Description Juan Orti 2022-07-20 08:22:29 UTC
We need to document how to transition a RHV 4.4 SP1 installation to the EUS channels once they are available. These are some questions that come to mind, feel free to expand: 

Hypervisors:
  - Is RHVH going to be available in EUS or should the RHVH hosts be migrated to RHEL?
  - What repositories should a RHEL host use?
  - Is EUS going to be available for platforms other than x86_64?
  
Manager:
  - Does the manager need to stick with RHEL 8.6 EUS too?
  - What repositories should the manager use?

Comment 1 Michal Skrivanek 2022-07-26 07:26:03 UTC
other than documentation we want to make a code change too

as for questions, bugzilla is not the best place to discuss

Hi Michal, my intention with this bug is to have the upgrade procedure with all the steps needed to transition to EUS clearly documented. We should know the details in advance to avoid customers upgrading to RHEL 8.7 inadvertently. For example, should we start recommending things like setting a fixed release with "subscription-manager release --set=8.6" for the hosts and the manager?

We can discuss the details outside of bugzilla and keep this bug to track that the documentation is updated.

Comment 3 Marina Kalinin 2022-07-28 14:59:02 UTC
I agree with having "subscription-manager release --set=8.6" as a default now for all customers.
