Chapter 9. Synchronizing Content Between Satellite Servers
In a Satellite setup with multiple Satellite Servers, you can use Inter-Satellite Synchronization (ISS) to synchronize content from one upstream server to one or more downstream servers.
There are two possible ISS configurations of Satellite, depending on how you deployed your infrastructure. Configure your Satellite for ISS as appropriate for your use case scenario. For more information, see How to Configure Inter-Satellite Synchronization in Installing Satellite Server in a Disconnected Network Environment. To change the pulp export path, see the Knowledgebase article Hammer content export fails with "Path '/the/path' is not an allowed export path" on the Red Hat Customer Portal.
9.1. How to Synchronize Content Using Export and Import
There are multiple approaches for synchronizing content using the export and import workflow:
- You employ the upstream Satellite Server as a content store, which means that you sync the whole Library rather than Content View versions. This approach offers the simplest export/import workflow. In such case, you can manage the versions downstream. For more information, see Section 9.1.1, “Using an Upstream Satellite Server as a Content Store”.
- You use the upstream Satellite Server to sync Content View versions. This approach offers more control over what content is synced between Satellite Servers. For more information, see Section 9.1.2, “Using an Upstream Satellite Server to Sync Content View Versions”.
- You sync a single repository. This can be useful if you use the Content-View syncing approach, but you want to sync an additional repository without adding it to an existing Content View. For more information, see Section 9.1.3, “Synchronizing a Single Repository”.
9.1.1. Using an Upstream Satellite Server as a Content Store
In this scenario, you use the upstream Satellite Server as a content store for updates rather than to manage content. You use the downstream Satellite Server to manage content for all infrastructure behind the isolated network. You export the Library content from the upstream Satellite Server and import it into the downstream Satellite Server.
On the upstream Satellite Server
Ensure that repositories are using the Immediate download policy in one of the following ways:
- For existing repositories using On Demand, change their download policy on the repository details page to Immediate.
- For new repositories, ensure that the Default Red Hat Repository download policy setting is set to Immediate before enabling Red Hat repositories, and that the Default download policy is set to Immediate for custom repositories.
For more information, see Section 6.7, “Download Policies Overview”.
Enable the content that you want to synchronize. For more information, see Section 6.5, “Enabling Red Hat Repositories”.
If you want to sync custom content, first create a custom Product and synchronize Product repositories.
Synchronize the enabled content:
-
On the first export, perform a
complete
Library export so that all the synchronized content is exported. This generates content archives that you can later import into one or more downstream Satellite Servers. For more information on performing a complete Library export, see Section 9.3, “Exporting the Library Environment”. - Export all future updates on the upstream Satellite Server incrementally. This generates leaner content archives that contain only a recent set of updates. For example, if you enable and synchronize a new repository, the next exported content archive contains content only from the newly enabled repository. For more information on performing an incremental Library export, see Section 9.4, “Exporting the Library Environment Incrementally”.
-
On the first export, perform a
On the downstream Satellite Server
- Bring the content exported from the upstream Satellite Server over to the hard disk.
-
Place it inside a directory under
/var/lib/pulp/imports
. Import the content to an organization using the procedure outlined in Section 9.10, “Importing into the Library Environment”.
You can then manage content using Content Views or Lifecycle Environments as you require.
9.1.2. Using an Upstream Satellite Server to Sync Content View Versions
In this scenario, you use the upstream Satellite Server not only as a content store, but also to synchronize content for all infrastructure behind the isolated network. You curate updates coming from the CDN into Content Views and Lifecycle Environments. Once you promote content to a designated Lifecycle Environment, you can export the content from the upstream Satellite Server and import it into the downstream Satellite Server.
On the upstream Satellite Server
Ensure that repositories are using the Immediate download policy in one of the following ways:
- For existing repositories using On Demand, change their download policy on the repository details page to Immediate.
- For new repositories, ensure that the Default Red Hat Repository download policy setting is set to Immediate before enabling Red Hat repositories, and that the Default download policy is set to Immediate for custom repositories.
For more information, see Section 6.7, “Download Policies Overview”.
