Description of problem: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/5.8/html-single/installation_guide/ From customer comment on the public Satellite 5.8 FAQ https://access.redhat.com/articles/3073161#comment-1188251: "The installation guide still has references to '5.8 beta'. Is there a final version to be published? The chapter 9 section 9.2.2 instruction reference RPMs to be installed depending on whether the system is RHEL 5 or RHEL 6. /media/cdrom/rhn-upgrade-5.8.0.10-1.el6sat.noarch.rpm /media/cdrom/rhn-upgrade-5.8.0.10-1.el5sat.noarch.rpm Neither of these exist in the ISO." Several things to be fixed here: 1) "Beta" needs to be removed now that Satellite 5.8 is GA. 2) the correct rhn-upgrade package is rhn-upgrade-5.8.0.23-1.el6sat.noarch 3) The rhn-upgrade package does not reside in the Satellite installer ISO but rather the Satellite Channel (or can also be downloaded from Customer Portal Downloads) - for example, from 5.7 install guide https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/5.7/html-single/Installation_Guide/index.html - "Obtain Red Hat Satellite Upgrade Package (rhn-upgrade) Ensure the Satellite is registered to the Red Hat Satellite Channel. Install the rhn-upgrade package with the following command: # yum install rhn-upgrade This package installs scripts and a comprehensive set of instructions for a Red Hat Satellite upgrade within the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/satellite-upgrade directory. " Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.8.0 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. visit Instalation Guide https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/5.8/html-single/installation_guide/ and grep for "Beta" and "rhn-upgrade" 2. 3. Actual results: stuff in several places like: "** Subscriptions: Subscription providing 'Red Hat Satellite Beta' already attached." "Click Red Hat Satellite Beta. " "# yum install /media/cdrom/rhn-upgrade-5.8.0.10-1.el6sat.noarch.rpm" "# yum install /media/cdrom/rhn-upgrade-5.8.0.10-1.el5sat.noarch.rpm" Expected results: no mentions of Beta, correct upgrade instructions and rhn-upgrade version Additional info:
(updated Bug Description in-place) This bug is actually more non-trivial since the upgrade steps are actually incorrect with respect to obtaining the rhn-upgrade package since it's not in the ISO. Marking as urgent.
Looks good to me; moving to VERIFIED.
