Assigning to Stephen for review. Hello Andy Could you explain a bit more? Are there any repos that you think might show up that are not wanted or should be changed? If we say just "subscription-manager repos --list-enabled" *before** the step to disable the old repos then the repos for the base system will show up, and that might confuse the issue as this procedure is just about Upgrading Satellite Server, not the base system. If we say just "subscription-manager repos --list-enabled" *after* the step to disable the old repos and then say "If required, to confirm the Satellite repositores are now disabled, enter "subscription-manager repos --list-enabled" then that seems safe enough. Take a look at this preview and let me know what you think: http://file.brq.redhat.com/~swadeley/Sat6-Docs/Installation_Guide/html-single/installation-guide.html#upgrading_satellite_server Steps 8 and 9 currently. Thank you Hello Stephen, My original recommendation was simply to help identify the repos that were currently enable so we know which rpms to disable. At the time we started our upgrade, the document specified rhel-server-6-satellite-6-beta-rpms, which we did not have on our instance, so if we simply ran the command to disable them, it would have failed. We were required to use list-enabled to identify what we have in place. If we are confident that the customer will always have a rhel-n-server-satellite-6.1-rpms present, I think what you have in the preview that you provided is probably sufficient.

Direct upgrade from earlier minor versions is not supported. I will go ahead with change as per comment 2 Thank you These changes are now live on the Customer Portal. Closing. |