Enable the content that you want to synchronize. For more information, see Section 6.5, “Enabling Red Hat Repositories”.
If you want to sync custom content, first create a custom Product and synchronize Product repositories.
Synchronize the enabled content:
-
For the first export, perform a
complete
Version export on the Content View Version that you want to export. For more information see, Section 9.5, “Exporting a Content View Version”. This generates content archives that you can import into one or more downstream Satellite Servers. - Export all future updates in the connected Satellite Servers incrementally. This generates leaner content archives that contain changes only from the recent set of updates. For example, if your Content View has a new repository, this exported content archive contains only the latest changes. For more information, see Section 9.6, “Exporting a Content View Version Incrementally”.
- When you have new content, republish the Content Views that include this content before exporting the increment. For more information, see Chapter 8, Managing Content Views. This creates a new Content View Version with the appropriate content to export.
-
For the first export, perform a
On the downstream Satellite Server
- Bring the content exported from the upstream Satellite Server over to the hard disk.
-
Place it inside a directory under
/var/lib/pulp/imports
. - Import the content to the organization that you want. For more information, see Section 9.11, “Importing a Content View Version”. This will create a Content View Version from the exported content archives and then import content appropriately.
9.1.3. Synchronizing a Single Repository
In this scenario, you export and import a single repository.
On the upstream Satellite Server
Ensure that the repository is using the Immediate download policy in one of the following ways:
- For existing repositories using On Demand, change their download policy on the repository details page to Immediate.
- For new repositories, ensure that the Default Red Hat Repository download policy setting is set to Immediate before enabling Red Hat repositories, and that the Default download policy is set to Immediate for custom repositories.
For more information, see Section 6.7, “Download Policies Overview”.
Enable the content that you want to synchronize. For more information, see Section 6.5, “Enabling Red Hat Repositories”.
If you want to sync custom content, first create a custom Product and synchronize Product repositories.
Synchronize the enabled content:
-
On the first export, perform a
complete
repository export so that all the synchronized content is exported. This generates content archives that you can later import into one or more downstream Satellite Servers. For more information on performing a complete repository export, see Section 9.7, “Exporting a Repository”. - Export all future updates on the upstream Satellite Server incrementally. This generates leaner content archives that contain only a recent set of updates. For more information on performing an incremental repository export, see Section 9.8, “Exporting a Repository Incrementally”.
-
On the first export, perform a
On the downstream Satellite Server
- Bring the content exported from the upstream Satellite Server over to the hard disk.
-
Place it inside a directory under
/var/lib/pulp/imports
. Import the content to an organization. See Section 9.12, “Importing a Repository”.
You can then manage content using Content Views or Lifecycle Environments as you require.
9.2. Synchronizing a Custom Repository
When using Inter-Satellite Synchronization Network Sync, Red Hat repositories are configured automatically, but custom repositories are not. Use this procedure to synchronize content from a custom repository on a connected Satellite Server to a disconnected Satellite Server through Inter-Satellite Synchronization (ISS) Network Sync.
Follow the procedure for the connected Satellite Server before completing the procedure for the disconnected Satellite Server.
Connected Satellite Server
- In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Content > Products.
- Click on the custom product.
- Click on the custom repository.
- Copy the Published At: URL.
- Continue with the procedure on disconnected Satellite Server.
Disconnected Satellite Server
Download the
katello-server-ca.crt
file from the connected Satellite Server:# curl http://satellite.example.com/pub/katello-server-ca.crt
-
Create an SSL Content Credential with the contents of
katello-server-ca.crt
. For more information on creating an SSL Content Credential, see Section 6.2, “Importing Custom SSL Certificates”. - In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Content > Products.
Create your custom product with the following:
- Upstream URL: Paste the link that you copied earlier.
- SSL CA Cert: Select the SSL certificate that was transferred from your connected Satellite Server.
For more information on creating a custom product, see Section 6.3, “Creating a Custom Product”.
After completing these steps, the custom repository is properly configured on the disconnected Satellite Server.
