Updated Satellite 6.2 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 the necessity 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:

• The katello backup script no longer stops services unnecessarily and does not reset directory permissions. (BZ#1388145, BZ#1399244)
• Several issues with the bootstrap script have been addressed. (BZ#1361339, BZ#1422236, BZ#1422756, BZ#1425606)
• Performance improvements have been made to many parts of the application. (BZ#1428307, BZ#1388296, BZ#1419667, BZ#1422304, BZ#1427618, BZ#1328984, BZ#1402423)
• Satellite can now pull down the correct Certificate Authority when provisioning against RHEV 4.0. (BZ#1370169)
• Users will now be able to configure content synchronization to force a resynchronization of content. (BZ#1427618)
• Multiple bugs with Host navigation were addressed. (BZ#1408438, BZ#1408555, BZ#1432184)
• The installer will no longer delete virtual machines during the upgrade process. (BZ#1418892)
• Session IDs have been introduced to the logs, and other logging improvements were also made. (BZ#1408420, BZ#1429642, BZ#1367162)
• Large files can now be uploaded into Satellite repositories. (BZ#1404345)
• Satellite has improved how it cleans up content during synchronization and promoting. (BZ#1307207, BZ#1409856, BZ#1417689)
• Remote Execution has been enhanced to support alternative ports per host. (BZ#1426709)
• A few improvements were made to Smart Variables. (BZ#1382356, BZ#1353968)
• The upgrade process has been improved based on customer feedback. (BZ#1389802, BZ#1419721, BZ#1390931)
• Customers can now delete cloned roles. (BZ#1353788, BZ#1378544)
• In Satellite 6.2.7, the "foreman-rake katello:reindex" script was renamed to "katello:reimport". This update adds a depreciation warning that "foreman-rake katello:reindex" is now "katello:reimport", and that "katello:reindex" will be removed in Satellite 6.3.

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