Hide Forgot
Document URL: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/6.2/paged/installation-guide/chapter-6-upgrading-satellite-server-and-capsule-server Section Number and Name: 6.1.2 Describe the issue: We state that users should remove Elastic Search before they upgrade to 6.2. The ordering of this step blocks the user from completing other steps later in the upgrade and needs to be moved. Suggestions for improvement: This step needs to be moved to the end of the upgrade *after* they are fully upgraded to 6.2, after say step 27. "27. In the Satellite web UI, go to Configure > Discovery Rules and associate selected organizations and locations with discovery rules. " add it after this and mention that it is optional.
Hello As this section is optional and as moving it is not trivial I decided to hide for the moment. We do not want to add this procedure to every upgrade procedure, they are already far too long. I propose that we create a new section for optional steps and move this "Removing Elasticsearch" section as well as the "Removing Redundant Firewall Rules" section to a new optional or post upgrade steps section after *all* the upgrade procedures. Some other time we could move some other common steps there too. For example, the step about "If you have the OpenSCAP plugin"

Hello Stephen, I agree with the suggestion to create a new section for optional post-upgrade steps. Let's put it after "Upgrading a Self-Registered Satellite Server", and break it into further sections for each step to be done ("Removing Elasticsearch", "Removing Redundant Firewall Rules", etc.) I'm not sure what to call the new section - if all of the procedures in it are removals, we could call it "Post Upgrade Cleanup" and specify at the beginning of the section that all of the procedures are optional, and you can choose to perform only those procedures that are suitable for your installation.
Hello The changes are now live on the customer portal. Post Upgrade Cleanup https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/6.2/paged/installation-guide/chapter-6-upgrading-satellite-server-and-capsule-server#post_upgrade_cleanup Thank you
