Appendix B. Importing Kickstart Repositories


Kickstart repositories are not provided by the Content ISO image. To use Kickstart repositories in your disconnected Satellite, you must download a binary DVD ISO file for the version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux that you want to use and copy the Kickstart files to Satellite.

To import Kickstart repositories for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, complete Section B.1, “Importing Kickstart Repositories for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9”.

To import Kickstart repositories for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, complete Section B.2, “Importing Kickstart Repositories for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8”.

To import Kickstart repositories for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, complete Section B.3, “Importing Kickstart Repositories for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7”.

B.1. Importing Kickstart Repositories for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9

Use this procedure to import Kickstart repositories for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the Red Hat Customer Portal at access.redhat.com/downloads and log in.
  2. Click Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
  3. Select a product variant and a product version from the list. For example, product variant Red Hat Enterprise Linux for x86_64 and product version 9.0.
  4. Locate the full installation image, for example, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.0 Binary DVD, and click Download Now. Note that you cannot provision hosts using the minimal ISO.
  5. When the download completes, copy the ISO image to Satellite Server.
  6. On Satellite Server, create a mount point and temporarily mount the ISO image at that location:

    # mkdir /mnt/iso
    # mount -o loop rhel-binary-dvd.iso /mnt/iso

    Replace rhel-binary-dvd.iso with the name of your ISO image.

  7. Create directories for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 AppStream and BaseOS Kickstart repositories:

    # mkdir --parents /var/www/html/pub/satellite-import/content/dist/rhel9/9.0/x86_64/appstream/kickstart
    # mkdir --parents /var/www/html/pub/satellite-import/content/dist/rhel9/9.0/x86_64/baseos/kickstart
  8. Copy the kickstart files from the ISO image:

    # cp -a /mnt/iso/AppStream/* /var/www/html/pub/satellite-import/content/dist/rhel9/9.0/x86_64/appstream/kickstart
    # cp -a /mnt/iso/BaseOS/* /mnt/iso/images/ /var/www/html/pub/satellite-import/content/dist/rhel9/9.0/x86_64/baseos/kickstart

    Note that for BaseOS, you must also copy the contents of the /mnt/iso/images/ directory.

  9. Add the following entries to the listing files:

    To the /var/www/html/pub/satellite-import/content/dist/rhel9/9.0/x86_64/appstream/listing file, append kickstart with a new line.

    To the /var/www/html/pub/satellite-import/content/dist/rhel9/9.0/x86_64/baseos/listing file, append kickstart with a new line.

    To the /var/www/html/pub/satellite-import/content/dist/rhel8/listing file, append the version number with a new line. For example, for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.0 binary ISO, append 9.0.

  10. Copy the .treeinfo files from the ISO image:

    # cp /mnt/iso/.treeinfo /var/www/html/pub/satellite-import/content/dist/rhel9/9.0/x86_64/appstream/kickstart/treeinfo
    # cp /mnt/iso/.treeinfo /var/www/html/pub/satellite-import/content/dist/rhel9/9.0/x86_64/baseos/kickstart/treeinfo
  11. Open the /var/www/html/pub/satellite-import/content/dist/rhel9/9.0/x86_64/baseos/kickstart/treeinfo file for editing.
  12. In the [general] section, make the following changes:

    • Change packagedir = AppStream/Packages to packagedir = Packages
    • Change repository = AppStream to repository = .
    • Change variant = AppStream to variant = BaseOS
    • Change variants = AppStream,BaseOS to variants = BaseOS
  13. In the [tree] section, change variants = AppStream,BaseOS to variants = BaseOS.
  14. In the [variant-BaseOS] section, make the following changes:

    • Change packages = BaseOS/Packages to packages = Packages
    • Change repository = BaseOS to repository = .
  15. Delete the [media] and [variant-AppStream] sections.
  16. Save and close the file.
  17. Verify that the /var/www/html/pub/satellite-import/content/dist/rhel9/9.0/x86_64/baseos/kickstart/treeinfo file has the following format:
