RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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.

Expected results:
Ipa upgrade should be successful from RHEL 7.0 to latest package.

Additional info:
If we upgrade RHEL 7.0 to RHEL 7.1.z and then upgrade to latest package, then  upgrade is successful.
Comment 2 Petr Vobornik 2017-08-28 11:05:28 UTC 
This bug happens if admin upgrades directly from RHEL 7.0 to RHEL 7.4. If the admin upgrades e.g. to RHEL 7.1 first and then to RHEL 7.0 then it doesn't happen. 

It should be documented to advise to update to lesser version first if upgrading to from RHEL 7.0.
Comment 3 Aneta Šteflová Petrová 2017-08-28 11:13:13 UTC 
I think we might already have this covered -- see 8.1.1. Considerations for Updating Identity Management in the description for updating IdM:

----
Red Hat recommends upgrading to the next version only. For example, if you want to upgrade to Identity Management for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4, we recommend upgrading from Identity Management for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3. Upgrading from earlier versions can cause problems.

Petr, does this cover the situation in this bug report? Would you change or add anything? If not, can I close this BZ?
Comment 4 Petr Vobornik 2017-08-28 15:33:35 UTC 
I think it covers it well. Please close it.
Comment 5 Aneta Šteflová Petrová 2017-08-29 00:37:00 UTC 
Ok, thanks! I'll just close this as a duplicate of the BZ for which we added the paragraph.
