  • Deploy Updates and Security Fixes to Disconnected RHEL 6.7 Servers?

    Posted on

    I have multiple environments that are not internet connected and contain RHEL 6.7 servers.
    I need to be able to provide updates and security fixes to these servers on a regular basis.

    We don't have Satellite and there are no plans to deploy it.
    From the research I've done, it appears that my next best option is a YUM Repo server?
    I have found two different methods of achieving this from searching the RedHat site.

    https://access.redhat.com/solutions/45956
    and
    https://access.redhat.com/solutions/23016

    One method utilizes 'reposync' while the other uses a combination of:
    yumdownloader --resolve

    rpm -qa
    --destdir /tmp/rpm_updates
    and
    yum update --downloadonly --downloaddir /tmp/rpm_updates

    Which method should I use?
    45956 or 23016?

    I also need to install Security updates on these systems.
    How should I do this?
    I found this on the RedHat site.
    https://access.redhat.com/solutions/55654
    Do I need to implement this?

    Thanks!
