  • Is there risk in doing a Satellite DB restore on a separate host?

    Posted on

    I am testing the upgrade procedure for going from 5.5 to 5.6 (mostly just so I have seen the activity).

    I have decided to restore a database backup from my production Satellite as part of the process.
    1. Install RHEL 5.x and update to current (using a different IP and hostname)
    2. Install Satellite 5.5 and update to current 5.5 release (schema and spacewalk packages)
    3. Restore Database from our Production Satellite
    4. validate no more updates apply
    5. upgrade to Satellite 5.6

    We do not use the PUSH capability (osad).

    Does anyone know of any way that this would cause any issues? (i.e. client or server based)
