Chapter 2. Updating Satellite Server
Update your connected Satellite Server to the next patch version. You can follow this process to update the underlying operating system between minor release versions. For information to update a disconnected Satellite setup, see Chapter 3, Updating a disconnected Satellite Server.
Prerequisites
- Back up your Satellite Server. For more information, see Backing Up Satellite Server and Capsule Server in Administering Red Hat Satellite.
If you customize configuration files, manually or using a tool such as Hiera, these changes are overwritten when the maintenance script runs during upgrading or updating. You can use the --noop option with the satellite-installer to test for changes. For more information, see the Red Hat Knowledgebase solution How to use the noop option to check for changes in Satellite config files during an upgrade.
Procedure
Ensure the Satellite Maintenance repository is enabled:
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9:
# subscription-manager repos --enable \ satellite-maintenance-6.16-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8:
# subscription-manager repos --enable \ satellite-maintenance-6.16-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
Use the health check option to determine if the system is ready for update. On first use of this command,
satellite-maintainprompts you to enter the hammer admin user credentials and saves them in the/etc/foreman-maintain/foreman-maintain-hammer.ymlfile.# satellite-maintain update check
Review the results and address any highlighted error conditions before performing the update.
Because of the lengthy update time, use a utility such as
tmuxto suspend and reattach a communication session. You can then check the update progress without staying connected to the command shell continuously.If you lose connection to the command shell where the update command is running, you can see the logged messages in the
/var/log/foreman-installer/satellite.logfile to check if the process completed successfully.Perform the update:
# satellite-maintain update run
Determine if the system needs a reboot:
# dnf needs-restarting --reboothint
If the previous command told you to reboot, then reboot the system:
# reboot
