RHBA-2015:1688 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated Satellite 6.1 packages that fix several bugs are now available.

Description

Red Hat Satellite is a system management solution that allows organizations
to configure and maintain their systems without needing to provide public
Internet access to their servers or other client systems. It performs
provisioning and configuration management of predefined standard operating
environments.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• When some customers attempted to upgrade to Satellite 6.1.1 from

version 6.0.8 or version 6.0, the upgrade failed with the following
error message:

error: wrong number of arguments (7 for 1) (ArgumentError)

This error was caused by inconsistent data between the Satellite database
and the pulp database. This update modifies the installer and upgrade code
so that these inconsistencies are handled correctly. (BZ#1213000)

• When customers using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 attempted to upgrade to

Satellite 6.1.1 from version 6.0.Z, they encountered the following warning
when the system attempted to stop the Tomcat process:

Stopping tomcat6: waiting for processes 2787 to exit
killing 2787 which did not stop after 60 seconds [WARNING]

The condition that caused this warning to appear has been corrected.
(BZ#1253432)

• Previously, the 'Customer Portal Username/Password' fields under

Access Insights > Manage were treated as mandatory. These fields do not
need to be mandatory. This update makes these fields optional. (BZ#1254252)

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

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
