[Spacewalk-list] Updating Spacewalk Server from RHEL5 to RHEL6

[Jens Neu]

Hi Robert,

Upgrades from RHEL5 to 6 are not supported by RedHat, so if you care about 
support (what I would suspect since you're paying for it) this is not an 
option for you.
I would go for: install RHEL6 in parallel, take Spacewalk offline, install 
Spacewalk on RHEL6, restore Database to replacement Spacewalk on RHEL6, 
sync /var/satellite and phase out the RHEL5 server. Before or afterwards, 
upgrade Spacewalk from 1.6 to 1.7 according to 
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToUpgrade

regards Jens
