Red Hat Satellite 6.2 now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 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.
It performs provisioning and configuration management of predefined
standard operating environments.

This update provides Satellite 6.2 packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 Satellite server. For the full list of new features provided by Satellite 6.2 see the Release Notes linked to in the references section. Please see the Satellite 6 Installation Guide for detailed instructions on how to install or upgrade from prior versions of Satellite 6.

All users who require Satellite version 6.2 are advised to install these new packages.

Changes to the Capsule component:

• Kerberos issues with IPA Realm integration would cause provisioning to fail in Satellite 6.1. This has been resolved in Satellite 6.2, and provisioning will work with this setup. (BZ#1305402)

Changes to the Compute Resources component:

• Satellite 6.2 features performance fixes, including provisioning to clusters if they are contained in a nested folder. (BZ#1314090)

Changes to the Content Management component:

• This release introduces the ability to provision Red Hat Atomic Host in addition to standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This includes syncing down Atomic Content, promoting that content through a lifecycle environment, and provisioning Atomic Hosts. (BZ#1315043)
• With this release, users of Red Hat Satellite 6.2 can sync down repositories protected by basic authentication by providing the username and password in the repository string. (BZ#1174948)
• Elastic Search has been removed from Red Hat Satellite. It has been replaced by the standard searching provided by the database. (BZ#1259374)
• With this release, the content dashboard in Red Hat Satellite 6.1 has now been combined into the main dashboard, providing a single point of summary information for the user. (BZ#1146874)

Changes to the Content Views component:

• Satellite 6.2 provides improvements to Bulk Actions and Host Collections. Changing the content view in the web UI now works as intended. (BZ#1315280)
• With this release, content view versions in Red Hat Satellite 6.2 have been improved to show the version of the puppet module that is included. (BZ#1241975)

Changes to the Disconnected component:

• This release introduces the ability to export content from one Satellite Server and import it into another server. The content can come from the Library, or can be from a content view. This feature can be used to support populating an air-gapped server with content from another server. (BZ#1127456)

Changes to the Pulp component:

• Satellite 6.2 provides substantial improvements to content synchronization. These improvements include improved messages in cases where content synchronization is considered successful, even though one or more packages failed to download. (BZ#1292953)

Changes to the Remote Execution component:

• This release adds a Remote Execution feature that allows users to execute commands against machines under inventory. The commands can be stored as jobs, and can be scheduled to run in the future or on a recurring basis. (BZ#1131296)

Changes to the Subscription Management component:

• With this release, the virt-who agent can now be installed on the same machine where the main Satellite Server is hosted. (BZ#1209467)

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied and that the Satellite is updated to the most recent 6.1.x release.
