第3章 Organizations, Locations, and Life Cycle Environments
Red Hat Satellite takes a consolidated approach to Organization and Location management. System administrators define multiple Organizations and multiple Locations in a single Satellite Server. For example, a company might have three Organizations (Finance, Marketing, and Sales) across three countries (United States, United Kingdom, and Japan). In this example, the Satellite Server manages all Organizations across all geographical Locations, creating nine distinct contexts for managing systems. In addition, users can define specific locations and nest them to create a hierarchy. For example, Satellite administrators might divide the United States into specific cities, such as Boston, Phoenix, or San Francisco.
図3.1 Example Topology for Red Hat Satellite
The Satellite Server defines all locations and organizations. Each respective Satellite Capsule Server synchronizes content and handles configuration of systems in a different location.
The main Satellite Server retains the management function, while the content and configuration is synchronized between the main Satellite Server and a Satellite Capsule Server assigned to certain locations.
3.1. Organizations
Organizations divide Red Hat Satellite resources into logical groups based on ownership, purpose, content, security level, or other divisions. You can create and manage multiple organizations through Red Hat Satellite, then divide and assign your subscriptions to each individual organization. This provides a method of managing the content of several individual organizations under one management system.
