Red Hat Satellite 6.16 Upgrade Part 2

-

Synchronising the New Repositories



You must enable and synchronise the new 6.16 repositories before you can upgrade Capsule Servers and Satellite clients.

In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Content > Red Hat Repositories. Toggle the Recommended Repositories switch to the On position.




From the list of results, expand the following repositories and click the Enable icon to enable the repositories:

Red Hat Satellite Client 6 repositories for all Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions that clients use.

If you have Capsule Servers, to upgrade them, enable the following repositories too:

Red Hat Satellite Capsule 6.16 (for RHEL 8 x86_64) (RPMs)

Red Hat Satellite Maintenance 6.16 (for RHEL 8 x86_64) (RPMs)

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (for x86_64 - BaseOS) (RPMs)

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (for x86_64 - AppStream) (RPMs)

Note: If the Satellite 6.16 repositories are not visible in your Satellite, in the Satellite web UI, navigate to Content > Subscriptions, and then click Manage Manifest. In the Subscription Manifest pane, click Refresh to download the latest copy of the Subscription Manifest.

In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Content > Sync Status. Click the arrow next to the product to view the available repositories.

Select the repositories for 6.16. Note that Red Hat Satellite Client 6 does not have a 6.16 version. Choose Red Hat Satellite Client 6 instead.

Click Synchronise Now.




Note: If an error occurs when you try to synchronize a repository, refresh the manifest. If the problem persists, raise a support request. Do not delete the manifest from the Customer Portal or in the Satellite web UI; this removes all the entitlements of your content hosts.

If you use Content Views to control updates to the base operating system of Capsule Server, update those Content Views with new repositories, publish, and promote their updated versions. For more information, see Managing Content Views in the Managing content.

This is precisely the challenge Red Hat Satellite is designed to solve. As the premier smart management tool for the RHEL ecosystem, Satellite provides a single pane of glass for the entire lifecycle of your systems. But what does "smart management" truly mean in a technical context? It's a suite of integrated capabilities: Content Management: Satellite provides full control over your software lifecycle. It syncs content (RPMs, container images, etc.) from Red Hat's CDN and allows you to curate it in Content Views . You can then promote this content through Lifecycle Environments (e.g., Dev → Test → Prod), ensuring that pat...
