Requirements
These requirements must be met before installation.
2.1. Software Requirements
To perform an installation, the following software components must be available:
•
Base operating system — RHN Satellite Server is supported with Red Hat Enterprise
Linux AS 3 Update 5 or later, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4 only. The operating
system can be installed from disc, local ISO image, kickstart, or any of the methods
supported by Red Hat, but must contain certain packages not included in a standard
installation.
•
Satellite installation disc or ISO — this contains the
RHN Satellite Server Installation
Program
.
•
Channel content — All software packages and data exported for all entitled Red Hat
channels. This content may be loaded directly on the Satellite after installation using the
RHN Satellite Synchronization Tool
or obtained from your Red Hat representative if
synchronization is not possible, such as in a disconnected environment.
Each version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS requires additional packages to support
RHN Satellite Server. The following sections identify Red Hat’s recommended methods
for obtaining the desired package set for each version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS.
Installing packages other than those specified can lead to package conflicts.
2.1.1. Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4 Packages
To install RHN Satellite Server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4 and newer, first obtain
the required packages in one of the following ways.
Warning
Security-enhanced Linux (SELinux) must be disabled or in permissive mode prior to in-
stallation of RHN Satellite Server. To do this during CD or ISO image installation, select
Permissive
when presented with options for SELinux support. To do this for kickstart
installation, include the command
selinux --permissive
or wait for the install to com-
plete, edit the
/etc/selinux/config
file to read
SELINUX=permissive
and reboot the
system.
