reposync

Hi All,

Trying to run reposync (as root) against a local satellite server from a RHEL6_64 workstation client and the command will not run, just returns me to the prompt. I need to do this as I have several RHEL6 machines that are not connected to the Internet nor the network with satellite server and need to get some updates over there.

First run yum repolist and get the following:

epel-beta-rhel-x86_64-workstation-6 EPEL Channel - RHEL Workstation v.6 for x86_64 28,829
rhel-x86_64-workstation-6 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6 for x86_64) 17,899
rhel-x86_64-workstation-6-thirdparty-oracle-java Oracle Java for RHEL Workstation (v. 6 for x86_64) 337
rhel-x86_64-workstation-optional-6 RHEL Workstation Optional (v. 6 for x86_64) 8,074
rhel-x86_64-workstation-supplementary-6 RHEL Workstation Supplementary (v. 6 for x86_64) 591
rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-workstation-6 RHN Tools for RHEL Workstation (v. 6 for 64-bit x86_64) 188

So next try reposync against the rhel-x86_64-workstation-6-thirdparty-oracle-java :

reposync -p /mnt/RHEL6updates --repoid=rhel-x86_64-workstation-6-thirdparty-oracle-java

or

reposync --repoid=rhel-x86_64-workstation-6-thirdparty-oracle-java --download_path=/mnt/RHEL6updates

Either way just returns me to promt and does nothing. Do I need admin on the local satellite server or should this work file as root on the RHEL6_64 workstation client ?

Ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Joe
