This document (000021625) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

SUSE Manager 5.0.2

Situation

A SUSE Manager Server, currently running version 5.0.1, is planned for an upgrade to version 5.0.2. However, executing the command "mgradm upgrade podman" results in the re-installation of version 5.0.1, preventing the desired upgrade.

Resolution

To upgrade to the new SUSE Manager 5.0.2 version, "--tag 5.0.2" should be used as a parameter for the “ mgradm upgrade podman “ command.

Note: Problem is fixed with: mgradm-0.1.27-150500.3.15.2 and mgrpxy-0.1.27-150500.3.15.2.x86_64

sumasrv5:~ # mgradm upgrade podman -h |grep "\--tag"
      --tag string     Tag Image (default "5.0.2")

Cause

The “mgradm upgrade podman” --tag parameter still pointing to 5.0.1

Additional Information