9.3. Exporting the Library Environment
You can export contents of all Yum repositories in the Library environment of an organization to an archive file from Satellite Server and use this archive file to create the same repositories in another Satellite Server or in another Satellite Server organization. The exported archive file contains the following data:
- A JSON file containing Content View version metadata
- An archive file containing all the repositories from the Library environment of the organization.
Satellite Server exports only RPM and kickstart files included in a Content View version. Satellite does not export the following content:
- Docker content
Prerequisites
To export the contents of the Library lifecycle environment of the organization, ensure that Satellite Server where you want to export meets the following conditions:
- Ensure that the export directory has free storage space to accommodate the export.
-
Ensure that the
/var/lib/pulp/exports
directory has free storage space equivalent to the size of the repositories being exported for temporary files created during the export process. - Ensure that you set download policy to Immediate for all repositories within the Library lifecycle environment you export. For more information, see Section 6.7, “Download Policies Overview”.
- Ensure that you synchronize Products that you export to the required date.
Export the Library Content of an Organization
Use the organization name or ID to export.
# hammer content-export complete library --organization="My_Organization"
Verify that the archive containing the exported version of a Content View is located in the export directory:
# ls -lh /var/lib/pulp/exports/My_Organization/Export-Library/1.0/2021-03-02T03-35-24-00-00 total 68M -rw-r--r--. 1 pulp pulp 68M Mar 2 03:35 export-1e25417c-6d09-49d4-b9a5-23df4db3d52a-20210302_0335.tar.gz -rw-r--r--. 1 pulp pulp 333 Mar 2 03:35 export-1e25417c-6d09-49d4-b9a5-23df4db3d52a-20210302_0335-toc.json -rw-r--r--. 1 pulp pulp 443 Mar 2 03:35 metadata.json
You need all three files, the
tar.gz
, thetoc.json
, and themetadata.json
file to be able to import.- A new Content View Export-Library is created in the organization. This Content View contains all the repositories belonging to this organization. A new version of this Content View is published and exported automatically.
Export with chunking
In many cases the exported archive content may be several gigabytes in size. If you want to split it into smaller sizes or chunks. You can use the --chunk-size-gb
flag directly in the export command to handle this. In the following example, you can see how to specify --chunk-size-gb=2
to split the archives in 2 GB
chunks.
# hammer content-export complete library \ --chunk-size-gb=2 \ --organization="My_Organization" Generated /var/lib/pulp/exports/My_Organization/Export-Library/2.0/2021-03-02T04-01-25-00-00/metadata.json # ls -lh /var/lib/pulp/exports/My_Organization/Export-Library/2.0/2021-03-02T04-01-25-00-00/
9.4. Exporting the Library Environment Incrementally
Exporting Library content can be a very expensive operation in terms of system resources. Organizations that have multiple Red Hat Enterprise Linux trees can occupy several gigabytes of space on Satellite Server.
In such cases, you can use Incremental Export to export only pieces of content that changed since the previous export. Incremental exports typically result in smaller archive files than the full exports.
The example below shows incremental export of all repositories in the organization’s Library.
Procedure
Create an incremental export:
# hammer content-export incremental library --organization="My_Organization" Generated /var/lib/pulp/exports/My_Organization/Export-Library/3.0/2021-03-02T04-22-14-00-00/metadata.json
Optional: View the exported data:
# ls -lh /var/lib/pulp/exports/My_Organization/Export-Library/3.0/2021-03-02T04-22-14-00-00/ total 172K -rw-r--r--. 1 pulp pulp 161K Mar 2 04:22 export-436882d8-de5a-48e9-a30a-17169318f908-20210302_0422.tar.gz -rw-r--r--. 1 pulp pulp 333 Mar 2 04:22 export-436882d8-de5a-48e9-a30a-17169318f908-20210302_0422-toc.json -rw-r--r--. 1 pulp pulp 492 Mar 2 04:22 metadata.json
9.5. Exporting a Content View Version
You can export a version of a Content View to an archive file from Satellite Server and use this archive file to create the same Content View version on another Satellite Server or on another Satellite Server organization. Satellite exports composite Content Views as normal Content Views. The composite nature is not retained. On importing the exported archive, a regular Content View is created or updated on your downstream Satellite Server. The exported archive file contains the following data:
- A JSON file containing Content View version metadata
- An archive file containing all the repositories included into the Content View version
Satellite Server exports only RPM and kickstart files added to a version of a Content View. Satellite does not export the following content:
- Docker content
- Content View definitions and metadata, such as package filters.
