Document URL:
In our current Satellite documentation, we do not have the steps mentioned anywhere to upgrade Satellite with external postgres and mongodb configured.
Describe the issue:
We have multiple customers who are using Satellite with external postgres and mongodb in place. When they are upgrading Satellite, they do not find the right steps listed in the documentation and open a support case looking for the steps to upgrade Satellite with external db.
Suggestions for improvement:
In Satellite-6.10 documentation which will be coming later, it would be great if we can have separate section which talks about detailed steps to upgrade Satellite with external db.
@jpasqual : Sorry to directly tag you here. Just wanted to check if you have any inputs to provide here? We are looking for the steps to upgrade Satellite with external DB, so the same can be included in our documentation.
Re-opening this doc bug as instruction added in the documentation is for the new installation not for upgrading satellite when we have external DB.
Expecting :
1) what steps do we need to take before upgrading the satellite server when the database is configured on a remote server.
2) Any prerequisites to follow before upgrading the database?
3) Does the satellite upgrade need an option to add in 'foreman-maintain upgrade run --target-version 6.x' ?
