Best practice for bulk patching of RHEL with Satellite

Hi all,

Has anybody already established some best practice for bulk patching of RHEL machines with the help of the Satellite Server (version 6.2+)?
Our use case would be more or less something like that: a few scores of RedHat machines (RHEL 6.X and RHEL 7.2) need to be upgraded to the newest minor version (resp. 6.9 and 7.3). All the test machines should be upgraded first, all the production afterwards.

If anybody has gained some experience already with mass patching of RHEL systems using the Satellite Server, could you please share it?

Thanks and best regards,
Joanna
