Chapter 8. Maintenance
You may use custom scripting or other means to establish automatic start-up/failover
of the
RHN Task Engine
on the secondary Satellite. Regardless, it will need to be
started upon failover.
7. Share channel package data (by default located in
/var/satellite
) between the
Satellites over some type of networked storage device. This eliminates data replica-
tion and ensures a consistent store of data for each Satellite.
8. Make the various Satellites available on your network via Common Name and a
method suiting your infrastructure. Options include round-robin DNS, a network
load balancer, and a reverse-proxy setup.
8.7. Conducting Satellite-Specific Tasks
Using a RHN Satellite Server is quite similar to using the hosted version of Red Hat Net-
work. For this reason, you should consult the
RHN Reference Guide
to obtain detailed in-
structions to standard tasks, such as editing System Profiles and updating packages. Tasks
directly related to managing custom channels and Errata are covered in the
RHN Chan-
nel Management Guide
. This section seeks to explain activities available only to Satellite
customers.
8.7.1. Using the Tools menu
In addition to the standard categories available to all users through the top navigation bar,
Satellite Organization Administrators also have access to a
Tools
menu. Clicking this opens
the
RHN Internal Tools
page.
