Comments on: How to populate content on a disconnected Red Hat Network Satellite server http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2008/04/03/how-to-populate-content-on-a-disconnected-satellite/ Red Hat Magazine Sun, 7 Sep 2008 08:15:58 +0000 http://lyceum.ibiblio.org/?v=1.0.2 by: Mike http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2008/04/03/how-to-populate-content-on-a-disconnected-satellite/#comment-126222 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 14:02:35 +0000 http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2008/04/03/how-to-populate-content-on-a-disconnected-satellite/#comment-126222 I would like to know if anyone has issues/proven that the date import actually works. From our multiple attempts, the export seems to operate fine, yet during the import the main "database" of channel XML files expects all links to the RPMs, errata, etc. verses a subset from the date range specified. FYI: From the primary sat server of 5.1.1 to the disconnected system of 5.0.0. I would like to know if anyone has issues/proven that the date import actually works.

Thought you would like to know. Thanks, RHN Satellite is now open sourced as Spacewalk Project. Thought you would like to know.

Unless of course you go for another product to manage all those things.

RH should learn from Google if they want to break the $1, $2 Billion mark.

Previously, exporter had to generate whole base no matter how much you need to update. But now you can specify a date range as suggested in the article and download the incremental content. Which should reduce the content size and export time considerably. Also, note the New options added in 5.1 for generation of Incremental content dumps and Iso generation locally.

But If you have only a disconnected satellite then you still need to get them through the channel dumps hosted on rhn.redhat.com.
