4.2.2. Synchronizing Content
By default,
katello-disconnected enables all repositories that are included in the manifest for synchronization. Synchronization time is directly related to the amount of repositories to be synchronized. If the manifest has a large amount of repositories, the synchronization will take time and network resources.
katello-disconnected allows for the synchronization of specific repositories. This section will set up Pulp for synchronizing content.
- Disable all repositories:
# katello-disconnected disable --all
katello-disconnectedenables all repositories by default. - Choose which repositories you wish to sync by listing all available repositories from the manifest:
# katello-disconnected list --disabled rhel-5-server-debug-rpms-5Server-i386 rhel-5-server-debug-rpms-5Server-ia64 rhel-5-server-debug-rpms-5Server-x86_64 rhel-5-server-debug-rpms-5_7-i386 rhel-5-server-debug-rpms-5_7-ia64 rhel-5-server-debug-rpms-5_7-x86_64 rhel-5-server-debug-rpms-5_8-i386 rhel-5-server-debug-rpms-5_8-ia64 rhel-5-server-debug-rpms-5_8-x86_64 rhel-5-server-debug-rpms-5_9-i386 rhel-5-server-debug-rpms-5_9-ia64 rhel-5-server-debug-rpms-5_9-x86_64 rhel-5-server-isos-5Server-i386
- Enable the chosen repositories for synchronization:
# katello-disconnected enable -r rhel-6-server-sam-rpms-6_4-x86_64
- Create the repositories and push them to Pulp to allow synchronization:
# katello-disconnected configure
Note
The configure option forkatello-disconnectedreads the manifest, creates pulp repositories, and generates scripts before synchronization. It needs to be run each time a repository is enabled or disabled. - Synchronize the repositories:
# katello-disconnected sync
You can use thewatchoption to monitor the synchronization process.# katello-disconnected watch Watching sync... (this may be safely interrupted with Ctrl+C) running: rhel-6-server-sam-rpms-6_4-x86_64 running: rhel-6-server-sam-rpms-6_4-x86_64 ... finished: rhel-6-server-sam-rpms-6_4-x86_64 Watching finished
Content is now synchronized.
