RHEA-2017:0369 - Update Satellite 5 to support activation of RHSM-registered system

Synopsis

Update Satellite 5 to support activation of RHSM-registered system

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory None

Topic

Updated spacewalk-backend packages that add support for activation of RHSM-registered systems are now available for Red Hat Satellite 5.6 and Red Hat Satellite 5.7.

Description

Red Hat Satellite is a systems management tool for Linux-based infrastructure. It allows for provisioning, remote management, and monitoring of multiple Linux deployments with a single centralized tool.

This update adds support for activation of RHSM-registered systems.

As part of the retirement of Red Hat Network, systems will need to be migrated from Red Hat Network (RHN) to Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM). Special care needs to be taken with Satellite 5.6 & 5.7 systems to ensure that the systems will work properly.

  • rhn-satellite-activate is enhanced to call new activation API accepting RHSM UUID. This activation API provides a systemid file enabling satellite-sync functionality. (BZ#1422493, BZ#1422498)

Users of Red Hat Satellite are advised to upgrade to these updated packages.

Solution

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 Satellite by running the following command as root:

rhn-satellite stop

  • Upgrade the errata packages. Details on how to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258

  • Restart Red Hat Satellite by running the following as root:

rhn-satellite start

  • Migrate Red Hat Satellite system to RHSM:
