• We want to upgrade the existing Red Hat Satellite server to 6.12 but the required version is not available.

• The exact same problem is observed for any Red Hat Capsule 6.11 server as well when attempting to upgrade them.

Resolution

• Red Hat Engineering team is already aware of this issue and is currently tracking the same in This content is not included.Bugzilla # 2143451.

Workaround

1. Enable the required repositories using the following command: (replace 6.x with right version)

   • For Satellite

   # subscription-manager repos --enable satellite-6.x-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
   # dnf module enable satellite
   

   • For Capsule

   # subscription-manager repos --enable satellite-capsule-6.x-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
   # dnf module enable satellite-capsule 
   

2. Run the following command to list the available target versions to upgrade to.

   # satellite-maintain upgrade list-versions
   

3. Re-run the above command if only the satellite-maintain related packages were updated in the previous attempt.

Root Cause

• The issue occurs due to the missing module metadata in the satellite-maintenance-6.12-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms repository that prevents dnf from seeing a newer version of rubygem-foreman_maintain is available.

Diagnostic Steps

• Make sure that satellite-6.12-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms and satellite-maintenance-6.12-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms repositories are enabled on the Red Hat Satellite server.
