Chapter 3. Upgrading Red Hat Satellite

Warning

If you have Satellite 6 installed in a high availability configuration, contact Red Hat Support before upgrading to Satellite 6.7.

Use the following procedures to upgrade your existing Red Hat Satellite to Red Hat Satellite 6.7:

  1. Section 3.1, “Upgrading Satellite Server”
  2. Section 3.2, “Synchronizing the New Repositories”
  3. Section 3.3, “Upgrading Capsule Servers”
  4. Section 3.4, “Upgrading Satellite Clients”
  5. Chapter 4, Post-Upgrade Tasks

Before upgrading, see Section 1.1, “Prerequisites”.

3.1. Upgrading Satellite Server
复制链接

This section describes how to upgrade Satellite Server from 6.6 to 6.7. You can upgrade from any minor version of Red Hat Satellite Server 6.6.

Before You Begin

  • Review and update your firewall configuration prior to upgrading your Satellite Server. For more information, see Ports and Firewalls Requirements in Installing Satellite Server from a Connected Network.
  • Ensure that you do not delete the manifest from the Customer Portal or in the Satellite Web UI because this removes all the entitlements of your content hosts.
  • Back up and remove all Foreman hooks before upgrading. Restore any hooks only after Satellite is known to be working after the upgrade is complete.
  • If you have edited any of the default templates, back up the files either by cloning or exporting them. Cloning is the recommended method because that prevents them being overwritten in future updates or upgrades. To confirm if a template has been edited, you can view its History before you upgrade or view the changes in the audit log after an upgrade. In the web UI, Navigate to Monitor > Audits and search for the template to see a record of changes made. If you use the export method, restore your changes by comparing the exported template and the default template, manually applying your changes.

Capsule Considerations

  • If you use Content Views to control updates to a Capsule Server’s base operating system, or for the Capsule Server repository, you must publish updated versions of those Content Views.
Warning

If you implemented custom certificates, you must retain the content of both the /root/ssl-build directory and the directory in which you created any source files associated with your custom certificates.

Failure to retain these files during an upgrade causes the upgrade to fail. If these files have been deleted, they must be restored from a backup in order for the upgrade to proceed.

Configuring the BASH shell

The BASH shell stores the location of a binary in a hash table. During the upgrade, the location of the satellite-maintain script is changed, but BASH does not register this change, and satellite-maintain fails if it calls the script after the change.

  • Optional: Before the upgrade, users of the BASH shell can set the checkhash option temporarily to ensure satellite-maintain works after the installer completes. Enter a command as follows in your BASH shell: 

    # shopt -s checkhash
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  • After a successful or failed upgrade, in all currently running BASH shells, enter the following command: 

    # hash -d satellite-maintain 2> /dev/null
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Upgrade Scenarios

You cannot upgrade a self-registered Satellite. You must migrate a self-registered Satellite to the Red Hat Content Delivery Network (CDN) and then perform the upgrade. To migrate a self-registered Satellite to the CDN, see Migrating Self-Registered Satellites in the Satellite 6.3 Upgrading and Updating Red Hat Satellite guide.

FIPS mode

You cannot upgrade Satellite Server from a RHEL base system that is not operating in FIPS mode to a RHEL base system that is operating in FIPS mode.

To run Satellite Server on a RHEL base system operating in FIPS mode, you must install Satellite on a freshly provisioned RHEL base system operating in FIPS mode. For more information, see System Requirements in Installing Satellite Server from a Connected Network.

3.1.1. Upgrading a Connected Satellite Server
复制链接

Use this procedure for a Satellite Server connected to the Red Hat Content Delivery Network.

Warning

If you customize configuration files, manually or using a tool such as Hiera, these changes are overwritten when the installation script runs during upgrading or updating. You can use the --noop option with the satellite-installer script 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.

Upgrade Satellite Server

  1. Create a backup.

  2. Optional: If you made manual edits to DNS or DHCP configuration in the /etc/zones.conf or /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf files, back up the configuration files because the installer only supports one domain or subnet, and therefore restoring changes from these backups might be required.

  3. Optional: If you made manual edits to DNS or DHCP configuration files and do not want to overwrite the changes, enter the following command: 

    # satellite-installer --foreman-proxy-dns-managed=false \
--foreman-proxy-dhcp-managed=false
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  4. In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Hosts > Discovered hosts. On the Discovered Hosts page, power off and then delete the discovered hosts. From the Select an Organization menu, select each organization in turn and repeat the process to power off and delete the discovered hosts. Make a note to reboot these hosts when the upgrade is complete.

