Table 6.2. Satellite Import/Sync Options
If no options are included, satellite-sync synchronizes all channels that already exist in the
Satellite's database. By default, the --step (all steps) option is enabled.
Keep in mind that the --channel option requires the channel label, not its name. For instance, use
"rhel-i386-as-3" not "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 i386." Use the --list-channels option to obtain a
list of all channels by label. All displayed channels are available for importing and synchronizing.
