Figure 4-8. RHN Registration

The
RHN Registration
page enables you to register the Satellite with Red Hat Net-
work, allowing it to get updates and software channel package data directly. To reg-
ister the Satellite, ensure its system profile name is correct (usually the hostname)
and complete the
RHN Username
and
RHN Password
fields with the account in-
formation provided by your sales representative or established previously by you.
This account must be entitled for RHN Satellite Server.
To skip this step, such as for Satellites that will operate in disconnected mode, click
either the
continue
link or button. If you do not register the Satellite, the
RHN Satel-
lite Synchronization Tool
cannot be used to populate software channels. Contact
your Red Hat representative to obtain the packages and updates manually. When
finished, click
Continue
. The
RHN Satellite Entitlement Certificate
page appears.
