Chapter 4. Updating Capsule Server
Update Capsule Servers to the next minor version.
Procedure
-
Synchronize the
satellite-capsule-6.14-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
repository in the Satellite Server. - Publish and promote a new version of the content view with which the Capsule is registered.
Ensure that the Satellite Maintenance repository is enabled:
# subscription-manager repos --enable \ satellite-maintenance-6.14-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
Check the available versions to confirm the next minor version is listed:
# satellite-maintain upgrade list-versions
Use the health check option to determine if the system is ready for upgrade:
# satellite-maintain upgrade check --target-version 6.14.z
Review the results and address any highlighted error conditions before performing the upgrade.
Because of the lengthy update time, use a utility such as
tmux
to suspend and reattach a communication session. You can then check the upgrade progress without staying connected to the command shell continuously.If you lose connection to the command shell where the upgrade command is running, you can see the logged messages in the
/var/log/foreman-installer/capsule.log
file to check if the process completed successfully.Perform the update:
# satellite-maintain upgrade run --target-version 6.14.z
Determine if the system needs a reboot:
# dnf needs-restarting --reboothint
If the previous command told you to reboot, then reboot the system:
# reboot
