Red Hat Satellite 6.2 to 6.3 upgrade issue

All,

I had and still have some issues while updating RH Satellite from 6.2.14 to RH Satellite 6.3.0

• at first there where issue with NULL records in the Candlepin database.
  these got resolved by a Red Hat support case.
  

  Copy Copied!

  Cause:

  incompletely removed products (I guess EPEL)

• DCHCP syntax issues:
  Could be resolved by adding DCHP to a whitelist.
  

  Copy Copied!

  Cause

  unknown

*APIPIE cache outdated:
Update: Issue resolved, after cleaning up the candlepin

*Puppetserver update:
--This fails, if you have /tmp mounted with the noexec option (not documented)

Be aware: some older puppet modules with version 3 specific syntax will cause issues. This is documented in the Red Hat Satellite 6,3 manual.

Keep you posted, about my upgrade path, must find some new Puppet modules for /etc/issue, /etc/motd and ntp configurations

Regards,

Jan Gerrit Kootstra

P.S. New issue: RHEL 7.5 update fails due to rpm dependency conflict of krb5-libs.
