3.3. Enabling Red Hat Repositories
This section describes how to enable the required Red Hat repositories in order to support provisioning a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 host. Select the required release to suit your deployment. This procedure enables the following repositories:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server (Kickstart): This allows Satellite to kickstart a host. This is roughly analogous to a Satellite 5 "kickstart tree."
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server (RPMs): This provides ongoing content and errata. This is roughly analogous to the Satellite 5 "rhel-x86_64-server-6" channel.
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server - Satellite Tools (RPMs): This provides supporting software, such as Puppet and katello-agent. This is roughly analogous to the Satellite 5 "rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-6" channel.
Procedure 3.3. To Enable Red Hat Repositories:
- Select → .
- On the Kickstarts tab, navigate to → and select the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server Kickstart x86_64 6.5 (or later) repository.
Important
Do NOT select the 6Server Kickstart repository; future versions of Satellite hide these unnecessary Kickstart repositories. - On the RPMs tab, navigate to → and select the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server RPMs x86_64 6Server repository.
- On the RPMs tab, navigate to → and select the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server - Satellite Tools RPMs x86_64 repository.
Where did the comment section go?
Red Hat's documentation publication system recently went through an upgrade to enable speedier, more mobile-friendly content. We decided to re-evaluate our commenting platform to ensure that it meets your expectations and serves as an optimal feedback mechanism. During this redesign, we invite your input on providing feedback on Red Hat documentation via the discussion platform.
