Problem running satellite-schema-upgrade

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat Network Satellite 5.4.1

Issue

  • When I run spacewalk-schema-upgrade,I get:

    root@sat:(/mnt)#spacewalk-schema-upgrade
Failed to retrieve our schema package name and version.
root@sat:(/mnt)#

Resolution

Run:

package-cleanup --cleandupes

to clean up the duplicate packages and then:

rpm -q satellite-schema
rpm -q spacewalk-schema

should return singular counts of the package. After that, you should be good to run:

satellite-schema-upgrade

Root Cause

  • Two versions of the schema package were installed.

Diagnostic Steps

  • What is the output of:

    service oracle status 
rpm -q satellite-schema
rpm -q spacewalk-schema

  • In our case, we got:

    root@sat:(/root)#service oracle status
Oracle Net Listener (pid 29457) is running...
Oracle DB instance rhnsat (pid 29469) is running...
