Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated Red Hat Network Satellite packages that fix two bugs are now available
for Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.4.
Description
Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite provides a solution to organizations requiring
absolute control over and privacy of the maintenance and package deployment of
their servers. It allows organizations to utilize the benefits of the Red Hat
Network without having to provide public Internet access to their servers or
other client systems.
This update fixes following bugs:
- Prior to this update, assigning only Flex entitlements (and no regular
entitlements) to an organization prevented the organization permissions from
being properly recognized. This update corrects this error so that when an
organization has only Flex entitlements assigned, permissions to access channels
are now recognized as expected. (BZ#701767)
- Previously, users were unable to remove add-on system entitlements of a
virtual host if its virtual guest was subscribed to a channel within a trusted
organization of the host. This update ensures that users are able to remove
add-on system entitlements of a virtual host, even if its virtual guest is
subscribed to a channel within a trusted organization. (BZ#731586)
All users of Red Hat Network Satellite server are advised to upgrade to these
updated packages, which fix these bugs.
Solution
Application of this errata involves updating the database schema.
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied. To apply this erratum, take
the following steps:
- Shut down Red Hat Network Satellite by running the following as
root:
rhn-satellite stop
- Backup the Oracle database. For embedded database variants, run:
su - oracle
db-control backup /path/to/the/backup
For an external database, consult your database administrator.
- Upgrade the errata packages available via Red Hat Network. Details
on how to use Red Hat Network to apply this update are available
at https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
- Start the Oracle database (embedded database variants only):
service oracle start
- Update the database schema using the spacewalk-schema-upgrade
command. To do so, run as root:
spacewalk-schema-upgrade
This process will update your database schema to the latest version.
The spacewalk-schema-upgrade command will inform you about the
results of the upgrade and exact locations of schema upgrade log
files.
- Restart Red Hat Network Satellite by running the following as root:
service oracle stop (embedded database variants only)
rhn-satellite start
