Update RHN Channel information for new release.
Also section "1.1.3. Install MRG-M 3 Messaging Server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6" is currently missing content, this needs to be corrected as well. Expected content example: yum groupinstall "MRG Messaging" "Messaging Client Support" yum install qpid-cpp-server-ha http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_MRG/3/html-single/Messaging_Installation_and_Configuration_Guide/index.html#Install_MRG-M_3_Messaging_Server_on_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_6
http://deathstar1.usersys.redhat.com:3000/builds/18173-Messaging_Installation_and_Configuration_Guide/#Install_MRG-M_3_Messaging_Server_on_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_6
Note: it's probably not necessary to list the 'yum install qpid-cpp-server-ha' command here. The installation of the HA components is described later in the "9.1.10. Install HA Cluster Components" chapter.
I believe that the following description is more appropriate: (please replace the current content with the following content, feel free to rephrase the wording) ... subscribe your system to the following channel: Additional Services Channels for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 / MRG Messaging v.3 (for RHEL-6 Server) Install the "MRG Messaging" group using the yum command (as root): yum groupinstall "MRG Messaging" If only messaging client support is desired, install the "Messaging Client Support" group using the yum command (as root): yum groupinstall "Messaging Client Support" If High Availability support is desired, subscribe to the following channel: Release Channels for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 / RHEL Server High Availability and install the High Availability support using the following yum command (as root): yum install qpid-cpp-server-ha

You'll note that I've marked the last two steps Optional, because they are up to the customer to determine whether they are required. Step 2 remains Required. http://docbuilder.usersys.redhat.com/18173/#Install_MRG-M_3_Messaging_Server_on_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_6 Hmm, I've also noted that 1.1.4 is also affected, as well as 1.1.3. I've made the appropriate changes to that topic as well using the same Optional and Required notations. http://docbuilder.usersys.redhat.com/18173/#Upgrade_an_MRG_2_Server_to_MRG_3
Thanks for the update, unfortunately it is still not 100% accurate, the logic shall reflect the following rules: 1.) You can install _EITHER_ the full messaging support "MRG Messaging" _OR_ you can install just the "Messaging client support" (it's more an alternative than an optional step). 2.) If you've already installed "MRG Messaging", there is no need to install "Messaging Client Support" (it's a subset of "MRG Messaging"). 3.) Installing HA support makes only sense on the full installation (MRG Messaging). --- So the content may look like following (or similarly): If you are using RHN classic management for your system, in addition to the base channel for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, subscribe your system to the following channel: Additional Services Channels for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 / MRG Messaging v.3 (for RHEL-6 Server) Install the MRG Messaging group using the following yum command (as root): yum groupinstall "MRG Messaging" Optional: If High Availability support is required, subscribe to the Release Channels for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 / RHEL Server High Availability channel and install using the following yum command (as root): yum install qpid-cpp-server-ha Alternative: If only messaging client support is required, install the "Messaging Client Support" group using the following yum command (as root): yum groupinstall "Messaging Client Support" -- Note: 1.1.4. (Update) shall be also updated accordingly. -> ASSIGNED

After some consideration I"ve decided to change the structure of this procedure to make it flow better. Change summary: http://docbuilder.usersys.redhat.com/18173/#Install_MRG-M_3_Messaging_Server_on_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_6 * I promoted installing the RHEL base channel as a discrete step. It was getting lost in the first step originally. * I specified up-front the channel names so customers would know exactly what channels they should subscribe to depending on their requirements. * I made step 3 specific to what it actually does (install the server and client - terminology may need correcting here...), and broke the two commands down into a variable list which allows some sub-classification in the step. * I adopted your suggestion about using the "Alternative" heading. I added that this is required if you only want client only, and that the "MRG Messaging" group install option install the client by default. http://docbuilder.usersys.redhat.com/18173/#Upgrade_an_MRG_2_Server_to_MRG_3 Same changes as above (copied the procedure verbatim) and added the distinction of "MRG Messaging 3 Software Channels" in Step 4, as a visual reminder that customers are upgrading from 2 to 3 in this procedure.
Well, good work, but there are still few issues: 1.) The "Messaging client support" comes from the RHEL base channel, so the information is misleading 1.1.3. Install MRG-M 3 Messaging Server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 - Subscribe to the Additional Services Channels for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 / MRG Messaging v.3 (for RHEL-6 Server) channel to enable full MRG Messaging Platform, or Messaging Client Support only installations. + Subscribe to the Additional Services Channels for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 / MRG Messaging v.3 (for RHEL-6 Server) channel to enable full MRG Messaging Platform. 2.) You probably did copy&paste failure: 1.1.3. Install MRG-M 3 Messaging Server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 For High Availability, following channel shall be used (not "MRG Messaging v.3"): "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 / RHEL Server High Availability" - Subscribe to the Additional Services Channels for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 / MRG Messaging v.3 (for RHEL-6 Server) channel to enable High Availability installations. + Subscribe to the Additional Services Channels for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 / RHEL Server High Availability channel to enable High Availability installations. 3.) From the new ordering it is not clear that point 3.) may be skipped when only client support is desired, so I would propose the following change (feel free to rephrase the wording): 1.1.3. Install MRG-M 3 Messaging Server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 - 3. Install the MRG Messaging server and client using the following commands: + 3. Install the MRG Messaging server and client using the following commands (if only Messaging client support is required go directly to the step 4.) 4.) 1.1.4. Upgrade a MRG Messaging 2 Server to MRG Messaging 3 Consider moving the "If you are using RHN classic management for your system" from point 3. to point 1. (because point 2. is also related to RHN classic, so maybe it's better to start with this sentence), but this is just a detail. 5.) NOTE: All the issues 1-3 applies to 1.1.4 upgrade section as well. -> ASSIGNED

Thanks for clarifying this. I was going to make the distinction about MRG Client Only support in the first step, but I think I've round-tripped this ticket enough now. ;) > > 2.)

I should have sat on all this work until today and then did a final sanity check before submitting for review.
Unfortunately you did a c&p failure again in the last update. Otherwise the content looks correct now. 1.1.4. Upgrade a MRG Messaging 2 Server to MRG Messaging 3 - If only Messaging Client support is required go directly to Step 4. + If only Messaging Client support is required go directly to Step 6. -> ASSIGNED

There is repeated info, but when a customer lands on this topic directly after a google search, they won't need to visit another section to get the rest of the procedure.
