3. Finally, you must reconfigure the client applications to connect to the RHN Satellite
Server.
Once finished, your systems will be ready to begin receiving RHN updates.
8.3.1. Installing Additional Packages
This section steps you through the process of getting RHN-required packages installed on
your base operating system. These packages, which do not come with standard installations
of UNIX, are prerequisites to using Red Hat Network.
Of primary importance is the
Red Hat Update Agent for UNIX
(
RHATu2d
), which pro-
vides the link between your clients systems and the Red Hat Network service. The UNIX-
specific version of the
Red Hat Update Agent
is limited in functionality compared to its
Linux counterpart but still enables system registration and facilitates package installs and
updates. Refer to Section 8.4
Registration and Updates
for a full description of the tool’s
options.
Follow these steps to install the required packages on your UNIX systems:
1. Download the compressed archive (tarball) of packages from the
/var/www/html/pub/
directory of your satellite server by using your favorite http
file transfer method. For example, if you have
wget
installed, you could download
the tarball as follows:
wget https://your-satellite.example.com/pub/rhn-solaris-bootstrap-
<
version
>
- \
<
solaris-arch
>
-
<
solaris-version
>
.tar.gz
Note
Be sure to choose the appropriate package archive for the architecture and for the
version of Solaris running on your client machine. Refer to the README file in
the archive for more specific technical information regading the packages and their
installation.
2. Decompress the package archive.
3. Use the UNIX variant’s native installation tool to then install each package. For ex-
ample, on Solaris machines use the
pkgadd
command:
pkgadd -n -d /path/to/RHATu2d.package all
Note that there is a recommended order in which the packages should be installed.
This information is specified in the README file included in the package archive.
Please refer to this file for package installation details.
4. Answer ’yes’ or ’all’ to any prompts during package install
5. Answer any queries regarding permissions/ownership and repeat the installation
command for each required package.
