Synopsis: Low: Red Hat Satellite Server 5 - 90 day End Of Life Notice
Advisory ID: RHSA-2018:3456-01
Product: Red Hat Satellite
Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2018:3456
Issue date: 2018-11-02
=====================================================================
1. Summary:
This is the 90 day notification of the End Of Life (EOL) plans for the
following versions of Red Hat Satellite 5:
* Red Hat Satellite 5.6
* Red Hat Satellite 5.7
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Satellite 5.6 (RHEL v.6) - noarch
Red Hat Satellite 5.7 (RHEL v.6) - noarch
3. Description:
The RHN service for Satellite 5.7, 5.6, and earlier versions of Satellite 5
will exit the existing Limited Maintenance Release phase and be permanently
shut down on January 31, 2019.
After this date, for the affected Satellite 5 versions:
* No content will be available from RHN. Both system level updates and
channel synchronization will be stopped as a result;
* No Satellite certificates for these versions will be generated or
provided for these EOL product versions;
* As per the life-cycle support policy for Red Hat Satellite, Red Hat will
discontinue technical support services as well as software maintenance
services;
* New bug fixes, security updates, and product enhancements will no longer
be provided.
Details of the Satellite support policy can be found at:
https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/satellite/
Notes:
1) Red Hat will continue to support Red Hat Satellite and Proxy version
5.8.
2) Red Hat Satellite 5.6 and Red Hat Satellite 5.7 will be EOL on January
31, 2019. They will have to be upgraded.
How to proceed:
* Plan to upgrade to a newer version prior to January 31, 2019. You are
strongly encouraged to upgrade to Red Hat Satellite 5.8 immediately, which
will be supported through May 31, 2020. You are also encouraged to plan a
longer-term transition to Satellite 6, but to first ensure all Satellite
and Proxy versions 5.7 and earlier have been upgraded prior to January 31,
2019.
* If you have a Technical Account Manager, consider contacting that person
immediately to assist with your upgrade plans. Otherwise, contact Red Hat
support for assistance at https://www.redhat.com/en/services/support
* Alternatively, Red Hat Consulting can be engaged to assist with a smooth
upgrade, or migration to Satellite 6, see

4. Solution:
The documentation of the Satellite 5 upgrade process is available in the
Red Hat Satellite 5.8 Installation Guide, linked to in the References
section.
For detailed instructions on upgrading Red Hat Satellite, see the
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/satellite-upgrade/README file within the rhn-upgrade
package. Before proceeding, it is important to read the complete details,
contained within the most current rhn-upgrade package README file.
Before the upgrade, ensure that known good backups are available,
especially of the database.
