Document URL:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/6.2/paged/installation-guide/chapter-7-updating-satellite-server-capsule-server-and-content-hosts

Section Number and Name:
7.3. Updating Content Hosts

Describe the issue:
Satellite 6.2.4 provides `satellite-tools-upgrade` package which when installed in the registered hosts - will disable 6.1 repo and enable 6.2 repo on the registered hosts.

Suggestions for improvement: 
The information about `satellite-tools-upgrade` package should be included in Section 7.3 - Updating Content Hosts

Hello

I think this needs to go in the *Upgrading Satellite Clients* section:

Hello

When updating katello-agent via the web UI you will hot this bug:


Bug 1291960 - updating katello-agent package via webui has undesired result


I will have to add a note to the new "Upgrade Satellite Clients Using the satellite-tools-upgrade Package" procedure. Or wait for that bug to clear.
