3.2. Synchronizing the New Repositories

You must enable and synchronize the new 6.8 repositories before you can upgrade Capsule Servers and Satellite clients.

Procedure

  1. In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Content > Red Hat Repositories.
  2. Toggle the Recommended Repositories switch to the On position.

  3. From the list of results, expand the following repositories and click the Enable icon to enable the repositories:

    • To upgrade Satellite clients, enable the Red Hat Satellite Tools 6.8 repositories for all Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions that clients use.

    • If you have Capsule Servers, to upgrade them, enable the following repositories too:

      Red Hat Satellite Capsule 6.8 (for RHEL 7 Server) (RPMs)

      Red Hat Satellite Maintenance 6 (for RHEL 7 Server) (RPMs)

      Red Hat Ansible Engine 2.9 RPMs for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server

      Red Hat Software Collections RPMs for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server

    注記

    If the 6.8 repositories are not available, refresh the Subscription Manifest. Navigate to Content > Subscriptions, click Manage Manifest, then click Refresh.

  4. Navigate to Content > Sync Status.
  5. Click the arrow next to the product to view the available repositories.
  6. Select the repositories for 6.8.

  7. Click Synchronize Now.

    重要

    If an error occurs when you try to synchronize a repository, refresh the manifest. If the problem persists, raise a support request. Do not delete the manifest from the Customer Portal or in the Satellite web UI; this removes all the entitlements of your content hosts.

  8. If you use Content Views to control updates to the base operating system of Capsule Server, update those Content Views with new repositories, publish, and promote their updated versions. For more information, see Managing Content Views in the Content Management Guide.
