Red Hat Training
A Red Hat training course is available for Red Hat Satellite
4.4.4. Switch Satellite to Connected Mode
The installation was completed in disconnected mode, so must be switched to connected mode.
Procedure 4.6. Switch to Connected Mode
- Edit the Red Hat Network configuration file
/etc/rhn/rhn.conf
and make the following changes: - Edit the
server.satellite.rhn_parent
line as follows.# server.satellite.rhn_parent = satellite.rhn.redhat.com
- Change the line
disconnected=1
todisconnected=0
.disconnected=0
- Validate the configuration changes.
# spacewalk-cfg-get get server disconnected
The expected output is0
, confirming that disconnected mode is not enabled.# spacewalk-cfg-get get server.satellite rhn_parent
The expected output issatellite.rhn.redhat.com
.
- Reactivate the Satellite Server.
# rhn-satellite-activate -vvv --rhn-cert=Satellite-56.cert RHN_PARENT: satellite.rhn.redhat.com
Therhn-satellite-activate
command requires as input the certificate downloaded in Section 4.1.3, “Obtaining an Entitlement Certificate”. In this example, the certificate was saved in fileSatellite-56.cert
.When the Satellite Server is reactivated, you may see the messageERROR: Server not registered? No systemid: /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid
. This can be safely ignored because thesystemid
file is the Red Hat Network system ID and no longer relevant.
