Installation
This chapter describes the initial installation of the RHN Satellite Server. It presumes the
prerequisites listed in
Chapter 2, Requirements
have been met. If you are instead upgrading to
a newer version of RHN Satellite Server, contact your Red Hat representative for assistance.
1. Base Install
The RHN Satellite Server is designed to run on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS operating
system. Therefore, the first phase is to install the base operating system, either from disc, ISO
image, or kickstart. During and after operating system installation, make sure you:
• Allocate plenty of space to the partitions storing data. The default location for channel
packages is
/var/satellite/
. For RHN Satellite Server with Embedded Database,
remember the database RPMs go in the
/opt/
partition, while the database itself is built in
/rhnsat/
. Refer to
Section 2, “Hardware Requirements”
for precise specifications.
• Enable Network Time Protocol (NTP) on the Satellite and separate database, if it exists, and
select the appropriate time zone. All client systems should already be running the
ntpd
daemon and be set to the correct time zone.
• Due to potential complications, it is strongly advised that the
/home/
partition is locally
mounted.
2. RHN Satellite Server Installation Program
The following instructions describe how to run the RHN Satellite Server Installation Program:
Important
Due to potential complications, it is strongly advised that the
/home/
partition is
locally mounted.
1. Log into the machine as root.
2. Insert the RHN Satellite Server CD containing the installation files or download the ISO
image from the RHN website.
3. If you are installing from CD, Red Hat Enterprise Linux may automount the CD. If it does so,
it will mount the CD to the
/media/cdrom/
directory.
If Red Hat Enterprise Linux does not automount the CD, manually mount it to the
/media/cdrom/
directory with the following command:
