Chapter 6. Importing and Synchronizing

satellite-sync
This tool can be used in a closed environment, such as the one created with a disconnected install,
or it may obtain data directly over the Internet. Closed environment imports can get their data from
downloaded ISOs or from the XML data generated by
RHN Satellite Exporter
.
The
RHN Satellite Synchronization Tool
works incrementally, or in steps. For it to obtain Errata
information, it must first know the packages contained. For the packages to be updated, the tool must
first identify the associated channel(s). For this reason, the
RHN Satellite Synchronization Tool
performs its actions in the following order:
1.
channel-families
— Import/synchronize channel family (architecture) data.
2.
channels
— Import/synchronize channel data.
3.
rpms
— Import/synchronize RPMs.
4.
packages
— Import/synchronize full package data for those RPMs retrieved successfully.
5.
errata
— Import/synchronize Errata information.
Each of these steps can be initiated individually for testing purposes with the effect of forcing the tool
to stop when that step is complete. All steps that precede it, however, will have taken place. Therefore,
calling the
rpms
step will automatically ensure the
channels
and
channel-families
steps take
place first. To initiate an individual step, use the
--step
option, like so:
satellite-sync --step= rpms
In addition to
--step
, the
RHN Satellite Synchronization Tool
offers many other command
line options. To use them, insert the option and the appropriate value after the
satellite-sync
command when launching import/synchronization.
