4.5. MySQL Installation

This sections is applicable only if your RHN Satellite will serve Monitoring-entitled systems and you wish to run MySQL probes against them. Refer to the Probes appendix of the RHN Satellite Reference Guide for a list of available probes.

If you do wish to run MySQL probes, subscribe the Satellite to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS channel and install the mysql-server package either through the RHN website or by yum (or up2date for earlier versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux).

Two extra packages will also be downloaded in the transaction. These are needed for the mysql-server package to be installed and run successfully. Once finished, your Satellite may be used to schedule MySQL probes.
