2.8. Adding Installation Media to Satellite

Procedure

1. In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Hosts > Installation Media and click Create Medium.
2. In the Name field, enter a name to represent the installation media entry.

3. In the Path enter the URL or NFS share that contains the installation tree. You can use following variables in the path to represent multiple different system architectures and versions:

   • $arch - The system architecture.
   • $version - The operating system version.
   • $major - The operating system major version.

   • $minor - The operating system minor version.

     Example HTTP path:

     http://download.example.com/centos/$version/Server/$arch/os/

     Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

     Example NFS path:

     nfs://download.example.com:/centos/$version/Server/$arch/os/

     Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

     Synchronized content on Capsule Servers always uses an HTTP path. Capsule Server managed content does not support NFS paths.

4. From the Operating system family list, select the distribution or family of the installation medium. For example, CentOS and Fedora are in the Red Hat family.
5. Click the Organizations and Locations tabs, to change the provisioning context. Satellite Server adds the installation medium to the set provisioning context.
6. Click Submit to save your installation medium.
