Minimize Satellite downtime on upgrade - Compatibility between Satellite and previous Capsules
Issue
During the upgrade phase the Satellite server and the Capsules must be upgraded together. When Satellite and Capsules are managed by several teams it requires a synchronization of all these teams to perform the upgrade and minimize the downtime.
During a Satellite upgrade, once the Satellite is up-to-date; the Capsules are not supported to work with the up-to-date Satellite and cannot continue to deliver subscription consumption.
The goal is to ensure that at least :
- subscription consumption (attach new nodes)
- repository content consumption
Environment
- Red Hat Satellite 6.x
- Red Hat Satellite Capsules
Subscriber exclusive content
A Red Hat subscription provides unlimited access to our knowledgebase, tools, and much more.
