Topic
An updated rhn-upgrade package that addresses various issues is now available
for Red Hat Network Satellite 5.4.
Description
The rhn-upgrade package is the primary vehicle for RHN Satellite upgrades. It
contains upgrade documentation and helper scripts.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Previously, the upgrade script printed an error message when updating cobbler
files during the Satellite upgrade if Satellite did not use custom kickstart
snippets. With this update, the upgrade script does no longer display error
messages in these situations. (BZ#647769)
- Previously, the schema upgrade to Satellite 5.4 incorrectly modified several
database tables which are used for incremental channel dump creation. This
update fixes the schema upgrade scripts for new Satellite 5.4 upgrades and
provides a script (/etc/sysconfig/rhn/satellite-upgrade/fix-imported-data) to
fix already updated database tables. (BZ#650129)
- Previously, kickstart files could become corrupted after the upgrade to
sat540. With this update, the instructions to remove RHN cache data and Cobbler
kickstart files were moved from the preparations part to the Satellite upgrade
part to make sure that these files are removed correctly before the actual
upgrade process starts. (BZ#650273)
All users of Red Hat Network Satellite 5.4 are advised to upgrade to this
updated package, which addresses these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
