Installation

This chapter describes the initial installation of the RHN Satellite. It presumes the prerequisites listed

in Chapter 2, Requirements have been met. If you are instead upgrading to a newer version of RHN

Satellite, contact your Red Hat representative for assistance.

4.1. Base Install

RHN Satellite is designed to run on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system. Therefore, the

first phase is to install the base operating system, either from disc, ISO image, or kickstart. During and

after operating system installation, make sure you:

• Allocate plenty of space to the partitions storing data. The default location for channel packages

is /var/satellite/. For RHN Satellite with Embedded Database, remember the database

RPMs go in the /opt/ partition, while the database itself is built in /rhnsat/. Refer to Section 2.2,

“Hardware Requirements” for precise specifications.

• Enable Network Time Protocol (NTP) on the Satellite and separate database, if it exists, and select

the appropriate time zone. All client systems should already be running the ntpd daemon and be

set to the correct time zone.

• Due to potential complications, it is strongly advised that the /home/ partition is locally mounted.

4.2. RHN Satellite Installation Program

The following instructions describe how to run the RHN Satellite Installation Program:

Important

Due to potential complications, it is strongly advised that the /home/ partition is locally mounted.

1. Log into the machine as root.

2. Insert the RHN Satellite Server CD containing the installation files or download the ISO image

from the RHN website.

3. If you are installing from CD, Red Hat Enterprise Linux may automount the CD. If it does so, it will

mount the CD to the /media/cdrom/ directory.

If Red Hat Enterprise Linux does not automount the CD, manually mount it to the /media/

cdrom/ directory with the following command:

mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

If you are installing from an ISO, mount the file from within the directory containing it using the

command:

mount -o loop iso_filename /media/cdrom

The remaining instructions assume it is mounted in /media/cdrom/.
