Importing and Synchronizing

After installing the RHN Satellite Server, you must provide it with the packages and channels to

be served to client systems. This chapter explains how to import that data and keep it up to date

whether the content is from RHN's central servers, local media, or from one Satellite within your

organization to another.

Two tools, RHN Satellite Exporter and RHN Satellite Synchronization Tool, come installed as

part of the rhns-sat-tools package.

1. Exporting with RHN Satellite Exporter

The RHN Satellite Exporter (rhn-satellite-exporter) tool exports Satellite content in an

XML format that can then be imported into another identical Satellite. The content is exported

into a directory specified by the user with the -d option. Once that directory has been

transported to another Satellite, the RHN Satellite Synchronization Tool may be used to

import the contents, synchronizing two Satellites.

1.1. rhn-satellite-exporter

The RHN Satellite Exporter can export the following content:

• Channel Families

• Architectures

• Channel metadata

• Blacklists

• RPMs

• RPM metadata

• Errata

• Kickstarts

The amount of time it takes rhn-satellite-exporter to export data is dependent on the

number and size of the channels being exported. Using the --no-packages, --no-kickstarts,

--no-errata, and --no-rpms options reduces the amount of time required for

rhn-satellite-exporter to run, but also prevents potentially useful information from being

exported. For that reason, these options should only be used when you are certain that you will

not need the content that they exclude. Additionally, you must use the matching options for

satellite-sync when importing the data. For example, if you use --no-kickstarts with

rhn-satellite-exporter you must specify the --no-kickstarts option when importing the

data.