Prerequisites
To export a Content View, ensure that Satellite Server where you want to export meets the following conditions:
- Ensure that the export directory has free storage space to accommodate the export.
-
Ensure that the
/var/lib/pulp/exports
directory has free storage space equivalent to the size of the repositories being exported for temporary files created during the export process. - Ensure that you set download policy to Immediate for all repositories within the Content View you export. For more information, see Section 6.7, “Download Policies Overview”.
- Ensure that you synchronize Products that you export to the required date.
-
Ensure that the user exporting the content has the
Content Exporter
role.
To Export a Content View Version
List versions of the Content View that are available for export:
# hammer content-view version list \ --content-view="My_Content_View" \ --organization="My_Organization" ---|----------|---------|-------------|----------------------- ID | NAME | VERSION | DESCRIPTION | LIFECYCLE ENVIRONMENTS ---|----------|---------|-------------|----------------------- 5 | view 3.0 | 3.0 | | Library 4 | view 2.0 | 2.0 | | 3 | view 1.0 | 1.0 | | ---|----------|---------|-------------|----------------------
Export a Content View version
Get the version number of desired version. The following example targets version
1.0
for export.# hammer content-export complete version \ --content-view="Content_View_Name" \ --version=1.0 \ --organization="My_Organization"
Verify that the archive containing the exported version of a Content View is located in the export directory:
# ls -lh /var/lib/pulp/exports/My_Organization/Content_View_Name/1.0/2021-02-25T18-59-26-00-00/
You require all three files, for example, the tar.gz
archive file, the toc.json
and metadata.json
to import the content successfully.
Export with chunking
In many cases, the exported archive content can be several gigabytes in size. You might want to split it smaller sizes or chunks. You can use the --chunk-size-gb
option with in the hammer content-export
command to handle this. The following example uses the --chunk-size-gb=2
to split the archives into 2 GB
chunks.
# hammer content-export complete version \ --chunk-size-gb=2 \ --content-view="Content_View_Name" \ --organization="My_Organization" \ --version=1.0 # ls -lh /var/lib/pulp/exports/My_Organization/view/1.0/2021-02-25T21-15-22-00-00/
9.6. Exporting a Content View Version Incrementally
Exporting complete versions can be a very expensive operation in terms of system resources. Content View versions that have multiple Red Hat Enterprise Linux trees can occupy several gigabytes of space on Satellite Server.
In such cases, you can use Incremental Export to export only pieces of content that changed since the previous export. Incremental exports typically result in smaller archive files than the full exports.
The example below targets the version 2.0
for export, because the version 1.0
was exported previously.
Procedure
Create an incremental export:
# hammer content-export incremental version \ --content-view="Content_View_Name" \ --organization="My_Organization" \ --version=2.0
Optional: View the exported Content View:
# ls -lh /var/lib/pulp/exports/My_Organization/view/2.0/2021-02-25T21-45-34-00-00/
9.7. Exporting a Repository
You can export the content of a repository in the Library environment of an organization from Satellite Server. You can use this archive file to create the same repository in another Satellite Server or in another Satellite Server organization.
You can export the following content from Satellite Server:
- RPM repositories
- Kickstart repositories
- Ansible repositories
- file repositories
You cannot export Docker content from Satellite Server.
The export contains the following data:
- Two JSON files containing repository metadata.
- One or more archive files containing the contents of the repository from the Library environment of the organization.
You need all the files, tar.gz
, toc.json
and metadata.json
, to be able to import.
Prerequisites
To export the contents of a repository, ensure that Satellite Server from which you want to export, meets the following conditions:
- Ensure that the export directory has enough free storage space to accommodate the export.
