1.5. Summary of Steps

Implementing a fully functional RHN Satellite Server requires more than installing soft-
ware and a database. Client systems must be configured to use the Satellite. Custom pack-
ages and channels should be created for optimal use. Since these tasks extend beyond the
basic installation, they are covered in detail in other guides, as well as this RHN Satellite
Server Installation Guide. For a full list of the necessary technical documents, refer to
Chapter 2 Requirements.
For this reason, this section seeks to provide a definitive list of all required and recom-
mended steps, from evaluation through custom package deployment. They should take
place in roughly this order:
1. After an evaluation, you contact your Red Hat sales representative to purchase RHN
Satellite Server.
2. Your Red Hat contact sends you an RHN Entitlement Certificate via email.
