Thanks for all the replies, We are using Red Hat Satellite Server to handle Yum updates but I am still getting a grasp on how it works. After talking to one of our admins, I was told that it should not do a major version upgrade without being explicitly told to. The servers are virtual so I will clone them off before the next patch cycles. Is there an official go-live date for IPA3 in RHEL?

Or if he is running it virtulized you could clone the vm easily and test it on a virtual network not connected to the rest. But if you read Rashard's post correctly, he is afraid of yum automatically updating freeIPA and breaking it. @ Rashard You should not be letting yum update automatically but use Katello, Red Hat Network Satellite or Spacewalk to install updates. Still I would like to know the same. Some other projects use version dependant repo's so you can choose to switch by changing repo, others put the version number in the package name. -- Kind Regards, Jorick Astrego Netbulae B.V.
