7.3. Configuring the Slave Red Hat Network Satellite Servers

To configure Red Hat Network Satellite Slave servers for Inter-Satellite Sync, ensure that you have the ORG-SSL certificate from your Master Red Hat Network Satellite server so you can securely transfer content. This can be downloaded over http from the /pub/ directory of any Satellite. The file is called RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT, but can be renamed and placed anywhere on the Slave Satellite, such as the /usr/share/rhn/ directory.

For information about SSL configuration for use with Red Hat Network Satellite, refer to Chapter 3, "SSL Infrastructure" in the Red Hat Network Satellite Client Configuration Guide

Once the SSL certificate is placed on the Slave server, you can see the list of channels available to sync from the Master Satellite server by running the following command (replacing the master.satellite.example.com with the hostname of the Master Satellite server):

satellite-sync --iss-parent=master.satellite.example.com --ca-cert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT --list-channels

This command lists both Red Hat Network Hosted channels as well as any custom channels available on the Master Satellite server.
