Description of problem: We should raise a warning/notification to users with some statements like below before performing actual migration. #satellite-installer --scenario satellite --upgrade Please run `pre-upgrade script` from <location> to know what all hosts can be deleted before running actual migration. This will generate a CSV file including all affected host. You can tweak/fix all listed hosts manually. Have you run this script before (y/N) ? On 'Y', upgrade should proceed other it should exit. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Upgrade Sat6.1 -> sat6.2 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: #satellite-installer --scenario satellite --upgrade Please run `pre-upgrade script` from <location> to know what all hosts can be deleted before running actual migration. This will generate a CSV file including all affected host. You can tweak/fix all listed hosts manually. Have you run this script before (y/N) ? On 'Y', upgrade should proceed other it should exit. Additional info:
This is a good idea and I would be happy for it to be in the installer however if a user has already yum updated everything on the box (which we tell him to do) he won't have the opportunity to run the script nor resolve any duplicate content hosts themselves as he's already partially upgraded.
Yeah, that's exactly came into my mind while filing this issue, and have already communicated to few QE folks about this situation. But we should come up with some way to notify users explicitly. Let's say if a user forgot or missed out to run the pre-upgrade script before actual migration. Or can we setup something if user can simply downgrade the packages at this point ?
Unfortunately there is no way to downgrade. Users who have gotten this far can't go back and run the pre-upgrade script that we're shipping with 6.1 so a warning wouldn't really be helpful sadly.
I do not understand Comment 5. This bug is asking for a confirmation that the users actually ran the pre-upgrade script, something like: # satellite-installer --scenario satellite --upgrade Have you run this script before (y/N) ? On 'Y', upgrade should proceed other it should exit.
