  • Migrating RHEL 5 nodes to Satellite 6.4

    Posted on

    So I will start with yes I know RHEL 5 is EOL but I have a few machines that I have been tasked to migrate to our Satellite node.
    I am running the following
    ./bootstrap.py -l -s o 'Org' -L '108th' -g 'RHEL5_QA' -a 'RHEL5_QA' --skip=migration --force
    Activation Key has the repo assigned that has subscription manager in it.
    I have done the --skip with and without the =
    I have moved all the /etc/yum.repos.d files to temp folder
    I am sure it is something simple that needs to be removed.
    I am getting the following output.
