Satellite 6.2 Beta - What's New
Lots of bug fixes based on your feedback
The first beta had very good adoption. Thank you for your time. Based on your feedback we have resolved many bugs. Specifically, you should see:
- UI and API performance improvements
- Interactive-shell performance improvements (Hammer)
- Improved disconnected workflow
- Improved database performance for certain content management scenarios -- i.e., EL7 installs come with newer, faster Mongo
Scenario based installations
The installation process has been updated to provided branded scenario based installations. For example, users will know they are using the satellite installer to configure a capsule. Please see the updated installation and quick start docs at the Satellite Documentation Page
Improved backup and restore scripts
We have gotten requests for multiple types of backup scenarios for taking backups of the Satellite server. The new backup and restore scripts add new options to support these various scenarios.
Upgrades from Beta 1 to Beta 2
Upgrades from Beta 1 to Beta 2 are NOT supported. A fresh installation is required.

I am working a customer project. We are anxiously awaiting the 6.2 release. It offers the capability we need. Is there any estimate on the release date. Any update?
There is a typo in the heading "Now Available".
I have checked and the latest available in the Beta download channel is the following:
I follow the link provided above and all I am getting is the same ISO as above.
Thanks on the typo. For the isos, were you looking for new updated isos?
Bryan,
This is in the product download section. I have also had the customer re-apply for beta access specifically for 6.2 Beta 2 and they received an email saying the subscription was now active and still shows the ISO from June on the downloads page.
Not sure if the fact we are in APAC (mirrors?) has anything to do with it.