-
Ensure that the
/var/lib/pulp/exports
directory has enough free storage space equivalent to the size of the repositories being exported for temporary files created during the export process. - Ensure that you set download policy to Immediate for the repository within the Library lifecycle environment you export. For more information, see Section 6.7, “Download Policies Overview”.
- Ensure that you synchronize Products that you export to the required date.
Export a Repository
Use the repository name or ID to export.
# hammer content-export complete repository \ --organization="My_Organization" \ --product="My_Product" \ --name="My_Repository"
Optional: Verify that the exported archive is located in the export directory:
# ls -lh /var/lib/pulp/exports/My_Organization/Export-My_Repository/1.0/2021-03-02T03-35-24-00-00 total 68M -rw-r--r--. 1 pulp pulp 68M Mar 2 03:35 export-1e25417c-6d09-49d4-b9a5-23df4db3d52a-20210302_0335.tar.gz -rw-r--r--. 1 pulp pulp 333 Mar 2 03:35 export-1e25417c-6d09-49d4-b9a5-23df4db3d52a-20210302_0335-toc.json -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 443 Mar 2 03:35 metadata.json
Export a Repository with Chunking
In many cases the exported content archive may be several gigabytes in size. If you want to split it into chunks of smaller size, you can use the --chunk-size-gb
argument in the export command and limit the size by an integer value in gigabytes.
Export content into archive chunks of a limited size, such as 2 GB:
# hammer content-export complete repository \ --chunk-size-gb=2 \ --organization="My_Organization" \ --product="My_Product" \ --name="My_Repository" Generated /var/lib/pulp/exports/My_Organization/Export-My_Repository/1.0/2021-03-02T03-35-24-00-00/metadata.json
Optional: View the exported data:
# ls -lh /var/lib/pulp/exports/My_Organization/Export-My_Repository/1.0/2021-03-02T03-35-24-00-00/
9.8. Exporting a Repository Incrementally
Exporting a repository can be a very expensive operation in terms of system resources. A typical Red Hat Enterprise Linux tree may occupy several gigabytes of space on Satellite Server.
In such cases, you can use Incremental Export to export only pieces of content that changed since the previous export. Incremental exports typically result in smaller archive files than the full exports.
The example below shows incremental export of a repository in the Library lifecycle environment.
Procedure
Create an incremental export:
# hammer content-export incremental repository \ --organization="My_Organization" \ --product="My_Product" \ --name="My_Repository" Generated /var/lib/pulp/exports/My_Organization/Export-My_Repository/3.0/2021-03-02T03-35-24-00-00/metadata.json
Optional: View the exported data:
# ls -lh /var/lib/pulp/exports/My_Organization/Export-My_Repository/3.0/2021-03-02T03-35-24-00-00/ total 172K -rw-r--r--. 1 pulp pulp 20M Mar 2 04:22 export-436882d8-de5a-48e9-a30a-17169318f908-20210302_0422.tar.gz -rw-r--r--. 1 pulp pulp 333 Mar 2 04:22 export-436882d8-de5a-48e9-a30a-17169318f908-20210302_0422-toc.json -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 492 Mar 2 04:22 metadata.json
9.9. Keeping Track of Your Exports
Satellite keeps records of all exports. Each time you export content on the upstream Satellite Server, the export is recorded and maintained for future querying. You can use the records to organize and manage your exports, which is useful especially when exporting incrementally.
When exporting content from the upstream Satellite Server for several downstream Satellite Servers, you can also keep track of content exported for specific servers. This helps you track which content was exported and to where.
Use the --destination-server
argument during export to indicate the target server. This option is available for all content-export
operations.
Tracking Destinations of Library Exports
Specify the destination server when exporting the Library:
# hammer content-export complete library \ --destination-server=My_Downstream_Server_1 \ --organization="My_Organization" \ --version=1.0
Tracking Destinations of Content View Exports
Specify the destination server when exporting a Content View version:
# hammer content-export complete version \ --content-view="Content_View_Name" \ --destination-server=My_Downstream_Server_1 \ --organization="My_Organization" \ --version=1.0
Querying Export Records
List content exports using the following command:
# hammer content-export list --organization="My_Organization"
9.10. Importing into the Library Environment
You can import exported Library content into the Library lifecycle environment of an organization on another Satellite Server. For more information about exporting contents from the Library environment, see Section 9.3, “Exporting the Library Environment”.
