Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Thom Carlin 2016-12-13 22:00:14 UTC 
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: 

Section 6.2 UPGRADING A CONNECTED SATELLITE SERVER
Describe the issue: 

Running satellite-installer while in /usr/share/foreman directory (or any other directory with a config subdirectory) causes "ERROR: Scenario (config/satellite.yaml) was not found, can not continue"

Suggestions for improvement: 

add a note that if the error is encountered, the user should move to a different directory (e.g. cd /root)

Additional information:

Assigning to Lucie for review.

Lucie - rather than including this with every instance, I wonder if there is an introductory section where we talk about the installer where we could add a note like this.
Comment 7 Lucie Jirakova 2017-02-07 17:07:34 UTC 
The Installation Guide updated with warnings in appropriate places is now live on Customer Portal:
