Document URL: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.2/html-single/installation_guide/#updating_satellite_server_to_next_minor_version https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.2/html-single/installation_guide/#updating_satellite_server_to_next_minor_version Section Number and Name: 7.1 Updating Satellite server 7.2 Updating Capsule Server Describe the issue: As per https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3222091 the instructions as documented for updating a self registered satellite no longer work. As per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1505286 the underlying technical issue can not be "fixed". The documentation should be updated to reflect the new steps otherwise everyone is going to run into this bug and then spend hours searching until they finally find that access article. Suggestions for improvement: Update step "3. Update all packages" to be `yum -y update --cache --disableplugin=enabled_repos_upload --disableplugin=package_upload --disableplugin=subscription-manager` as per https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3222091
Assigning to Vlada for review. Vlada - this looks like a change that only affects 6.2.
Hi Ian Tewksburry, Can you please confirm that the update command needs to be updated for the "Updating Capsule Server" topic as well? The solution only mentions that it is applicable for a self-registered Satellite upgrade.(https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3222091) Many thanks, Vlada

This does not apply to Capsules because they are registered to the Satellite, not themselves. Thank you

It makes more sense now. Kind regards, Vlada
