RHEL Repo Sync to Local system

linux_student_007 · 02-13-2015, 08:56 AM

Hi Team,

I have RHEL satellite login credentials and I am able to update successfully my machine.Updating single worked for sometime.

My current requirement is to keep a separate VM locally in my environment and sync the RHEL repo to my machine.

How do I do it.

Thanks in advance

Simple: you contact Red Hat support for help, since you're PAYING FOR IT, and ask them. There is also ample documentation on Red Hat's website about how to configure satellite servers, and move them if need be, and how to update the repositories. Satellite is not free, nor is RHEL...you are PAYING for both (and a LOT...satellite is not cheap), so using the support you've paid for is your best bet.

What I do in my closed networks is download all the update packages using yum-downloadonly and then just pointing my repo file to it. It's quick and dirty, but works for test networks.

Code:

[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
baseurl=file:///mnt/hgfs/rhel6/yum/base
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

[update]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Update
baseurl=file:///mnt/hgfs/rhel6/yum/update
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

Create_a_Local_Yum_Repository says CentOS5.xx but it likely will work with minor effort on 6 or 7 also.
