Chapter 4. Known Issues

The following are the known issues and workarounds found in RHN Satellite 5.4.

Due to architectural changes within the Taskomatic daemon for Satellite, the Task Engine Status page under the Admin tab is no longer available.
When upgrading to RHN Satellite 5.4, please upgrade the rhncfg-* packages on any client systems using configuration management. Older client tooling is not compatible with the system link (symlink) support added in this release.
There is a known issue with the rhncfg-manager tool when used for diff, download-channel and upload-channel functions. The rhncfg-manager tool fails to correctly track the SELinux context and can fail to report changes (diff) to context or reset the context of files managed within a Configuration Channel.
If you are installing RHN Satellite 5.4 with SELinux in enforcing mode, ensure that you have updated to newest selinux-policy-targeted package due to known incompatibilities with older (prior to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5) versions of the selinux-policy-targeted package.
The rhnpush process can timeout for extremely large rpms, even if the push did successfully finish.
Due to changes for SHA256 feature, old rhnpush clients are not compatible with RHN Satellite 5.4. When attempting to upload Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 compatible content, use the newest rhnpush to avoid generating errors.