  5. Clean yum cache: 

    # yum clean all
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  6. Ensure that the rubygem-foreman_maintain package that provides satellite-maintain is installed and up to date: 

    # yum install rubygem-foreman_maintain
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  7. Check the available versions to confirm the version you want is listed: 

    # satellite-maintain upgrade list-versions
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  8. Use the health check option to determine if the system is ready for upgrade. When prompted, enter the hammer admin user credentials to configure satellite-maintain with hammer credentials. These changes are applied to the /etc/foreman-maintain/foreman-maintain-hammer.yml file. 

    # satellite-maintain upgrade check --target-version 6.7
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Review the results and address any highlighted error conditions before performing the upgrade.

  9. Because of the lengthy upgrade time, use a utility such as screen to suspend and reattach a communication session. You can then check the upgrade progress without staying connected to the command shell continuously. For more information about using the screen command, see How do I use the screen command? article in the Red Hat Knowledge Base.

    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/satellite.log file to check if the process completed successfully.

  10. Perform the upgrade: 

    # satellite-maintain upgrade run --target-version 6.7
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  11. Check when the kernel packages were last updated: 

    # rpm -qa --last | grep kernel
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  12. Optional: If a kernel update occurred since the last reboot, stop the satellite-maintain services and reboot the system: 

    # satellite-maintain service stop
# reboot
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  13. If using a BASH shell, after a successful or failed upgrade, enter: 

    # hash -d satellite-maintain service 2> /dev/null
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  14. Optional: If you made manual edits to DNS or DHCP configuration files, check and restore any changes required to the DNS and DHCP configuration files using the backups that you make.

  15. If you make changes in the previous step, restart the satellite-maintain services. 

    # satellite-maintain service restart
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  16. If you have the OpenSCAP plug-in installed, but do not have the default OpenSCAP content available, enter the following command: 

    # foreman-rake foreman_openscap:bulk_upload:default
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

3.1.2. Upgrading a Disconnected Satellite Server
复制链接

Use this procedure for a Satellite Server not connected to the Red Hat Content Delivery Network.

Warning

If you customize configuration files, manually or using a tool such as Hiera, these changes are overwritten when you enter the satellite-maintain command during upgrading or updating. You can use the --noop option with the satellite-installer command to review the changes that are applied during upgrading or updating. 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.

Before You Begin

  • Review and update your firewall configuration before upgrading your Satellite Server. For more information, see Ports and Firewalls Requirements in Installing Satellite Server from a Disconnected Network.
  • Ensure that you do not delete the manifest from the Customer Portal or in the Satellite Web UI because this removes all the entitlements of your content hosts.
  • Back up and remove all Foreman hooks before upgrading. Reinstate hooks only after Satellite is known to be working after the upgrade is complete.
Warning

If you implemented custom certificates, you must retain the content of both the /root/ssl-build directory and the directory in which you created any source files associated with your custom certificates.

Failure to retain these files during an upgrade causes the upgrade to fail. If these files have been deleted, they must be restored from a backup in order for the upgrade to proceed.

Upgrade Disconnected Satellite Server

  1. Create a backup.

    • On a virtual machine, take a snapshot.
    • On a physical machine, create a backup.

  2. A pre-upgrade script is available to detect conflicts and list hosts which have duplicate entries in Satellite Server that can be unregistered and deleted after upgrade. In addition, it will detect hosts which are not assigned to an organization. If a host is listed under Hosts > All hosts without an organization association and if a content host with same name has an organization already associated with it then the content host will automatically be unregistered. This can be avoided by associating such hosts to an organization before upgrading.

    Run the pre-upgrade check script to get a list of hosts that can be deleted after upgrading. If any unassociated hosts are found, associating them to an organization before upgrading is recommended. 

    # foreman-rake katello:upgrade_check
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    If the upgrade check reports a failure due to running tasks, then it is recommended that you wait for the tasks to complete. It is possible to cancel some tasks, but you should follow the guidance in the Red Hat Knowledgebase solution How to manage paused tasks on Red Hat Satellite 6 to understand which tasks are safe to cancel and which are not safe to cancel.

  3. Optional: If you made manual edits to DNS or DHCP configuration in the /etc/zones.conf or /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf files, back up the configuration files because the installer only supports one domain or subnet, and therefore restoring changes from these backups might be required.

