What will replace katello-disconnected?
Hi All,
I work in environments with disconnected networks. I recently set up a satellite 6.1.1 server and a synchost to sync the content from redhat and then perform an export to use to provide content for the disconnected satellite.
I noticed that the most recent Satellite Install document does not include information on setting up a synchost and the previous version indicates that the synchost will be deprecated in a future release of satellite.
I am aware that there are content ISOs available, however they appear to be out of date. Our environment has security requirements that must be met. We sometimes get 7 day turn-around for patching. Also, it will be a big deal to download hundreds of GIGs of content ISOs every week, instead of just syncing a connected satellite synchost.
Therefore, the question is, what is Red Hat's plan going forward?
Will an export functionality be added to satellite V6 so it can perform an export similar to Satellite V5 was able to do?
Will the content ISOs be updated more frequently?
Or Is there some other solution that Red Hat plans to engineer or provide to those of us who want to use satellite on disconnected networks.
Thanks
Diane
