2.0, we introduced the pre-upgrade check script which includes this. See: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/6.2/single/installation-guide/#upgrading_satellite_server 2.b.: "Run the pre-upgrade check script to get a list of hosts that can be deleted after upgrading. If any unassociated hosts are found, associating them to an organization before upgrading is recommended. # foreman-rake katello:upgrade_check If the upgrade check reports a failure due to running tasks, then it is recommended that you wait for the tasks to complete. It is possible to cancel some tasks, but you should follow the guidance in the Red Hat Knowledgebase solution How to manage paused tasks on Red Hat Satellite 6 to understand which tasks are safe to cancel and which are not safe to cancel. " Thanks!
