Repos and maintaining a minor release when patching using Satellite

Latest response

Hello,

I have a disconnected Satellite with the 6Server and 7Server repos made available to our various RHEL 6 and RHEL 7 servers.

Our support staff has indicated that there may be situations where we would need to patch a client (lets say a RHEL 6.7 server) and maintain it's minor release version to 6.7.

I tried using only minor release repos in Satellite, but that didn't work since it was looking for 6Server and 7Server repos. (See https://access.redhat.com/discussions/3610201) We only use Standard subscriptions if that matters.

Is it possible to patch a server through Satellite and maintain the minor release version? Do I need to download the 6Server/7Server repos as well as the minor release repos in order to do this?