Prerequisites
-
The exported files must be in a directory under
/var/lib/pulp/imports
. - If there are any Red Hat repositories in the exported content, the importing organization’s manifest must contain subscriptions for the products contained within the export.
- The user importing the content must have the Content Importer Role.
Procedure
-
Copy the exported files to a subdirectory of
/var/lib/pulp/imports
on Satellite Server where you want to import. Set the ownership of the import directory and its contents to
pulp:pulp
.# chown -R pulp:pulp /var/lib/pulp/imports/2021-03-02T03-35-24-00-00 # ls -lh /var/lib/pulp/imports/2021-03-02T03-35-24-00-00 total 68M -rw-r--r--. 1 pulp pulp 68M Mar 2 04:29 export-1e25417c-6d09-49d4-b9a5-23df4db3d52a-20210302_0335.tar.gz -rw-r--r--. 1 pulp pulp 333 Mar 2 04:29 export-1e25417c-6d09-49d4-b9a5-23df4db3d52a-20210302_0335-toc.json -rw-r--r--. 1 pulp pulp 443 Mar 2 04:29 metadata.json
- Identify the Organization that you wish to import into.
To import the Library content to Satellite Server, enter the following command:
# hammer content-import library \ --organization="My_Organization" \ --path=/var/lib/pulp/imports/2021-03-02T03-35-24-00-00
Note you must enter the full path
/var/lib/pulp/imports/My_Exported_Library_Dir
. Relative paths do not work.To verify that you imported the Library content, check the contents of the Product and Repositories. A new Content View called
Import-Library
is created in the target organization. This Content View is used to facilitate the Library content import.By default, this Content View is not shown in the Satellite web UI.
Import-Library
is not meant to be assigned directly to hosts. Instead, assign your hosts toDefault Organization View
or another Content View as you would normally.
9.11. Importing a Content View Version
You can import an exported Content View version to create a version with the same content in an organization on another Satellite Server. For more information about exporting a Content View version, see Section 9.5, “Exporting a Content View Version”.
When you import a Content View version, it has the same major and minor version numbers and contains the same repositories with the same packages and errata. Custom Repositories, Products and Content Views are automatically created if they do not exist in the importing organization.
Prerequisites
-
The exported files must be in a directory under
/var/lib/pulp/imports
. - If there are any Red Hat repositories in the exported content, the importing organization’s manifest must contain subscriptions for the products contained within the export.
- The user importing the Content View version must have the Content Importer Role.
Procedure
-
Copy the exported files to a subdirectory of
/var/lib/pulp/imports
on Satellite Server where you want to import. Set the ownership of the import directory and its contents to
pulp:pulp
.# chown -R pulp:pulp /var/lib/pulp/imports/2021-02-25T21-15-22-00-00/
Verify that the ownership is set correctly:
# ls -lh /var/lib/pulp/imports/2021-02-25T21-15-22-00-00/
To import the Content View version to Satellite Server, enter the following command:
# hammer content-import version \ --organization-id=My_Organization_ID \ --path=/var/lib/pulp/imports/2021-02-25T21-15-22-00-00/
Note that you must enter the full path
/var/lib/pulp/imports/My_Exported_Version_Dir
. Relative paths do not work.To verify that you imported the Content View version successfully, list Content View versions for your organization:
# hammer content-view version list \ --organization-id=My_Organization_ID
9.12. Importing a Repository
You can import an exported repository into an organization on another Satellite Server. For more information about exporting content of a repository, see Section 9.7, “Exporting a Repository”.
Prerequisites
-
The export files must be in a directory under
/var/lib/pulp/imports
. - If the export contains any Red Hat repositories, the manifest of the importing organization must contain subscriptions for the products contained within the export.
- The user importing the content must have the Content Importer Role.
Procedure
-