  4. Optional: If you made manual edits to DNS or DHCP configuration files and do not want to overwrite the changes, enter the following command: 

    # satellite-installer --foreman-proxy-dns-managed=false \
--foreman-proxy-dhcp-managed=false
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  5. In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Hosts > Discovered hosts. If there are discovered hosts available, turn them off and then delete all entries under the Discovered hosts page. Select all other organizations in turn using the organization setting menu and repeat this action as required. Reboot these hosts after the upgrade has completed.
  6. Make sure all external Capsule Servers are assigned to an organization, otherwise they might get unregistered due to host-unification changes.

  7. Remove old repositories: 

    # rm /etc/yum.repos.d/*
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  8. Stop the satellite-maintain services. 

    # satellite-maintain service stop
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  9. Obtain the latest ISO files by following the Downloading the Binary DVD Images procedure in the Installing Satellite Server from a Disconnected Network guide.
  10. Create directories to serve as a mount point, mount the ISO images, and configure the rhel7-server repository by following the Configuring the Base System with Offline Repositories procedure in the Installing Satellite Server from a Disconnected Network guide. Do not install or update any packages at this stage.

  11. Configure the Satellite 6.7 repository from the ISO file.

    1. Copy the ISO file’s repository data file for the Red Hat Satellite packages: 

      # cp /media/sat6/media.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/sat6.repo

    Important

    If an error occurs when you try to synchronize a repository, refresh the manifest. If the problem persists, raise a support request. Do not delete the manifest from the Customer Portal or in the Satellite web UI; this removes all the entitlements of your content hosts.

  8. If you use Content Views to control updates to the base operating system of Capsule Server, update those Content Views with new repositories, publish, and promote their updated versions. For more information, see Managing Content Views in the Content Management Guide.

3.3. Upgrading Capsule Servers
复制链接

This section describes how to upgrade Capsule Servers from 6.6 to 6.7.

Before You Begin

  • You must upgrade Satellite Server before you can upgrade any Capsule Servers.
  • Ensure the Red Hat Satellite Capsule 6.7 repository is enabled in Satellite Server and synchronized.
  • Ensure that you synchronize the required repositories on Satellite Server. For more information, see Section 3.2, “Synchronizing the New Repositories”.
  • If you use Content Views to control updates to the base operating system of Capsule Server, update those Content Views with new repositories and publish their updated versions. For more information, see Managing Content Views in the Content Management Guide.
  • Ensure the Capsule’s base system is registered to the newly upgraded Satellite Server.
  • Ensure the Capsule has the correct organization and location settings in the newly upgraded Satellite Server.
  • Review and update your firewall configuration prior to upgrading your Capsule Server. For more information, see Ports and Firewalls Requirements in Installing Capsule Server.
Warning

If you implemented custom certificates, you must retain the content of both the /root/ssl-build directory and the directory in which you created any source files associated with your custom certificates.

Failure to retain these files during an upgrade causes the upgrade to fail. If these files have been deleted, they must be restored from a backup in order for the upgrade to proceed.

Upgrading Capsule Servers

  1. Create a backup.

  2. Optional: If you made manual edits to DNS or DHCP configuration in the /etc/zones.conf or /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf files, back up the configuration files because the installer only supports one domain or subnet, and therefore restoring changes from these backups might be required.

  3. Optional: If you made manual edits to DNS or DHCP configuration files and do not want to overwrite the changes, enter the following command: 

    # satellite-installer --foreman-proxy-dns-managed=false \
--foreman-proxy-dhcp-managed=false
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  4. Disable all repositories: 

    # subscription-manager repos --disable "*"
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  5. Enter the following command to enable new repositories:

    The Red Hat Software Collections repository provides a later version of Ruby required by some Red Hat Satellite features, including the Remote Execution feature. The Satellite Tools 6.7 repository provides katello-host-tools and katello-agent which provide communication services for managing Errata. 

    # subscription-manager repos \
--enable rhel-7-server-rpms \
--enable rhel-7-server-satellite-capsule-6.7-rpms \
--enable rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms \
--enable rhel-7-server-satellite-tools-6.7-rpms \
--enable rhel-7-server-satellite-maintenance-6-rpms \
--enable rhel-7-server-ansible-2.8-rpms
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  6. In the Satellite web UI, go to Hosts > Discovered hosts. If there are discovered hosts available, power off the hosts and then delete all entries under the Discovered hosts page. Select all other organizations in turn using the organization setting menu and repeat this action as required. Reboot these hosts after the upgrade has completed.

