Chapter 2.
Major Corrections
The following are the major bug fixes and workarounds released as part of RHN Satellite Server
5.1.0.
• The RHN Satellite Server 5.1.0 installation has been changed so that it now requires the
following:
• The @Base installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux on the system where the Satellite
Server is being installed
• Either the system must be registered with Red Hat Network Hosted service so that
can operate correctly or be able to install additional software manually.
• The service, by default, no longer fails over to the Satellite when the Proxy is
osad
unavailable. To enable Proxy failover to the Satellite, edit the following line in the
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad.conf

Configuration Channels page.

SELinux policy.
• An issue was fixed where the State/Province field was not saved after editing and updating
the System Properties page.

Errata Update page.
