4.2.3. Exporting Content
Prerequisites
An external export media such as a CD, DVD, or external hard drive.
The synchronized content needs to be exported to enable importing into the disconnected Red Hat Satellite. To do so:
- Export the synchronized repositories:
# katello-disconnected export -t /var/tmp/export
The output will look similar to:# katello-disconnected export -t /var/tmp/export # katello-disconnected watch Watching sync... (this may be safely interrupted with Ctrl+C) running: rhel-6-server-sam-rpms-6_4-x86_64 finished: rhel-6-server-sam-rpms-6_4-x86_64 Watching finished Done watching ... Copying content to /var/tmp/export Archiving contents of /var/tmp/export into 4600M tar archives. NOTE: This may take a while. tar: Removing leading `/' from member names Done exporting content, please copy /var/tmp/export/* to your disconnected host
This operation will create the following files in/var/tmp/export:# ls /var/tmp/export/ content-export-00 content-export-01 content-export-02 expand_export.sh
- Copy the files from /var/tmp/export into the external media.
Note
If the files are too big for your external media, the files can be copied sequentially in a series of DVDs.
The synchronized content has now been exported and ready for importing to the disconnected Satellite server.