  7. Clear the repository cache. 

    # yum clean all
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  8. Stop the satellite-maintain services. 

    # satellite-maintain service stop
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  9. Until BZ#1649764 is resolved, update the gofer package: 

    # yum update gofer
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  10. Restart goferd. 

    # systemctl restart goferd
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  11. Update all packages. 

    # yum update
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  12. If you plan to use Capsule Server as a proxy for discovered hosts, install the Discovery plug-in. 

    # yum install rubygem-smart_proxy_discovery.noarch
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  13. On the Capsule Server, verify that the foreman_url setting is correct. 

    # grep foreman_url /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.yml
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    The fully qualified domain name of the Satellite Server should display.

  14. Perform the upgrade by running the installer script with the --upgrade option: 

    # satellite-installer --scenario capsule --upgrade
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Warning

    If you run the command from a directory containing a config subdirectory, you will encounter the following error: 

    ERROR: Scenario (config/capsule.yaml) was not found, can not continue.
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    In such a case, change directory, for example to the root user’s home directory, and run the command again.

  15. Check when the kernel packages were last updated: 

    # rpm -qa --last | grep kernel
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  16. Optional: If a kernel update occurred since the last reboot, stop the satellite-maintain services and reboot the system: 

    # satellite-maintain service stop
# reboot
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  17. Optional: If you made manual edits to DNS or DHCP configuration files, check and restore any changes required to the DNS and DHCP configuration files using the backups made earlier.
  18. If you use custom repositories, ensure that you enable these custom repositories after the upgrade completes.
  19. Upgrade the foreman-discovery package on Satellite Server and turn on the hosts that were shut down prior to the upgrade.

3.4. Upgrading Satellite Clients
复制链接

The Satellite Tools 6.7 repository provides katello-agent and katello-host-tools, which provide communication services for managing Errata.

Note that the Katello agent is deprecated and will be removed in a future Satellite version. Migrate your workloads to use the remote execution feature to update clients remotely. For more information, see Host Management Without Goferd and Katello Agent in the Managing Hosts Guide.

Currently, the Satellite 6.6 version of katello-agent and other client libraries in the Satellite Tools 6.7 repository are not formally tested or supported against Satellite 6.7.

For deployments using katello-agent and goferd, update all clients to the new version of katello-agent. For deployments not using katello-agent and goferd, update all clients to the new version of katello-host-tools. Complete this action as soon as possible so that your clients are fully compatible with Satellite Server.

Prerequisites

  • You must have upgraded Satellite Server.
  • You must have enabled the new Satellite Tools 6.7 repositories on the Satellite.
  • You must have synchronized the new repositories in the Satellite.
  • If you have not previously installed katello-agent on your clients and you want to install, use the manual method. For more information, see Upgrade Satellite Clients Manually.
Warning

If you implemented custom certificates, you must retain the content of both the /root/ssl-build directory and the directory in which you created any source files associated with your custom certificates.

Failure to retain these files during an upgrade causes the upgrade to fail. If these files have been deleted, they must be restored from a backup in order for the upgrade to proceed.

Upgrade Satellite Clients Using the Bulk Repository Set UI:

  1. In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Hosts > Content Hosts and select the Content Hosts that you want to upgrade.
  2. From the Select Action list, select Manage Repository Sets.
  3. From the Repository Sets Management list, select the Red Hat Satellite Tools 6.6 check box.
  4. From the Select Action list, select Override to Disabled, and click Done.
  5. When the process completes, on the same set of hosts from the previous steps, from the Select Action list Manage Repository Sets.
  6. From the Repository Sets Management list, select the Red Hat Satellite Tools 6.7 check box.
  7. From the Select Action list, select Override to Enabled, and click Done.
  8. When the process completes, on the same set of hosts from the previous steps, from the Select Action list, select Manage Packages.

  9. In the Package search field, enter one of the following options depending on your configuration:

    • If your deployment uses katello-agent and goferd, enter katello-agent.
    • If your deployment does not use katello-agent and goferd, enter katello-host-tools.
  10. Until BZ#1649764 is resolved, from the Update list, you must select via remote execution. This is required because if you update the package using the Katello agent, the package update disrupts the communication between the client and Satellite or Capsule Server, which causes the update to fail. For more information, see Running Jobs on Hosts in the Managing Hosts guide.

Upgrade Satellite Clients Manually

  1. Log into the client system.

  2. Disable the repositories for the previous version of Satellite. 

    # subscription-manager repos \
