6.3.2. Synchronizing Errata and Packages via Local Media
For customers who cannot connect their Satellite directly to RHN, Red Hat recommends downloading
Channel Content ISOs to a separate, Internet-connected system and then transferred to the Satellite.
Refer to Section 6.2.2 Preparing for Import for instructions on downloading the ISOs. For ease of
import, we recommend that the data be copied from media directly into a common repository through
a command such as the following:
cp -rv /mnt/cdrom/* /var/rhn-sat-sync/
Then, the following command:
satellite-sync -c rhel-i386-as-3 --mount-point /var/rhn-sat-sync
This can be used to perform the sync process described above, using the dump files in
to perform the necessary comparisons and imports. See Section 6.2.3
/var/rhn-sat-sync
Running the Import for precise steps.
