the login information.
4. Log into the RHN website (rhn.redhat.com) and download the distribution ISOs for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux AS 3 or 4 and RHN Satellite Server 5.0.0. These can be found within the
Downloads tab of the respective Channel Details pages. Refer to the RHN Reference
Guide for instructions.
5. While still logged into the RHN website, download the Channel Content ISOs to be served by
your Satellite, also available through the Downloads tab of your Satellite's Channel Details
page. These Channel Content ISOs differ from the distribution ISOs previously mentioned in
that they contain metadata necessary for parsing and serving packages by Satellite.
6. If installing a Stand-Alone Database, prepare your database instance using the formula
provided in
Chapter 2, Requirements
.
7. Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS and then RHN Satellite Server 5.0.0 on the Satellite
machine.
8. Create the first user account on the Satellite by opening the Satellite's hostname in a Web
browser and clicking Create Account. This will be the Satellite Administrator's (also referred
to as the Organization Administrator) account.
9. Use the RHN Satellite Synchronization Tool to import the channels and associated
packages into the Satellite.
10.Register a representative machine for each distribution type, or channel (Red Hat Enterprise
Linux AS 2.1, 3, 4), to the Satellite.
11.Copy (using SCP) the
rhn_register
and
up2date
configuration files from the
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/
directory of each machine individually to the
/pub/
directory on the
Satellite. The
rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert-*.noarch.rpm
will already be there.
12.Download and install from the Satellite the configuration files and
rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert-*.noarch.rpm
on the remaining client systems of the same
distribution type. Repeat this and the previous step until all distribution types are complete.
13.Through the Satellite's website, create an Activation Key for each distribution aligned to the
appropriate base channel. At this point, system groups and child channels may also be
predefined.
14.Run the Activation Key from the command line (
rhnreg_ks
) of each client system. Note that
this step can be scripted to batch register and reconfigure all remaining client systems in a
distribution.
15.Record all relevant usernames, passwords and other login information and store in multiple
secure places.
16.Now that the Satellite is populated with standard Red Hat channels and packages and all
clients are connected to it, you may begin creating and serving custom channels and
packages. Once the custom RPMs are developed, you can import them into the Satellite
