Bad experience with current RHEL 6 incremental set, Disconnected Satellite, for incremental channel set -> RHEL 6 (x86_64) + EUS + AUS + RHN Proxy/Tools + Supplementary (Incremental 2015-10-10:2016-05-11)

Latest response

We have noted a severe issue several environments we have with incremental channel RHEL 6 (x86_64) + EUS + AUS + RHN Proxy/Tools + Supplementary (Incremental 2015-10-10:2016-05-11) , which interestingly was issued the same day the new RHEL 6 base channels were concurrently were updated. All the systems we have applied this incremental channel (on numerous satellite servers) are now rendered unbootable and we are diagnosing them. I'd recommend anyone with a disconnected satellite server use caution with patching and use a small subset of systems before wide dispersal. Hopefully it is just us, and not widespread.

The Base channel set of RHEL 6 (x86_64) + EUS + AUS + RHN Proxy/Tools + Supplementary (Base 2016-05-11) is of course separate/apart from the above, we plan on testing with a small subset of servers.
