Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Low: RHN Satellite Server 4 - End Of Life
Advisory ID: RHSA-2011:0001-01
Product: Red Hat Network Satellite Server
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0001.html
Issue date: 2011-01-03
=====================================================================
1. Summary:
This is the End Of Life notification for RHN Satellite Server 4.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Network Satellite Server v 4.2 (RHEL v.3 AS) - noarch
Red Hat Network Satellite Server v 4.2 (RHEL v.4 AS) - noarch
3. Description:
On December 31st, 2010, per the life-cycle support policy, the version 4
series of Satellite and Proxy products exited Production Phase 2 marking
the end of their support by Red Hat. Please reference the support policy
here:
https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/satellite/
Though we are committed to the December 31st date for beginning the
process of decommissioning Satellite and Proxy 4.x support, we recognize
that our customers have woven these products very deeply into their
processes and may need some time to migrate.
For migration purposes, please note the following dates:
- - - December 31st, 2010 - Satellite and Proxy 4.x ceased to be supported.
Official support ended. Only Severity 1 issues and migration assistance
will be addressed. Satellite and Proxy will continue to operate, but all
customers are encouraged to migrate in a timely manner.
- - - April 30th, 2011 - Satellite and Proxy 4.x active status will be
terminated. Satellite and Proxy version 4.x will enter an inactive
state. Satellite and Proxy communication to RHN Hosted will cease to
function (for example, the satellite-sync command will no longer work).
The Satellite Upgrade process starting point is outlined here:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5.4/html/Instal
lation_Guide/s1-upgrades.html
How to proceed:
- - - All Satellite and Proxy 4.x users must plan to migrate to a newer version
prior to April 30th, 2011.
- - - If you have a Technical Account Manager, contact that person immediately
to discuss migration plans.
- - - Otherwise, contact support for assistance:
https://www.redhat.com/apps/support/
- - - Alternatively, Red Hat Consulting can be engaged to assist with a smooth
migration: http://www.redhat.com/consulting/

Proxy 4.x prior to April 30th, 2011.
