Satellite 5.7 bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated spacewalk-backend, spacewalk-java, spacewalk-web, and satellite-schema
packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat Satellite 5.7.

Description

Red Hat Satellite is a systems management tool for Linux-based infrastructures.
It allows for provisioning, remote management and monitoring of multiple Linux
deployments with a single, centralized tool.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Satellite has been updated to fix a Red Hat Proxy 5.7 bug related to operating
  multiple Proxies behind a load-balancer. (BZ#1206708)
  
• Previously, a race condition occasionally occurred in Satellite, which caused
  servers with the Automatic Errata Updates feature enabled not to have their
  update actions scheduled. The race condition has been fixed to ensure that
  updates are scheduled as expected. (BZ#1205306)
  
• Satellite did not accept the user notification email preferences and always
  sent email if the repo-sync procedure failed. This bug has been fixed and
  Satellite now sends notifications according to the user preferences.
  (BZ#1128989)
  
• Previously, subscribing multiple systems to a subscription channel from the
  "Target Systems" tab was very slow and could lead to connection timeouts. This
  update schedules the recalculation of which errata are applicable to the
  affected servers to happen asynchronously after subscription, which greatly
  speeds up the subscription process. (BZ#1175939)
  
• When applying a heterogeneous set of errata to a heterogeneous set of systems,
  for example Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 errata to Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  5 and 6 systems, actions were scheduled for all errata on every system, even
  when the base operating system did not match. This update ensures that Satellite
  only schedules actions for errata that apply to a given system. (BZ#1188954)
  
• In case Satellite synchronized incorrect data from the Red Hat Network Hosted,
  the subsequent synchronizations of that channel failed with the following
  message:
  

duplicate key value violates unique constraint "rhn_package_file_pid_cid_uq"

Satellite now correctly handles incorrect data to ensure successful
synchronization or the channels. (BZ#989202)

• The web UI has been modified to function correctly in Internet Explorer
  compatibility mode. (BZ#1196329)
  
• Previously, using the System Set Manager to apply many errata to a large
  number of systems took a very long time. This update provides code changes that
  speed up the process. (BZ#1200162)
  
• This update enables Satellite to respond properly to If-Modified-Since
  requests from the Proxy server. Proxy can now be configured to download updated
  yum repodata from Satellite only when it is necessary, which reduces the
  required bandwidth between Proxy and Satellite. This feature requires manual
  configuration, see https://access.redhat.com/articles/1396643 for instructions.
  (BZ#1203406)
  
• The spacewalk-debug tool did not include logs from the new Postgresql 9.2
  location. This update ensures that spacewalk-debug includes the Postgresql logs
  from all possible locations. (BZ#1197765)
  

Users of Red Hat Satellite are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix these bugs.

Solution

Application of this errata involves updating the database schema.

For general instructions on the database schema upgrade, consult the following
document first: https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/273633

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied. To apply this erratum, take the following
steps:

• Shut down Red Hat Satellite by running the following command as root:
  

rhn-satellite stop

• Backup the database. For embedded or managed database variants, please consult
  Red Hat Satellite 5.6 documentation. For an external database, consult your
  database administrator.
  
• Upgrade the errata packages available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to
  use Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
  https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
  
• Update the database schema using the spacewalk-schema-upgrade command. To do
  so, run as root:
  

spacewalk-schema-upgrade

This process will update your database schema to the latest version. The
spacewalk-schema-upgrade command will inform you about the results of the
upgrade and exact locations of schema upgrade log files.

• Restart Red Hat Satellite by running the following as root:
  

rhn-satellite start

Affected Products

• Red Hat Satellite 5.7 x86_64
• Red Hat Satellite 5.7 s390x
• Red Hat Satellite 5 Managed DB 5.7 x86_64
• Red Hat Satellite 5 Managed DB 5.7 s390x

Fixes

• BZ - 1196329 - Login fails for IE11/Server2008, unless compatibility-mode ON - rest of UI fails unless CM OFF
