Chapter 3. Installing Red Hat Satellite Proxy
This chapter describes the installation and basic configuration of Red Hat Satellite Proxy Server. It assumes the prerequisites listed in Chapter 2, Requirements have been met. However, if you are upgrading to a later version of Red Hat Satellite Proxy Server, see Chapter 7, Upgrading a Red Hat Proxy Server Installation.
3.1. Summary of Installation Steps
A functional Red Hat Satellite Proxy requires more than installing software. Client systems require configuration, and the Satellite Proxy often requires that custom repositories be set up. This section provides a high-level list of steps.
- Obtain and install the Red Hat Satellite Proxy entitlements on your Red Hat Satellite server. This involves creating an updated entitlement certificate on the Red Hat Customer Portal. See Section 3.2, “Obtaining Satellite Proxy Entitlements”.
- Upload the updated entitlement certificate on your Red Hat Satellite server and synchronize the required channels for Satellite Proxy. See Section 3.3, “Uploading Satellite Proxy Entitlements to Satellite”.
- Create or provision a new Red Hat Enterprise Linux system for use as the Satellite Proxy host and register it to Satellite. See Section 3.4, “Installing the Operating System on the Satellite Proxy Host”
- Install the required packages on the Satellite Proxy host. See Section 3.5, “Installing the Red Hat Satellite Proxy Server Packages”
- Run the
configure-proxy.shinstallation script. See Section 3.6, “Running the Red Hat Satellite Proxy Installation Script” - Perform any necessary post-configuration tasks. See Section 3.7, “Performing Post-installation Tasks”
