In the
<Catalog>
section, edit the following configuration element:
NOTE: While mirroring YOU patch bundles from a remote server in one management zone to a
primary local server in another zone, packages for the target oes-9-i586 are added to the patch
bundle on the local ZENworks Linux Management server, although the patch bundles contain
packages only for target sles-9-i586.
While mirroring the YaST patches for SLES 9 platforms from the YOU repository and OES 1
platforms from the RCE repository, you must mirror the patch bundles for 32-bit target and 64-bit
target to separate folders on the ZENworks Linux Management server. This is because the patches
for 32-bit and 64-bit platforms are hosted in two different channels in the repository. The mirroring
process skips the YOU patch bundle download or update if a bundle with the same name already
exists in the folder path on the server.
25.7 Mirroring Red Hat Updates from the NU
Repository by Using a YUM Subscription
You can mirror Red Hat updates from the NU repository by using YUM subscriptions and updating
the RHEL devices. These updates are available from the RES catalogs for 32-bit and 64-bit target
platforms. You can list the RES catalogs such as RES3, RES4, and RES5 by using an NU
subscription. However, to mirror the Update bundle for a specific RES catalog, you must configure a
YUM subscription. You cannot use an NU subscription because of the limitation of the distro target
information in the RES catalog metadata in the NU repository.
To use a YUM subscription to mirror the RES catalogs from the NU repository:
1 Run the following command to verify if there are any RES or Red Hat catalogs on the remote
NU server:
zlmmirror slc -c NU_mirror_configuration_file -v
This lists the catalogs on the remote NU server.
