Maintenance

Because of the RHN Satellite Server's unique closed environment, its users are provided with

abilities not available to any other Red Hat Network customers. In addition, the Satellite itself

also requires maintenance. This chapter discusses the procedures that should be followed to

carry out administrative functions outside of standard use, as well as to apply patches to the

RHN Satellite Server.

1. Managing the Satellite Service

Since the RHN Satellite Server consists of a multitude of individual components, Red Hat

provides a master service that allows you to stop, start, or retrieve status information from the

various services in the appropriate order: rhn-satellite. This helper service accepts all of the

typical commands:

service rhn-satellite start

service rhn-satellite stop

service rhn-satellite restart

service rhn-satellite status

Use the rhn-satellite service to shut down and bring up the entire RHN Satellite Server and

retrieve status messages from all of its services at once.

2. Updating the Satellite

If any critical updates are made to RHN Satellite Server, they will be released in the form of an

Erratum for the RHN Satellite Server.

For RHN Satellite Server systems that may be connected to the Internet, the best method for

applying these Errata Updates is using the Red Hat Update Agent via Red Hat Network. Since

the RHN Satellite Server is subscribed to Red Hat Network during initial installation, the user

should be able to run up2date -u on the RHN Satellite Server or use the website at

https://rhn.redhat.com to apply the updates.

Important

Apache RPMs do not restart the httpd service upon installation. Therefore, after

conducting a full update of an RHN Satellite Server (such as with the command

up2date -uf), Apache may fail. To avoid this, make sure you restart the httpd

service after upgrading it.

For RHN Satellite Server systems that may not be connected to the Internet, the packages

themselves may be retrieved using a customer account at https://rhn.redhat.com. Then, they
