6.4.1. Recommended Models for Inter-Satellite Sync
The Inter-Satellite Sync feature for Satellite provides facilities for synchronizing content between
two or more Satellites. The following are some of the more typical uses that show the possibilities of
Inter-Satellite Sync and help guide you in determining how to make the most of this feature in your
environment.
Note
If you are not sure if the Inter-Satellite Sync feature is right for your organization, please note that
you can continue to use RHN Satellite 5.3 or greater in the typical manner. Installing or upgrading
to RHN Satellite 5.3 or greater does not require that you make use of this feature.
Figure 6.1. Staging Satellite
In this example, the Stage Satellite is used to prepare the content and perform quality assurance
(QA) work — to make sure that packages are fit for production use. After content is approved to go to
production, the Production Satellite will then synchronize the content from the Stage Satellite.
Figure 6.2. Master Server and Slave Peers that include their own custom content
In this example, the master Satellite is the development channel, from which content is distributed to
all production slave Satellites. Some slave Satellites have extra content not present in master Satellite
channels. These packages are preserved, but all changes from master Satellite are synchronized to
Slave Satellite.
