DB2 Pacemaker upgrade break cluster when Red Hat Satellite is not accessible

Hello, My idea is to add some check if Red Hat satellite is visible into db2installPCMK because if it's not, update will break cluster and DB2 will be unusable until visibility is fixed and db2installPCMK is executed again. As workaround you shoul...

Platform switch Windows-Linux using OFFLINE database backup image
