Offline updates - best practice?
Here's the situation:
We have a RHEL server running in an environment with no internet access. I would like to keep this server updated but am obviously unable to connect it to RHN. What is the best practice for performing remote/offline updates? Do I just build another server that has internet access and download all required updates? And how can I determine what updates I need without connecting the server to RHN? And how will this work with subsriptions? I mean, I have 1 subsription, but building another RHEL server to download the updates would require another subscription right? What have other people done? Thanks for the advice in advance. |
TBH, if you've got a subscription, then you've paid for support, so just ring them and get the official answer.

Did just that, this is the response, which I found quite helpful:

Great. Maybe you should ask the mods to move the this to the 'Success Stories' section, even sticky it in RH forum. Just use the 'Report' button in your post.
That way everybody benefits. :) |
