Redhat satellite server and yum
Hi,
My organization is not connected to the internet, and never will be for security reasons, i'm starting to put linux machines in our organization and i would like to
use yum to keep them updated. we chose RH ES as our linux os. what is the best way to be able to keep out machine updated?
what i'm going to do is create a satellite machine and get the updates by external media and then use yum for keeping my machines updated. is it the best way for doing it? any one know any other way, like how can i download all redhat updates and then ket a delta without an installation of a satellite server.
thanks.
Oded.

If you're getting a Satellite server, then you don't use yum - you'll use the rhnsd daemon which I believe uses up2date. If you want to force an update on a machine, you'll use rhn_check

i was going to get satellite server to download all the rpms and then use yum inside the organization to manage the repository (after manipulating the repository to be a yum repository)
but,
i understand that the satellite server need a license, so i'm not going to use it any way.
so, is there any way to get all the errats from RHN from any pc and not a computer that have AS/ES installed and get his own platform updates???
thanks.

You can only download updates from Red Hat if you have a licence for the software. This generally means that you will have an AS / ES / WS machine somewhere. Are you asking about downloading these updates _without_ a licence, or from a machine that isn't one of these ?

hi,
i've license for more then one machine for AS and ES,
and i've servers from ibm and from hp,
and my configuration on each server is different (will have about 100 machines),
and some servers will have ES3/AS3/ES4/AS4 installed and not all of them in the same update release..
so, as you can understand i have many kind of configurations...
and non of them is connected to the internet and never will be,
because my network will never be connected to the internet not even behind a FW.
i dont have a problem to install one machine that will be connected to the internet,
i dont have a problem to download the update releases every time there is one,
but i don't know if it's possible to download all the erratas automatically for all the versions i have...
also i dont wish to buy a license for redhat satellite...
Oded.
