Solution In Progress - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat Satellite 6.1 or earlier

Issue

  • Auto errata update feature in Red Hat Satellite 6.1 or earlier
  • How to apply the updates/errata's to the client automatically?
  • Is auto-errata apply feature available in Red Hat Satellite 6?

Resolution

  • Upgrade the Red Hat Satellite server to 6.2 or later version to use remote execution.

  • Red Hat Satellite 6.2 and later has the ability with the Remote Execution feature to schedule future recurring jobs that can be run daily, weekly or custom schedules to automatically apply errata updates as they become available in the Content View assigned to your systems. See the documentation in Section 5.2.2 for more information.

Root Cause

  • Currently, there is no such feature available with Satellite 6.1.x with which updates can be applied to the client automatically.
