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.

Section Number and Name: 

2.5.2. Upgrading Satellite Clients

Describe the issue: 

Text says "You must upgrade all clients to the new version of katello-agent so that your clients are compatible with Satellite Server."


It is not practical to do this at the same time. There will always be some time required and large organizations need days or weeks not hours.

Suggestions for improvement: 

Investigate real requirements, update text.

Additional information:

The https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1529682 is the same issue but talks about sat6-tools in general instead of pure katello-agent.
