Red Hat® Satellite is a system management solution that allows you to deploy, configure, and maintain your systems across physical, virtual, and cloud environments. Satellite provides provisioning, remote management, and monitoring of multiple Red Hat Enterprise Linux® deployments with a single, centralized tool. A top priority for organizations is to upgrade Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 machines to 8 and 9.
Leapp is the in-place upgrade tool that allows you to upgrade to the next major version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux while keeping your existing configurations and without having to do a full reinstallation. Stability and the ability to upgrade with minimal downtime are 2 important features of production environments, and using the Leapp upgrade utility on Red Hat Satellite 6 can provide both.
Join this webinar to explore a pivotal feature of Satellite server—streamlining system upgrades. Demonstrating enhanced efficiency, the feature allows smooth upgrades directly from the Satellite WebUI, eliminating the need for individual host interactions. Discover how this innovation optimizes workflow, saving time and resources while ensuring a smoother and more centralized upgrade experience for system administrators.
In this webinar, we’ll discuss:
- Satellite 6 and the Leapp utility
- Remote execution in Satellite 6
- How to prepare for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 upgrade
- Ways to review the pre-upgrade report
- How to perform the upgrade from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 to 8
- How to verify the post-upgrade state of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
