Description Taft Sanders 2018-05-08 14:51:18 UTC
Document URL: 
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.3/html/upgrading_and_updating_red_hat_satellite/upgrading_puppet-1#performing_the_upgrade

Section Number and Name: 
Section: 3.3 Performing the Upgrade
Subsection: Upgrading A Host To Puppet 4
Step 2: Search for the Puppet 4 repository to match the host’s release:

Describe the issue: 
The command provided will show the available subscriptions that match the name 'puppet4'.

Suggestions for improvement: 
I believe the command was meant to look for the repository for Satellite tools puppet4:

# subscription-manager repos | grep "Repo ID:" | grep puppet4

Additional information: 
Not sure if I'm misunderstanding the purpose of this step, but from my research, I can not find a subscription with the product or name that includes "puppet4"

Comment 1 Taft Sanders 2018-05-08 14:54:28 UTC
Another suggestion for improvement would be to list the only 2 puppet4 satellite tools repository for RHEL 6 and RHEL 7:

rhel-7-server-satellite-tools-6.3-puppet4-rpms
rhel-6-server-satellite-tools-6.3-puppet4-rpms

Hello Taft

What happens if architecture is for example arm, power, hpc-node, or system-z

(I will search for the source of those repos)

Yes, it was 


the difficult bit is how to describe the many formats the repo can take.
Example in comment 3 looks too simple for repos for other architectures

Thank you
