Problem: Clarify how to update a Foreman server
Expected outcome: Clear instructions
Foreman and Proxy versions: 3.1
Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
Distribution and version: Centos 7
I’m looking for a way to keep my Foreman servers up to date. I am use to RH Satellite which followed a method using the satellite-maintain upgrade method and not to use yum to do the update.
I do see that this is the method used for Foreman, from the docs:
https://docs.theforeman.org/3.3/Upgrading_and_Updating/index-foreman-el.html#updating_satellite_server_to_next_minor_version
However, I am confused on why the docs would use subscription manager and a RH Satellite repo:
subscription-manager repos --enable \
{RepoRHEL7ServerSatelliteMaintenanceProductVersion}
Does anyone have any clarification on this and which method I am to use to update my servers on a monthly basis? Should I just use yum?
Thank you!
