I was finally able to get the time to complete this process. Your instructions were great, and worked perfectly. I was able to get upgraded to the latest version, with the May release as an interim - as you suggested. Thanks!

Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Warning: You are about to do a distribution upgrade with all enabled repositories. Make sure these repositories are compatible before you continue. See 'man zypper' for more information about this command. Computing distribution upgrade... Nothing to do.

I have a VM snapshot that I can revert. What I can't figure out how to do is to upgrade only to 2020.07, instead of the current version, as required. What would be the process to get to that intermediate version? I could revert the snapshot, upgrade to 2020.07, then to the current version, if I knew the steps to upgrade to that intermediate version. Thanks! Allen B.

There is a way, but unsupported. So I will do my best, but can tell you: "yeah, this will work for sure!" :-) We have Snapshots for the different versions, they are only used for reproducing migration bugs. The last one for the server on top of Leap 15.2 is at: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Snapsho... So that means you can use a special procedure to migat to 2021.05 first: MIGRATING TO 2021.05 =================== # zypper ar https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Snapsho... uyuni-2021.05 # zypper in susemanager At this point you will have the migration script that was used to migrate from Uyuni on top Leap 15.1 to Uyuni on top of Leap 15.2 DO NOT RUN IT YET!!!!!! Edit the migration script, with vim or other editor: # vim /usr/lib/susemanager/bin/server-migrator.sh Change the line: zypper ar -n "Uyuni Server Stable" https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Stable/... uyuni-server-stable To: zypper ar -n "Uyuni Server 2021.05" https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Snapsho... uyuni-2021.05 Run the script: # /usr/lib/susemanager/bin/server-migrator.sh This should take your system to openSUSE Leap 15.2 and Uyuni 2021.05, in terms of packaging. Run /usr/lib/susemanager/bin/pg-migrate-10-to-12.sh as instructed. DO NOT REBOOT YET. Check the current release notes for 2021.06 (yes), and run any manual steps documented between 2020.09 and 2021.05 (both included). Most of them could probably be skipped since they are about changing the vendor to openSUSE (and that should be done by server-migrator) but run them anyway, just in case. After all manual steps are executed, you can reboot. Check that the server is able to start, that the WebUI is loading, and then run some smoke tests, just in case (for example run a salt remote command against a couple of minions). If everything is working at this point, then you can migrate to 2021.06 MIGRATING TO 2021.06 =================== Add the Stable repository again: # zypper ar -n "Uyuni Server Stable" https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Stable/... uyuni-server-stable And run the regular procedure for the migration from 2021.05 to 2021.06 So as you can see, this is doing an upgrade in two steps: 2020.07 to 2021.05 first (Leap 15.3 to Leap 15.2) 2021.05 to 2021.06 then (Leap 15.2 to Leap 15.3) I never tried this, but should work :-)

I have three Uyuni servers that I've updated to the latest version. The first two went well. The third fails on the startup of Tomcat. This one was from an older revision. The other two were running an Uyuni version at Leap 15.2, but the one with the problem was old enough to be on 15.1.

Not supported. That's why the release notes say:

"You need at least Uyuni 2020.07 already installed to perform the upgrade."

As that's the first version on top of openSUSE Leap 15.1

Let's see if we can help, but no promises :-)

...

I did "zypper up susemanager" Ran server-migrator.sh Then ran pg-migrate-10-to-13.sh All completed with no errors.

On restart, there is an issue with Tomcat. This appears in the most recent catalina log:

Can you provide the output of:

I wonder if some of the Java dependencies didn't change to come from Leap.
