How to get updates to non-internet RHEL?

sluge · 04-19-2012, 01:52 AM

Hello
I plan to install RHEL to a VM without internet access, is any way to get updates for it? I hear that it's possible to download ISO file with updates, am I right?

PS:Looking a lot about this in RH support site, nothing interesting ;(

it sounds like you have no business running rhel in the first place. I would suggest CentOS as a like for like swap with more flexibility for obtaining updates. Here you can then mirror an update repository from mirror.centos.org in a location where you CAN reach it, transfer the files and set it up as a local yum repository. IF you can get the rpms in the first place from RHN you can do this too for RHEL, but it's much harder, and you're probably not licensed for it anyway. A document like this can help you get started - http://www.lanigera.com/wordpress/20...os-repository/

Only if you're registered on Red Hat website. And not ISO files with updates instead updated packages or updated version of RHEL.
