Description Sachin Ghai 2016-05-13 06:43:38 UTC
Description of problem:
I initiated upgrade from  sat618 -> 6.2 snap11.0 using cmd:
satellite-installer --scenario satellite --upgrade

and it failed with error:

[qe-sat6-upgrade-rhel7.satqe.lab.eng.rdu2.redhat.com] out: [ERROR 2016-05-13 02:26:07 verbose] You are trying to replace existing installation with different scenario. This may lead to unpredictable states. Use --force to override. You can use --compare-scenarios to see the differences

On checking installer help, I got another error. At first place with --help, user shouldn't get any error, it could be a generic message.

~]# satellite-installer --help
ERROR: Selected scenario is DISABLED, can not continue. Use --list-scenarios to list available options. You can also --enable-scenario SCENARIO to make the selected scenario available.


[root@qe-sat6-upgrade-rhel7 ~]# satellite-installer --list-scenarios
Available scenarios
  Capsule (use: --scenario capsule)
        Install a stand-alone Capsule.
  Satellite (use: --scenario satellite)
        Install Satelite server


I enabled the scenario explicitly and still getting:
-----------------------------------------------------

 ~]# satellite-installer --enable-scenario satellite
Scenario satellite was enabled

[root@qe-sat6-upgrade-rhel7 ~]# satellite-installer --help
ERROR: Selected scenario is DISABLED, can not continue. Use --list-scenarios to list available options. You can also --enable-scenario SCENARIO to make the selected scenario available.

Again initiated upgrade:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
upgrade sat6.1.8 to sat6.2 snap11.0

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. perform upgrade from Sat6.1.8 to sat6.2 snap11.0
2.
3.

Actual results:
couldn't proceed with upgrade and error out:

You are trying to replace existing installation with different scenario. This may lead to unpredictable states. Use --force to override. You can use --compare-scenarios to see the differences
[ INFO 2016-05-13 02:35:48 verbose] Log was be written to /var/log/foreman-installer/satellite.log

Expected results:
user should be able to perform upgrade with satellite-installer and it should be friendly enough to provide help options.

If I don't use --scenario option then again same result:

#  satellite-installer --upgrade
ERROR: Selected scenario is DISABLED, can not continue. Use --list-scenarios to list available options. You can also --enable-scenario SCENARIO to make the selected scenario available.

Comment 2 Sachin Ghai 2016-05-13 06:56:17 UTC
Please make a note, I can proceed with upgrade with --force option:

# satellite-installer --scenario satellite --upgrade --force

But upgrade *shouldn't* be run only with --force option.

Couple of things needs to be fixed:


1) user should be able to perform upgrade with any of these cmds:

a) satellite-installer --scenario satellite --upgrade
b) satellite-installer --upgrade

2) User shouldn't get error:
You are trying to replace existing installation with different scenario.

we may raise this as generic message.

3) satellite-installer --help
ERROR: Selected scenario is DISABLED, can not continue. Use --list-scenarios to list available options. You can also --enable-scenario SCENARIO to make the selected scenario available.


user should be able to see all installer options with "--help"


Since all issues are related, so I'm combining all issues in one bz. However, If you would like separate bz's, just ping here and I'll be happy to do that.

Comment 3 Sachin Ghai 2016-05-13 06:57:48 UTC
Note: Since I was able to proceed with upgrade using --force option but it failed at migration step. I'll file another issue for that.
