Document URL: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.12/html-single/upgrading_and_updating_red_hat_satellite/index#updating_disconnected_satellite_server Section Number and Name: 7.Enter the reposync command: # reposync --delete --download-metadata -p ~/Satellite-repos -n \ -r rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms \ -r rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms \ -r satellite-6.12-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ -r satellite-maintenance-6.12-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms Describe the issue: Seems like the reposync command have different option on RHEL 7 and 8 OS. For example: RHEL7: # reposync --help ~~~ -r REPOID, --repoid=REPOID specify repo ids to query, can be specified multiple times (default is all enabled) ~~~~ RHEL8: # reposync --help ~~~~ --repo [repo], --repoid [repo] enable just specific repositories by an id or a glob, can be specified multiple times ~~~~ Suggestions for improvement: need to correct to: # reposync --delete --download-metadata -p ~/Satellite-repos -n \ --repoid rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms \ --repoid rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms \ --repoid satellite-6.12-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ --repoid satellite-maintenance-6.12-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms Additional information: Also we can correct this in Satellite 6.11 doc for RHEL8

VERIFIED. @Upgrading and Updating Red Hat Satellite for 6.13 3.2. Updating Disconnected Satellite Server 7. Enter the reposync command: # reposync --delete --download-metadata -p ~/Satellite-repos -n \ --disableplugin=foreman-protector \ --repoid rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms \ --repoid rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms \ --repoid satellite-6.13-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ --repoid satellite-maintenance-6.13-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms >>> reposync command is correct (incl. the workaround)
