3.3. Enabling Red Hat Repositories
This section describes how to enable the required Red Hat repositories in order to support provisioning a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 host. Select the required release to suit your deployment. This procedure enables the following repositories:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server (Kickstart): This allows Satellite to kickstart a host. This is roughly analogous to a Satellite 5 "kickstart tree."
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server (RPMs): This provides ongoing content and errata. This is roughly analogous to the Satellite 5 "rhel-x86_64-server-6" channel.
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server - Satellite Tools (RPMs): This provides supporting software, such as Puppet and katello-agent. This is roughly analogous to the Satellite 5 "rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-6" channel.
Procedure 3.3. To Enable Red Hat Repositories:
- Select
. - On the Kickstarts tab, navigate to
and select the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server Kickstart x86_64 6.5 (or later) repository. Important
Do NOT select the 6Server Kickstart repository; future versions of Satellite hide these unnecessary Kickstart repositories. - On the RPMs tab, navigate to
and select the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server RPMs x86_64 6Server repository. - On the RPMs tab, navigate to
and select the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server - Satellite Tools RPMs x86_64 repository.
