Chapter 1. Introduction

The RHN Satellite management tools are used to synchronize the RHN Satellite database and

package repository with Red Hat Network. The RHN Satellite import tool allows the system

administrator to include custom RPM packages in the package repository.

RHN Satellite can be used in conjunction with RHN Proxy Server to deliver a distributed, self-

contained Red Hat Network deployment for the organization. For example, an organization can

maintain one RHN Satellite in a secure location. Red Hat systems with local network access to the

RHN Satellite can connect to it. Other remote offices can maintain RHN Proxy Server installations that

connect to the RHN Satellite. The different locations inside the organization must be networked, but

this can be a private network; an Internet connection is not required for any of the systems. Refer to

the RHN Proxy Server Installation Guide for more information.

1.5. Summary of Steps

Implementing a fully functional RHN Satellite requires more than installing software and a database.

Client systems must be configured to use the Satellite. Custom packages and channels should be

created for optimal use. Since these tasks extend beyond the basic installation, they are covered in

detail in other guides, as well as this RHN Satellite Installation Guide. For a full list of the necessary

technical documents, refer to Chapter 2, Requirements.

For this reason, this section seeks to provide a definitive list of all required and recommended steps,

from evaluation through custom package deployment. They should take place in roughly this order:

1. After an evaluation, you contact your Red Hat sales representative to purchase RHN Satellite.

2. Your Red Hat contact sends you an RHN Entitlement Certificate via email.
